With one 4 to 0 victory over the Red and Blue nine safely stored away, the University baseball team will face Pennsylvania in the final contest of a two-game series on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Coach Mitchell will probably select Mahan to do the slab work for the home team, as the latter was exceedingly effective against the Quakers in the first game, allowing only four scattered hits and whiffing eleven batsmen. Spielman, the opposing team's premier twirler, will doubtless go in the box for the visitors. The latter has shouldered the major portion...
...University nine is entering on the last lap of its schedule with only six more contests yet to be decided. After today's game it has still to meet Tufts, Boston College, and Yale.

On Decoration Day the extra-inning victors were given a set-back by the Tigers in another after-time...
...this week, comes at an unfortunate time as far as the colleges are concerned. A large part of the men are away during the examination period, and those who remain find nearly all their available funds swallowed up by June bills, but the number of votes cast in the contest to decide the name of the asteroid, which is at present being held in trust by the Bazaar, has been discouragingly small, the amount contributed at the end of the third day being under twenty dollars. In the three days, that remain before the money must be sent...
