...with a much larger squad than usual. Before the spring recess the squad had been cut down to seventeen and with these men outdoor work was begun. A great disadvantage here has been that the team has had no crease and has been obliged to resort to a practice wicket with a matting placed in front of the batsman. Despite this handicap, however, the men have improved consistently from the start. In bowling, Bradley is the steadiest man and has downed the most wickets, though Drinkwater and Wilder can alro be relied upon for effective work. The non-appearance...
...Harvard. He showed perfect form, not giving a chance, while his hitting was clean and accurate. St. Paul's main strength lay in the batting of the masters who played on the team, their combined scores being 172. Bradley's bowling was excellent, considering the fact that the wicket was distinctly favorable to the batsman. St. Paul's went to bat first, and when their last wicket was downed there was only an hour and a half for Harvard's innings. When stumps were drawn at 5.45 only three of Harvard's wickets had fallen...

With eight wickets down for but 16 runs, Brockton netted 33 points on the next two stands. Harvard. Drinkwater, l.h.w. Orton, 2 Fairweather, b. Orton, 0 MacNeill, b. Orton, 1 Murray, c. & b. Orton...

Lowry '00, captain of Haverford's '99 team, an excellent batsman and wicket-keeper. A second team will probably be formed shortly, which will play three or four games with neighboring teams...
Last year the team was most kindly allowed the use of the B. A. A. wicket grounds at Longwood, but this year as it will be impossible to play there, the Athletic Committee has granted Soldiers 'Varsity football field for the spring practice. Since the grounds are as a whole very level, although at present rather cut up, it should be possible with rolling to develop a very fair crease, certainly a spot large enough for practice...
