...until the fifteenth inning when Barry, the hard hitting shortstop of the Philadelphia team, lined out a beautiful homer after two men were down, winning the game, 5 to 3. On Decoration Day the extra-inning victors were given a set-back by the Tigers in another after-time affair. Princeton rallied in the 12th and drove out six timely hits for a total of five runs, turning the game in its favor, 7 to 2. The following Saturday the Red and Blue nine took a brace and in the deciding contest of the three-game series with Yale pounded...
Wagner's opera, "Die Walkure," will be presented in the Yale Bowl at New Haven at 7.45 o'clock tonight. Mr. S. Kronberg, of Boston, who staged the performance of "Siegfried" in the Stadium a year ago, is in charge of the affair, which will be conducted along the same general lines as was the opera last June, but enlarged. Many noted singers are to take part,-Mme. Johanna Gadski as Brunhilde; Mme. Schumann-Heink, as Fricka; Mme. Melaine Kurt, as Sieglinde; M. Johannes Sembach, as Siemunde; Clarence Whitehill, as Waton; Carl Braun, as Hunding, and other Metropolitan stars...

However, when the break came, the Tigers drove over five runs in a bunch, making the final count 7 and 2. Princeton developed considerable hitting ability in this game, banging out 14 safeties...
Yale will meet the University lacrosse team this afternoon in a game played at Soldiers Field directly following the track meet. The contest, which promises to be a lively affair, will be the final game of the season for both teams. The game will have no bearing on the championship of the northern division of the intercollegiate lacrosse league, however. That has been clinched by Cornell, which beat Yale last Monday 5 to 1, and defeated the University the Saturday before by the score...
Many of us have been awaiting, with considerable interest, the first public appearance of the Regimental Band in connection with any event other than a Regimental affair. Those interested in the musical activities of the college are inclined to be unusually charitable toward an admirable institution, which may blunder through no fault other than its youth; but members of the older musical organizations cannot help feeling that the playing of "Fair Harvard" in mutilated rag-time, as it was rendered at the meet Saturday, is, at best, an extraordinary violation of good taste in the light of Harvard tradition...
