...CRIMSON baseball team will administer its annual drubbing to the Lampoon aggregation of ball-muffers, on the Freshman Diamond, this afternoon, at 4 o'clock sharp. This bunch of pseudo-literary bunco-steerers, whose motto is "millions from advertisements, but not one line of humor," have profited in their business to such a degree that they were able to offer Hans Wagner a fabulous sum to play for them. Although he refused, being unwilling to associate with such an unscrupulous body, these wielders of the shears and paste-pot will undoubtedly pull of some equally delicate bit of delicious humor...
Though the Freshmen have played but six regular games, the team has developed rapidly under Coach C. D. Moss '09. Of the games played four have been won, one tied, an 11-inning game with Hotchkiss at Lakeville, and one lost. Throughout the season the fielding has been good, especially that of the infield in spite of the fact that the team-play has been somewhat hampered by an injury to Kennedy, the regular first baseman. The batting, particularly that of Conant and Potter has been far above the general average of a Freshman team, though it is erratic...
Hicks was a little wild at first and gave five bases on balls, but he soon steadied and Princeton failed to make a single hit off his delivery. Cunningham who started the game in the box for Princeton was effective for two innings. Then three hits in succession, one a three-bagger, by Hicks, brought in two runs. Aronson opened the fourth inning with another three-base hit, and scored on Dana's single. When the fifth began, White was seen in Cunningham's place, and the latter retired to right field. White was only a slight improvement, and allowed...
...bunt to MacLaughlin, who made a beautiful stop and Dillon was forced at second. Ballin promptly stole, second on Currier's high throw, and Simons's wonderful catch was the only thing that prevented his taking another base. Hicks then passed Dawson, and Sides was at bat with only one out. A foul fly to Briggs, however, changed the aspect, and Princeton's hopes, were ended when Harvey made a fast play off Warwick's line...
...second Harvard also retired in order, and Briggs opened the third with a fly to right. Then the hitting began. Simons singled, and scored when Hicks followed with a splendid drive to deep left. The ball rolled far beyond the fielder, and Hicks made third easily. Lanigan placed one just over second base, and Hicks trotted home with the second run. Lanigan took second on a wild pitch, but remained there, as Harvey struck out, and Currier hit to short. In the same inning Princeton could not advance two men who were on base, Myers was safe at first when...
