...Cummin and Wrenn made clean hits, thereby bringing in the winning runs. Spalding pitched a good game, but his support from Hollis was, at times, very loose. Wrenn played a beautiful game at second base with the exception of his inexcusable muffs of thrown balls. Carpenter played faultlessly at first, and Cummin made good catches in left field.

It seems to be characteristic of this year's freshman...

He was followed thirty seconds later by Batchelder, and Cartwright was thirty-nine seconds behind Batchelder. The relative order...

...have been played so far in the college tennis tournament. It will be seen that as yet the matches have all been fairly close, and the indications are the final rounds will be close and unusually well played. By misunderstanding the match between Lee and Tailer was not played. First Day.- Tallant beat Lockett, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3; Jennings beat Hale, 6-3, 6-5; Brooks beat Tolman, 6-2, 6-1.
