...home run in the fifth inning was a terrific drive over the right field fence, said by Amherst men to be one of the longest hits ever made on the field. When he reached home he had ample time to make another base. A more agile runner would have come home on his three-bagger in the third inning. Wiestling and Beaman also hit hard. In the first inning Hunt got in a hit for Amherst, and then Stuart came to the bat and made a long drive to the right field; the ball rolled over the brink...

The nine has labored under untold disadvantages, and the members have attained their present position only by their own untiring energy...
...freshman game with Yale have both been arranged for next Saturday. It is true that the fault does not lie with the officers of the H. A. A., for the date of the game with Yale has been arranged within the past two weeks; but if these two events come off at the same time, great difficulties occur: first, if the sports take precedence, the freshmen will be deprived of Holmes Field, on which, no doubt, they can do the best work; secondly, they will be deprived of a great deal of support by the division of spectators; thirdly, they...
