...Cutts '28 is Coach F. G. Mitchell's choice for duty in the box this afternoon. Cutts, stellar relief twirler in the last two Yale series, has steadied down a great deal this season and is capable of travelling the full route. Dur- ing his nine innings of action against the strong Quantico Marines, he allowed only two safe hits. He also pitched well in the openers against Boston University, Trinity, and New Hampshire State...
...seems likely that Willard Howard '28 will be Coach T. G. Mitchell's mound choice in this afternoon's game; F. B. Cutts '28 is the other alternative. the latter will most probably be sent into the box Thursday, while J. N. Barbee '28, will be saved for the contest with the Red and Blue at the end of the week.

Travelling the full route against Maine, he fanned-five and allowed only seven scattered hits. In the last...

Last week King George jumped up in a box at Newmarket, the Prince of Wales waved his hat, and the crowd yelled as Scuttle, the King's three-year-old filly, worked up smoothly to pass Lord Dewar's Jurisdiction and win the Thousand Guineas Stakes, worth $5,000 to the winner. Next morning every paper in London printed a picture of the King with a broad smile on his face...
Today Cambridge except for those luckless youths who must watch the game from the Union scoreboard, is as empty as a box marked "discarded baseballs" after an assistant manager has been near. By train, boat, automobile, airplane, even a few by "ride soliciting", Harvard is making its way southward, as the swallow flies. Last night New York was filled with the men who by day walk Mount Auburn Street. This morning the gentleman from Indiana and Westmorly, arm in arm with the class baby of 1911, will measure with his eye the cool quadrangles of Princeton, and to him they...
