...heavy hitting recently developed was continued. Greenough, Kernan and Adams made home runs; Maguire made a two base hit and a three-bigger and Fox and Robeson each made a two-base hit. In backing up the bases the Freshmen showed great improvement, but their base-running lacked judgment. The fielding was encouraging, two double plays being made. Mason threw to bases better than in former games. There is still a tendency to watch the ball after hitting it instead of putting all energy into running, At times the team as a whole lacks life...
...success of the trip, however, was by no means as great as the scores indicate. The playing was at all times very loose, and would not have been effective against strong teams. There were a great many errors and instances of poor judgment, which were all productive of runs for the opponents; and the batting was so scattered and unreliable that no team play in this respect was possible. The batting work was not so steady or effective as last year, and several of the positions were fielded weakly. Two places in the outfield still remain unsettled with no candidate...

If this idea seems, for any reason, to be impracticable, I would suggest that those who listened to Messrs. Muller and van Broekhuizen might find it advantageous, before passing judgment on the subject discussed, to read what Conan Doyle has to say on pages 112-114 of his recent book, "The South African War: Its Cause and Conduct," in regard to Mr. van Broekhuizen and the basis of fact for his customary statements. Mr. Doyle's little book, costing only...
