...meets Pennsylvania on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock. This will be the second contest of a two-game series. The first game, played at Philadelphia on May 6, resulted in a timely victory for the University, due to the brilliant twirling of Mahan who, besides pitching an air-tight game, drove in two runs. Judging from the way he fooled the Penn. batters in the first contest, Coach Mitchell will doubtless send him into the box again tomorrow. Spielman, the opposing team's star slab-man, will probably face Mahan...
...final with Harvard at bat. A ball long-driven was met on the bound, and a wild, high throw to first was received in the air with a jump and a reach, just in time to put the runner out. The next victim fanned the air. A third went to the plate with a stately tread. It was a sky-rocket, not long but high. That little black sphere in the center of the big shining orb was coming down to mother earth, but it never struck because Orrin Day (second baseman) was in the way. The impact knocked...
...open-air dining hall has been added to the camp at Red Top for the use of the University crew and Coach Herrick has had a small house erected in quarters for his private use. Another improvement is an addition to the boathouse which permits about three more shells to be stored therein...
Saturday's victory was chiefly due to the air-tight pitching of Mahan, coupled with the errorless support and opportune hitting of his team-mates. The University twirler was decidedly stingy with his hits, allowing but six well-scattered ones and whiffing nine of the opposing batsmen. In addition he headed off a dangerous rally of the opposing team by a spectacular barehanded stop of Hoyt's sizzling grounder just in time to stop Lee at the plate. Hoyt's contribution, as it was with only one man down, would undoubtedly have gone for a clean bingle had not Mahan...
...baseball team was defeated by Andover, 4 to 3, at Andover, yesterday afternoon. The Freshmen were in the lead 3 runs to 1 until the eighth inning, when Felton, who had previously pitched almost air-tight ball, weakened at the critical moment, passing one man and hitting another. An error by Sears was just enough to turn the tide in Andover's favor, and the Academy succeeded in putting three men across the plate, and in maintaining the one-run margin until the end of the game...
