...inning the Freshmen were well in the lead, the score standing 7 to 1, when the Sophomores by means of good batting, assisted by three errors on the part of their opponents, brought in seven runs.

...University diamond, Soldiers Field, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. A hard week's practice for the Freshmen has brought considerable improvement in the playing of the team as a whole. The team work is more consistent, and the batting and especially the bunting have improved.

But with persistent coaching, these faults are being gradually overcome. R. Kernan is doing good work behind the bat, having shown marked improvement both in catching pitched balls and foul flies...
