at one time that the name of Brown or Dartmouth drew the crowds on Memorial Day, but Cornell or Pennsylvania or Princeton would draw as well. Saunders, the Cornell pitcher, is a Webster boy, a graduate of Worcester Polytechnic, and when he walked into the box his Worcester and Webster friends took occasion to give him an ovation. Saunders pitched a good game, but his support was poor at critical points. Griffin was in fine form, as indeed were all the Holy Cross players, Fox especially in his new position at short. The best of good feeling characterized the game throughout. Airs and assumptions of superiority, which are alien to democratic sport, were conspicuous by their absence. Cornell got rousing cheers as they drove down the avenue. May they come again next year on Memorial Day. Innings, 9 * I 2 3 4 5 3 Stolen bases-Joyce, Howland.

HOLY CROSS 18, LEHIGH I. Last year, it will be remembered, Lehigh came very near winning from us. Everybody was, therefore, expecting a fine close game, but before many innings had passed it became evident that Lehigh's playing had fallen off considerably or that they were suffering from stiffness in the joints or some such ailment. The game was very uninteresting. Holy Cross played well and hard throughout, whereas the Lehigh men seemed in the beginning to be overpowered by stage fright. June 4. In this game, played at Hanover, N. H., Carney pitched wonderfully well. He gave but three hits. Cook, the Dartmouth pitcher, was batted for a total of thirteen hits. According to the papers the game of Holy Cross was full of snap, while Dartmouth played listlessly. P. S. We learned from the team on their return from Hanover that they were received royally by the Dartmouth boys, that there has been nothing so courteous and cordial in their base ball experience. The old Holy Cross boys, now at Hanover, Carrigan, Murphy (who has become a great society man), Maguire and McVickar, acted as guides through the difficult passes of the Green Mountains. Here's to democratic Dartmouth! HOLY CROSS 3, HARVARD 2. This was another game which seemed to have been arranged with a view to causing nervous excitement in certain portions of the grand stand. No runs were made till the fifth inning when Harvard scored two. In the sixth H. C. tied the score. After this the game proceeded with great possibilities for both teams and great disappointments. In the ninth, with Kenney and Brennan on bases, McTigue drove a hot one to Clark, who threw wild to first, thus allowing Kenney to bring in the winning run. Harvard played twelve men, including two pitchers. For H. C. Griffin pitched his usual steady game. Two-base hit-Loughlin. Three-base hit-McTigue. Stolen bases-Loughlin, Fincke. Sacrifice hits-Linnehan 2, Brennan. Bases on balls-Connor, Brennan, Loughlin. Hit by pitched ball-Clark. Struck out-Fox, Kendall, Clark, Stillman 2, Milne. Passed balls-By Brennan, UmpireSnyder.
