...verse of the number aside from "The Jester" certainly belies the title of the latter. It is all very serious, not to say solemn. In "The Modern World," Mr. Wheelock dreams of a day "when Socialism, like another Christ, shall shatter the old world," and in an "Epilogue" his spirit reels, "Drunk with a defiance stronger than the tyranny of death!" In Mr. Miller's "The Aged Poet's Soliloquy" a bard of seventy-five long years grieves that men shall never know the richer veins of gold that lay below the inmost marvel of his poet's heart...
Hicks and Mansfield both pitched good ball, the former allowing six hits and the latter four. Hicks had the most strikeouts to his credit, but generally did not control the batters as well as Mansfield. He had a tendency to give them a number of balls at the outset and then be forced to put straight ones over which they could hit. Except in the sixth inning, when two two-baggers came in succession, the hits were well scattered...
Leonard began the third inning by hitting a slow grounder to Barry. The latter came in fast and made a very swift low throw which bounded into the grandstand. Leonard almost had the ball beaten at first and came home on the play. Holy Cross tied the score in the fourth when, with two out, Carney hit over Aronson's head for a home run. Aronson misjudged the ball, and instead of running back, came in and jumped for it, but missed it by three feet...
...score in ten innings, but at Cambridge the result was exactly reversed, when Harvard with Hartford pitching against Deshon won in the tenth, 1 to 0. Gable has developed into a very good pitcher with the coaching of Deshon, but nevertheless does not come up to the latter's standard. Three of last year's regular players are together again, Captain Heilman, shortstop; Ebeling, right field; and Reiber, second base. Watson, who played at first last year, is slightly off form, and Williams will probably play in that position. Fulton was substitute in last year's outfield and has been...
...favorably with last year's team. An unsuccessful Southern trip was followed by a slight brace, when three games were won in succession, but since then Cornell has been defeated by Penn State, 4 to 2; by Princeton, 5 to 4; and by Pennsylvania, 11 to 5. In the latter game the team went to pieces, making ten errors, but in the Princeton game a two-run lead was maintained till the eighth, when Princeton won on a batting rally. Victories have recently been scored over Michigan, 3 to 2, in 16 innings, and over the strong Williams nine...
