...varsity nine will play the Holy Cross team on Holmes Field this afternoon at four o'clock. This game will, without doubt, be the hardest contest which the nine has had this year. The Holy Cross nine is a very strong organization, and can be depended upon to make the game exceedingly lively for any team they play against. They defeated Brown recently without much difficulty, and have beaten several other strong college teams. Stafford, who is pitching for the nine, is an exprofessional, having pitched for the Worcester team for two or three seasons. Besides being a good pitcher...
This afternoon at four o'clock Harvard will play the J. P. Lovell Arms Company nine and the simple announcement of this game is an assurance of an interesting contest. The Lovell men are determined to do their best to retrieve their defeat of the other day and Harvard will of course make strenuous exertions to prevent the rifle-making baseballists from having this satisfaction. Harvard's batting order will be as follows: Dean, 2b.; Hallowell, c. f.; Hovey, s. s.; Trafford, 1b.; Frothingham, r. f.; Alward, l. f.; Cook, 3b.; Upton, c.; Bates...
Hopkinson is the present holder of the cup. The contest between this school, the Roxbury Latin and Worcester Academy was very close and exciting. Saturday's games, however, will probably excel even last year's meeting in interest. The officers of the association are as follows: President, G. Crompton, W. A.; vice-president, W. J. Batchelder, R. L. S.; secretary, C. Brewer, Hop.; treasurer, A. Bullock Dalzell; executive committee, E. C. Moen, H. A. A., R. S. Hale, J. C. Lee, F. C. Green. Undergraduates, G. Crompton, W. A.; C. H. Mills, Hop.; S. Sanford, F. C.; W. J. Batchelder...
...With a rather discouragingly small array of candidates at the beginning of the season, the captain has succeeded in building up a strong team. In its championship game against Pennsylvania and in the game with Yale next Saturday, the team may expect far more formidable opponents than in the contest with Haverford. A proportionate improvement in the play of Harvard is necessary. We look for it to be made during the few days yet to come before the game at New Haven...
Last year none of the three members of the association won the championship as Harvard beat Haverford, Haverford beat the University of Pennsylvania, and the latter institution beat us, making the result a drawn contest all round...
