...CRIMSON will defeat the Lampoons in baseball on Holmes Field this afternoon between 3 o'clock and dark. Though an attempt will be made to start the game at 3 o'clock, it will probably be necessary to allow the Lampoon$ time to elect a few new infield "editors" before beginning. They have already showed some ability in this way, and this year have found a new method for their annual infraction of the dual games rules.

In the field the work was very inaccurate and slow, and the men showed nervousness in handling infield hits. One fast and brilliant play took place in the sixth inning, when McGrath was caught between third base and the plate on Cregg's steal of second...
