Rain on Saturday prevented the game with the Josephs of Manhattan College, who won the pennant offered by the New Yorks last year to college teams...
...freshman nine has been chosen, but the play, so far, has been in the nature of leisurely amusement. Since the degeneracy of athletics at the Lawrenceville School, there has been some difficulty in arranging games for the freshman teams, but this only seems to strengthed the desire of these teams to get suits and try to look pretty in them...
