...average of .571 on eight hits in 14 at bat. He was second to Harvard's Ulysses Lupien last year. Polzer also has batted in mot runs, ten, and with a teammate, Ronnie Stillman, has scored the most runs, seven, as well as having gained most total bases, 13. Another Cornellian, Walter Scholl, leads in the competition for the Princeton A. A. Cup, emblematic of league base-stealing championship...

The French and Spanish fleets then feinted an attack on the West Indies to draw Nelson's fleet from the Channel.
