...baseball season here is approaching the climax of the Yale game, we should like to enquire with what aim the undergraduates have attended the contests of the past few weeks. If it has been merely to see two nines play ball, well and good, or rather well and bad, they might have satisfied their desire just as completely on the South End Grounds. If with any intention of rendering their team encouragement and support, their failure has been little less than ludicrous. A stranger in Cambridge attending one of the minor games, would have received the impression that...

The bad weather of the past week has prevented much out-door work, and necessitated cage practice, but the nine has been given unusually hard work notwithstanding, and is getting into fairly good condition...

Kendall played a strong game at first, but owing to a bad shoulder, gave way to Whittemore in the sixth inning. For St. Marks, Whittemore at second showed up well, accepting his eight chances without an error. The feature of the game was a double play, made by Fincke and Whittemore in the seventh inning...
