...University batters will probably face their hardest test this afternoon when they go up against Waters, the sensational Fordham twirler. Waters, a former Watertown boy, had won eight straight games before last Saturday, one of them the prediction-breaking defeat of the champion Georgetown nine. But last Saturday his winning streak broke and he bowed to Vermont, a team weak compared to some of his victims. The Green Mountain nine hammered Waters for 11 hits, while Kibbe, the Vermont twirler who struck out 10 University batters, fanned an equal number of Fordham men. Among Waters's victories...

Though committing five errors to their opponents' none, the visitors made up by extra heavy hitting and clever base-running...
Saturday, Meany, the lanky Columbia twirler who held the University to four runs, was the cause of the Pennsylvanians' defeat, holding them to five hits and striking out ten men. Columbia scored her lone run with the aid of a costly error by Yates at first. Besides this miss Pennsylvania committed three others, Schriver one and Sheffey...
HANOVER, N. H., JUNE 4.--Dartmouth defeated Tufts 6 to 5 in a loosely played game here this afternoon which was called in the sixeh to allow the Dartmouth nine to catch a train. Neither twirler was effective, both teams hitting freely. But the Green bunched its hits where they were needed to push across the runs...
