Samborski is letting veteran hurler Bren Reilly start for the home team with Bill Hamlen behind the bat. Reilly will have had a six-day rest since he set down Northeastern with one run during his last outing. The rest of the starting lineup is unchanged...
Catcher Cliff Crosby, following close behind his batterymate, Hansen, hammered out three safeties in four times at bat. Johnny Chase singled and doubled in three appearances, while Hal Moffie's double and Myles Huntington's triple rounded out the extra-base hitting...

...Bat Radiators. Like birds, bats are streamlined, with their testes inside their bodies. When inactive, their temperature may fall very low, but when they fly, as they do every night to gather food, they are as hot as birds.

He found that, while they are at rest, their hairless wings are pallid, almost bloodless. But when they raise their temperature to the flying level, which they must do by an effort of will before they...

Fellow zoologists cheer him on, but predict that he will have trouble when he tries to take the temperature of a bat's testes while it is flying...
