...after fighting a long up-hill battle, pulled to the lead over the University nine yesterday afternoon at Soldiers Field and won a gruelling, twelve-session struggle by the score of 4-3. Sprinkled by innings that yielded tremendous excitement, the game on the whole was tightly-played and fast. The pitching of Newton, the visiting boxman, was the most notable defensive work of the contest; allowing the Crimson only nine hits, giving only two passes, and fanning six men, he presented, for eleven innings, and almost impregnable front to the University batters.

With the two hard games against Princeton' and Brown not yet sunk very far into the background, the University nine will meet another fast opponent in the Williams baseball team on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The visitors, it is true, have not won all their games to date, but they have improved considerably since the start of the season and with the veteran pitchers Patton and Holmes, and Benny Boynton leading the attack, will in all probability present a difficult proposition to Coach Slattery's men this afternoon...

They will also have the advantage of playing on their home field, while the strangeness of the ground may make the Freshmen's generally unsteady defence work tellingly erratic...
...University hurdlers have a slight advantage over their opponents on paper, but whether they will be able to come through and win the races is a question. Taylor and Massey both made fast time against the Elis, and are both good for at least a second place, Taylor in the low and Massey in the high hurdles...
