...nine played its third game of the season with the Holy Cross College nine at Worcester on Saturday. The playing of the nine was strong throughout. White pitched well, and was well supported behind the bat by Allen, who made several very brilliant stops. Smith covered first base in fine style, having played an errorless game thus far this season. Beaman made several fine stops of hard hit grounders, and his accurate throwing to first was worthy of praise. The nine showed a decided improvement in base running. Nichols and White led in batting. Following is the score...
...finely located on the hill, commanding a view of the town and lake; indeed, from the upper stories of Sage, the eye can take in the country for miles up and down the valley. In the summer, when the hillsides are covered with verdure, and the sun, just dropping behind the western hill, lights up the valley with its farewell glories, the poetic part of the co-ed nature receives a stimulus which forms a powerful antidote to the prosaic effect of Calculus and Psychology...
...position for all it was worth, and made several beautiful stops of hard-hit balls. The play of the freshmen members of the nine was noteworthy. Smith played an exceptionally good game on first, but his base-running was hardly up to the mark. Allen played a steady game behind the bat and made a very pretty catch of a foul tip from Richardson's bat. In the seventh inning Coolidge was run into by H. B. Hall, who was trying to steal second. The result was a severe sprain of the ankle which will prevent him from playing again...
YALE.The Yale nine is thought to be weaker than last year, as it has lost the services of Hopkins, Badger, Platt, Smith and Wilcox. Jones will pitch again and will be supported by Hubbard behind the bat. The change pitcher will be Booth, who pitched in the freshman nine year before last and who was thought at that time to be a phenomenon. Souther, '84, will be change catcher. Hopkins' placeat first will be taken by Childs, '83, while Camp goes from short to second, leaving his old place to Griggs, '83, an excellent short-stop and a heavy batter...
...juniors have made some improvement during their vacation but their time is still rather poor and they row a very short stroke. No. 8 rows a jerky stroke, No. 7 catches behind and No. 6 ahead, the port side follow six and there is a break on the starboard side between three and five. The whole crew except stroke sliver out at the finish. No. 6 faces his blade too much and hurries down on the recover and No. 3 does not get his catch hard enough. Bow starts out in good form but somehow soon loses it. The port...
