M. blind ed. The same old stoi-y. Bloom out hit Bucknell but still lost a ball game by a 6 to 2 score played at Lewisburg last Saturday afternoon. Don Gleasner, who started and finished on the mound for the local V-12's, was j ust wild enough to be effective. He had the Bisons guessing as to what was coming next and where it was coming from, hence he struck out none of the university men; had he had better support from the remaining members of the cast the game would have been more keenly contested. Along with his pitching chores Don fur thered his own cause with a triple and a homer. With two away in the first inning Gezick singled and scored following Kenealy 's first of two "daily doubles." Bucknell knotted the score with a run in the first and went ahead with a three run splurge in the third produced by three singles, a free base, and some erratic field work. The victors increased their lead to 5 to 1 in the sixth, but Gleasner got one run back when he swatted his homer with none on in the seventh. The four baser ended the local's scoring festivities. The Bisons added another run in their column during the eighth to win 6 to 2. Kenealy pounded two of Kelly 's offerings over the short left field fence for ground-rule doubles; however , the drives would have been good for the circuit in an ordinary ball park.
