Meanwhile Geralde has used up all his money, and writes to his father for more, pretending to be hard at work in Bourges. Through the clumsiness of Crispin, by whom the letter was to be delivered, Lisidor's suspicions are aroused; for Crispin lost the real letter and, being afraid to tell his master, prepared a poor imitation of it, giving some lame excuses for strange lapses in his recollections of Bourges...
...practice of the nine yesterday was long and hard, but was far from satisfactory. In the batting practice all the men hit well, but the base-running was slow and showed lack of judgment. Devens and Fincke both showed great improvement in hitting. In the field the work was fast and the throwing accurate, but an unusual number of errors were made on ground hits and thrown balls. Clark and Stillman were given plenty of practice in fielding bunts, and both caught the runners almost invariably. Fincke made several difficult stops, but missed some easy throws. C. F. Payne...
...nine yesterday was equally divided between batting and practicing the fine points which were lacking in the Holy Cross game. The work on the whole was list-less, but at several times brilliant plays were made. Reid and Coolidge batted well, but the rest of the men swung too hard and failed to place their hits...

Such a showing against White, one of the best men pitching on college teams this year, is not discreditable. Georgetown did not hit Kernan hard, but bunched hits when they were needed and took advantage of bases...
