...freshman baseball squad. At present, the team is in great need of a regular coach. Paine '94 takes charge of the coaching as often as he can be spared from the 'varsity, but when there is no one on the field in charge, the practice is apt to be listless and poor.

At the outset the play was anything but encouraging. The men all played in a listless half-hearted way, until the coaches braced them up thoroughly.

The centre men break through fairly well...

...perfect, not so warm as to make the playing listless and not so cold that spectators could not thoroughly enjoy every moment of the play. The seating arrangements could not have been made better. One took real enjoyment in the thought that he need not hurry to the game in order to get a seat, while the confusion saved and the satisfaction given to everybody, must have repaid the management for their care and inconvenience in the sale of tickets.
