Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE369Steady practice put organization into the disheartened nine, however, and with encouragement, Friedman blossomed into a steadypitcher, holding Franklin to a lucky 3 to 1 victory and having the best of the Rose Polytechnic game the next day up till the ninth inning. From then on, with a full lineup, theTeachers began to play first-class ball.Indiana Law was taken into camp, the overwhelming defeat of Eastern Illinois was wipedoff the records, and Rose went down before theNormal aggregation for the first time in years.Normal bade fair to finish the season with abalance of victories on her side, but ManagerCohee was unable to secure other dates forgames with Franklin and Bradley Polytechnic,which had been postponed on account of rain.Indiana Law also sidestepped a return gamewith the Teachers, as did Eastern Illinois. Thebouts between the rival Rose and Normalcrowds at the second contest between the twoschools was thought by the authorities sufficientto put a ban upon playing off the rubber between the two schools, and the baseball seasonat the Normal died for lack of fuel.The fans are satisfied with the pluck and endurance showed by the team, however, in winning the last three games played./.
