Harvard '98, 11 ; St. Marks, 8.The freshman nine gave the St. Mark's team their first defeat of the season in Southborough, Saturday. The St. Mark's team had several good opportunities to score, but weakened at critical moments. Edmunds and Goodridge led in batting and White pitched well for St. Mark...
PROVIDENCE, R. I., May 2. - Brown more than retaliated on Holy Cross for her recent defeat by winning the game this afternoon by the score 16 to 5.

The University has a right to demand much of the nine; but disappointment and a certain measure of disgust must not make it forget the right of a representative nine to hearty...
...game of last Saturday had been an important one, any comment on Harvard's defeat would have been superfluous. No one could feel it more intensely than the men themselves and there would be nothing to gain by dwelling on what everybody knew only too well. The case seems to be different with the Tufts game. The trouble was not that the team did not contain the best players available; it is necessary to use inferior players at times in order to develop material, as every one knows, though we believe that this should not be done at the risk...
