Yesterday afternoon the nine had its final practice before the Yale game. The men put considerable snap in their play, and the practice, though short, was unusually sharp and clean. Most of the time was spent in batting, with Hayes and C. J. Paine, Jr., '97, in the box. In the fielding, during the end of the practice, Chandler covered centre field while Burgess was moved to right. In left, Sears took the place of Rand, whose knee is still in such condition that it renders his chances of playing Friday rather doubtful. The nine was coached by C. Smith...

The second, is the fourfold expansion of rowing interest during the past two years, and not merely in interest but in success as well. This combination is certainly encouraging. There seems no lack of developing material to draw from, and that this material is rapidly developing, the past rowing season goes to prove. There were many old Weld men on the class crews, and three members...
...singles, and were in turn brought in by Sedgwick's wild pitch and Burgess's home run. Haughton was then hit by a pitched ball, but went out at second on a choice of plays, when Reid hit to the infield. Reid, however, was retired at second on a short hit by Robinson, who scored on Lewis's single and LeStages's error...
