...carefully, but failed to find any with the blue and white stripes, and then said to me, "I guess the Columbia ball must have been mislaid." Then the students rose up and cheered and applauded most vociferously their loved President, who in the midst of his studies hadn't forgotten the fact that Harvard hadn't been able to win a base-ball game from his students. - N.

Last year it won the college championship, and the national championship; but in the excitement of the other victories, then of almost daily occurrence, these victories, equally creditable as those of the older teams, was forgotten. The team leaves Cambridge on Tuesday to play its championship games in New York; it is in need of money. If a large audience does not assemble this afternoon and pay the small sum asked for admission, the team may well feel discouraged, and the college ashamed...
