EVERY one who interests himself at all in our national game cannot fail to be well pleased with the brilliant success achieved by our Nine during the past week. It is somewhat remarkable that one of the very best games played by the Nine for several years should have been played with the same club with which was made the most extraordinary score on record. The game on Thursday week with the Manchester nine displayed some of the fine qualities that have been developed in our men by the careful training of the winter. From the many base hits made...

...plans of the new Gymnasium, which we hoped to have published this week, have not been entirely completed. The architects did not receive the proposals of contractors for the work until a day or two ago, and Mr. Hemenway must be consulted before any of these proposals can be accepted. If the estimates of the cost of putting up the building, in accordance with the present plan, prove satisfactory, the contractors will begin at once. If, on the other hand, it is found necessary to make decided changes in the design, work will be delayed several weeks. While...
...pleased to announce in our columns this week the excellent record which our Nine has made during vacation. Three victories have been gained, and a single defeat sustained, in a match with a strong professional team, possessing one of the finest pitchers in the country; in this game, moreover, the Nine made but three errors. During the past week the new men have filled their positions with credit, and the veterans have maintained their well-earned reputations of last year. It is to be hoped that a better support will be given to the Nine this spring, especially when games...
