...slower, though reliable, veteran, Ellison has not been able to hit this year, until he regains his batting eye, he will scarcely be able to regain his lost position. In the infield, no changes seem likely for the potent Chauneey has been doing adequate work behind the plate, and though his foul catching is notably weak, he has been throwing well, and his prowess at bat gives him a clear margin over the veteran ReRham...
...Crimson leader's single. He was tagged out when the Pennsylvania right fielder made a beautiful throw in on Todd's hit. In the last inning Chauncey was safe at first on an error, but neither Ellison nor Amsden, two left handed hitters who were sent to the plate by Coach Mitchell in a desperate attempt to tie the score, were able to connect safely...

Ullman probably will start, no matter whom the Red and Blue sends to the rubber, but should Captain Long, a right hander toil for Penn, Chase who bats from the port side of the plate may get in as a pinch hitter. Though Long is one of the best slabsmen in the college ranks, Kruez, stellar fullback on the U. of P. eleven, may be sent in to baffle the Crimson stickmen, as the Cambridge boys have shown in the past that portside twirling is distasteful to them...
