Mr. Riordan died in the prime of life, but not before he had won for himself a high place in the esteem of all for ability, integrity and a lofty, generous character.

ATHLETICS.

BASE BALL.

In the opinion of competent judges this year will prove the most successful of all years for Holy Cross in base ball. The team plays with the confidence and earnestness of seasoned players. The weather has smiled on all the great games and the crowds of enthusiasts have continued to come in ever-increasing numbers. It is as yet too early to comment on general results; however, it is gratifying to notice the uniform steadiness and determination which the nine has shown as well in the victorious games as in the few defeats. The defeat by Princeton was a disappointment, but there was no blame to be laid to any one for bad or indifferent playing. The great Hildebrand was in magnificent form, and the Princeton men had the luck with them throughout the game. Base ball authorities up here say that if it were possible to arrange another game with Princeton the result would be different. The Brown game on Patriots' Day drew the old familiar 8000 who took their old places on the grand stand or bleachers or banks and watched in a good-natured way the doubtful struggle, while the Worcester City Band played Wagner's music. In its Commencement number the PURPLE will publish the batting and fielding averages of the members of the team, and will moreover donate a magnificent prize to the one gaining the highest average.

HOLY CROSS 16, TRINITY 4.

Holy Cross defeated Trinity on April 7 by a score of 16 to 4. In the field Holy Cross played an almost perfect game and at the bat hit at will

Carney in particular covered himself with glory. Griffin pitched a good game and showed the form which made him so very reliable last year.

On April 11 Holy Cross scored another victory. For the first five innings Donovan, the Boston College pitcher, was something of a mystery for the home team, but after that he weakened and for Boston College all was over. Griffin pitched for Holy Cross and with the exception of the eighth inning, when Boston College had a run of good luck in batting, pitched his usual game, which is one hard to be improved upon.

HOLY CROSS 4, WESLEYAN 2.

In retaliation for last year's defeat, Holy Cross won from Wesleyan on April 14 by a score of 4 to 2. On both sides the game was magnificently played; the fielding was clean and sharp, in spite of the wind which blew across the diamond. Carney for the first time this season was in the box for Holy Cross, and the game he pitched showed how valuable a man he is. He was well nigh invincible, and except in the second inning showed excellent judgment. Lufkin, for Wesleyan, pitched so well that until towards the close of the game he was a puzzle for Holy Cross.

It is with a feeling of diffidence that we attempt to chronicle this game, for the outcome was most un
