Although there have been no games with outside teams this fall, Coach Slattery is very well pleased with the material which he has found. R. G. Norris '24, a pinch hitter of last year's squad, has shown particularly good form.

It was not until its game with the Princeton Freshmen last Saturday, however, that the nine showed its strength in a pinch by gaining a hard-earned victory in a ten inning contest, the outcome of which was continually in doubt. In the eighth inning, the Tigers were ahead, 6 to 2, when Exeter bunched her hits, bringing in four runs and tying the score. In the first of the tenth...
