...since the initial contest with the Purple, bot defeats the result of poor playing. On May 15 Springfield nosed out the University by the score of 2-1, while Brown gained an 8-3 victory over Coach Slattery's men after taking advantage of poor Crimson work on the mound and in the field. The University made up for this, however, two days later and found little difficulty in scoring 11 runs on the Brunonians while holding them to four tallies...
...certain whom Coach Barry will start on the mound. Horan, who pitched a steady game in the first Crimson contest is the logical man for the position but according to the Holy Cross management there is a possibility that Tunney will start the contest.

...spite of the ragged fielding it was able to win a 6-2 victory over Rindge Technical School. The first scheduled game of the season was also a victory, but the seconds were forced to the limit to nose out Andover by a 4-3 score. The mound work was the saving feature of the contest, for the schoolboys were taking advantage of the poor Crimson fielding until Brown, unsupported, gave them but few chances to get on base...
