...Dinner, Union Club, Boston. Before the dinner those who wish can attend the ball game and sit together; others can enjoy an automobile trip, meeting at the house of E. W. Hutchins, 166 Beacon street, at 12 M. June 22.--Headquarters, Thayer...
...first, and with Mahan in the box the University had an easy time of it, winning, 6 to 0, after getting a three-run start in the first inning.
