The three defeats were chiefly due to the inability of the "chicks" to hit the ball hurled at them by these southern pitchers who had made valuable use of the hot I weather in the south to bring ; them in shape. Washington and Lee, V. M. I., Maryland 1 State and 1 Georgetown University were in splendid form having played in instances as many as ten some games previous to our team's ar rival. The first game was scheduled for Tuesday with Washington and University at Lexington, Lee Virginia. Rain spoiled the Tues day game and on Wednesday the "chicks" doubled up and played double header, the first game with Washington and Lee and the second 1 with Virginia Military In a stitute. Washington and- Lee, with an unbroken string of wins, had a hard time defeating "the chicks" and when the game was called in the seventh inning to allow the Delaware team to get to the V. M. I. field, the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of the "Generals." rock pitched fine ball, and had the Delaware team hit the opposing twirler in'the pinches; he would have turned) in a splendid victory experienced and seasoned Roth over an team. After a half mile walk through the mountains the team found the V. M. I. diamond and immediately started the game. "Ev" Megaw twirled' for the '"Chicks" and after a hard battle of ten innings his teammates shoved the winning run over the plate and put the game away by a 2 to 1 score. Delaware was the first to score. B. .Carter singled and G. Carter was hit in ^he head by a pitched ball andfook first. McCardell put the runners up a peg. With Megaw at the bat Coach called for the squeeze and when the V. M. I. catcher let the of , ball get away from him B. Carter i score( j. y. m. I.evened up the count ! 0 n Marvel's error and in the tenth ■ | the Delaware team put the game away when Dantz hit one to sec ond base with a man on third and one down. The ball was played at k first and the winning run was across the plate. Joe Rothrock pitched 1 the last inning and turn ed back the three batsmen who faced him. G. Carter and) Mc I Cardell played a fine game for The ; gj ue an( j Gold.. Gray's arm turned back all ambitious base stealers 1 and McCardell accepted every thing around the middle cushion. On' Thursday the team reached Washington after a fifteen hour all night ride and in the afternoon played the Maryland State College club which hasi an enviable rec ord. Coach started "Lefty" Carll and the 'little southpaw hadl the game sewed up had not two mis cues in the eighth inning put Maryland. State in a position which enabled them to score. Del aware held a 2 to 0 lead) for five innings and later a 3 to 1 lead at the beginning of the eighth. The first man walked 1 and two errors filled the bases with one down. Knod'e, the M. S. C. captain drove a sharp line down first base line which got away from B. Carter and the two tying runs were in. Roth rock went in> for Carll and) when ■ I he tried to get a man off third, the peg went wild and the wunning runs were in. Maryland State was j lucky to get this game as Carll had the edlge all the way. The last game went to George town by a 3 to 0 score. Delaware played good ball and showed mark ed improvement. Joe Rothrock pitched a steady game and but one ■ earned run was scored on bis de livery. Inability to hit was the chief cause of Delaware's failure to score. As a whole the trip was a valu able one. The team iwas much benefited by the workouts obtained in the warm Virginia climate. Coach Shipley is well pleased and from all indications a fine se'ason will be enjoyed by "The Chicks" when they take the field on the old back lot again. North Carolina University and Stevens Tech are the attractions on Friday and Sat urday of this week. F. Bayard Carter in Delaware College Review. 'THE WONDER HAT SCORES A BIG HIT >» Unusual Histrionic Talent Dis played in Faculty Play That the legitimate stage and the silent drama hasi not a monop oly on the histrionic talent of this generation was abundantly proved on Saturday evening when the faculty at the Women's College presented their annual play before the students and a number of in vited guests. The medium chosen was "The Wonder Hat," a one-act play by Ben Hecht and Kenneth S. Good man. The cast, according to an artistic program designed by Miss Florence Hubbard, styled them selves "The Hilarions Players." The presentation was given in the Hilarium Theatre, an improvised stage setting by the same scenic artist, eliciting a spontaneous out burst of applause from the audi ence when the curtains were drawn aside. A park iby moon light was realistically portrayed. A stone wall with real creeping ivy and a benignly smiling man in the moon (the only man pres ent) created much favorable com ment. The excellence of the presenta tion showed that the cast was all star.
