...Freshman team; he is doubtless capable of giving necessary orders. The rest of the men must learn to control their tongues. Their office, except when coaching, is to play ball, not to talk. In the next place, there must be an improvement in the batting. The nine cannot hope to make a decent showing against Yale if man after man strikes out. In the third place, the men must use some judgment in running bases. Every game the Freshmen have played has been characterized by the senseless carelessness of their base-running. Recklessness in running bases may look pretty...
...that this year's team is fully as strong as the one victorious over the Ninety team at Yale. Besides, the Ninety-one nine plays its first game with the Yale freshmen next week, and all the encouragement possible should be given to its members. For this reason, we hope as many men, both freshmen and upper-classmen will see the game this afternoon. Their presence will help to inspire the nine with the confidence it must feel in its strength before it can be fully equipped for a decisive contest...
...surely time for the base-ball management to make arrangements for the annual "scrub" matches, as suggested by our correspondent of yesterday. These matches are a source of pleasure to many undergraduates, and tend to enlarge the field of general athletics.

A short extract is contributed by Dr. Hale from his forthcoming volume on "Franklin in France." The part played by Franklin in the Asgill affair...
...Santayana in his poem "Two Voices" beautifully expresses the antithesis in the bitter language of the soul that has found nothing but defeat in this world and that looks beyond earth for some sign of hope, and in the resignation of that other soul that finds in every triumph and defeat the fulfilment of its own destiny. The thought is, perhaps, somewhat too deeply hidden by the words, but we do not begrudge the effort to unravel it. Mr. Bates's poem "The Sleeper," develops an original idea. The metre chimes well with the sentiment of the tale; the lines...
