WORCESTER T E C H
DEFEATS STATE
T h e Slate College nine lost its
first home game in baseball last
Friday
afternoon
at
Ridgelield
park.
State failed to score a run, as the
p i t c h i n g of Hunt, and fielding of
t h e players, was too much for t h e
S t a t e nine. Nevertheless, the old
S t a t e College lighting spirit was
evidenced t h r o u g h o u t t h e g a m e ;
and we have good reason to be
proud of a team who fought so
earnestly, and played so hard, as
did our nine at last Friday's game.
Next Saturday State meets Mass.

were beaten by W o r c e s t e r Tech,
earlier in the season. State is out
practicing hard every d a y for
t h e y ' r e out with a vengeance.
