Seabright. Out of the Seabright Bowl in New Jersey, annual invitation event, popped several surprises. Nathaniel Niles of Boston upset Clarence Griffin of California and Dean Mathey of Manhattan, both "seeded" in the draw. Lucien E. Williams, droll Chicagoan, overthrew Fritz Mercur of Philadelphia, Longwood Bowl winner; Willard Crocker, Canadian Davis Cup captain; Harvey Snodgrass, of California, No. 9 in national ranking.

A loophole appeared when, with two men on base, a Crimson player overthrew second, but Crocker's fast fielding and beautiful throw to third cut off Stone and ended the rally. The University gained its last two runs in the fifth, Conlon walked, got to second when the ball trickled out of shortstop's glove on a throw from catcher, and crossed the plate as Thayer's hard grounder skimmed the grass along the first base line...
