...Yale Freshmen have refused to play our Freshman Nine unless they are allowed to take Sheffield S. S. Freshman also. Our Academic Freshman Nine have sent a second challenge, offering to play against their University Freshman Nine on any grounds in Massachusetts or Connecticut, and giving them a liberal share of gate-money if they will play on the 17th.
