...scene was the western tip of the Seip Mound, near Bainbridge, Ohio. The diggers, Curator Harry C. Shetrone and Director C. W. Mills of the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society (Columbus), and Archaeologist Gerard Fowke, of Maysville, Ky. The remains seemed to be those of royal personages among the ancient Mound Builders-a late Stone Age race that threw, up its totemic burial tumuli from the Rockies to the Atlantic and the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico...

This should indicate that Spalding will see the first service when the Blue series opens in New Haven with Herrmann to start the second game on Soldiers Field...
Today's game with Tufts will break the tie which exists in the games played between the two Universities since the war, each team having won two starts. Coach Nash of the Tufts outfit will send in Shuman for the mound, who is presumably his most powerful pitcher...
