Holmes field was rather too soft for cricket yesterday, especially after the two showers, but the scheduled championship match was played off in spite of unfavorable conditions. Haverford went to the bat first, and by steady play piled up 85 runs, Muir leading with 19. Sharper fielding by Harvard would have kept the score lower. Brown and Garrett led off in Harvard's first innings. and made 25 runs in quick succession before the first wicket fell. After that the side was retired rapidly by the puzzling balls of Martin and Baily. The game was stopped by rain after Haverford...

Mr. Lathrop shows published opinions of Ford, Baxter and other New York athletes, doubting the justice of the decision by which Shearman was allowed to use Leavitt's pole. If there was any discourtesy shown it must have been by the one who made so embarrassing a request. Leavitt and Shearman are good friends and all Harvard athletes are surprised that anything ever has been said...
...first concert will be given in Omaha, where there is a large Princeton club. The second concert will be given at Denver, and the third at Salt Lake City. Leaving Salt Lake City, no further stops will be made until SanFrancisco is reached.

The return east will be made by the Northern Pacific route, and the concluding concerts will be given at St. Paul and Minneapolis. It is expected that Chicago, where the clubs will disband...
