Latham and Dow accomplished good things in their positions; Leeds did his little well; and Tower so impressed the enemy with his skilful appearance that they did not dare to offer him a chance; at the bat, however, he showed a spirit of willing "sacrifice" that was truly admirable...

Six colleges - Yale, Princeton, and Harvard among them - are to be allowed to contend for this prize, and we presume the intention is to offer the same cup each year.
