...spite of the weakness in the box shown on Saturday, it looks as if Yale would have a strong staff of pitchers. Besides Robertson and Garvan, who pitched last year, there are Cook and Sharpe. The latter has developed into a remarkable left-handed pitcher. At present the weakest places on the team are shortstop and second base, left vacant by Camp and Quinby. In J. T.

"The Sensation of Rickerts" is amusing and well handled, though a bit overdrawn here and there; and "His Dress Suit" is a happy-go-lucky, naturally told...
