...October shoot for the Bancroft cup, held by the Gun Club yesterday afternoon at its grounds on Soldiers Field, was won by H. H. Bartlett sL., who broke 18 out of 20 birds thrown at unknown angles.

Brennan pitched a fairly creditable game for the Freshmen but was unsteady in the first few innings, hitting three-batsmen, and giving two bases...

In the infield the men are inclined to be erratic, especially in the handling of thrown balls, while the out-fielders are slow in starting and lack confidence. In batting, the men show a little better form, and have learned to time the ball fairly well...
