Some interesting practice was done by Mott Haven men on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. J. P. Lee again broke the world's record for the 220 yds. low hurdle race. Fearing ran down the stretch beside the hurdles and set the pace. The time for the first half of the distance was 12 1-5 secs., and the final time 24 4-5 secs., breaking the former record, made by Lee at the intercollegiate games last year, by nine-twentieths of a second. Lee ran in beautiful form and found time to speak on the way to the time keeper...
...varsity nine played another good game on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon. It differed from Monday's in that our team hit the opposing pitcher unmercifully. Seven hits for a total of twelve bases in the first inning was a pace too hot to be kept up, but sixteen hits for a total of twenty five bases in six innings was not bad. After the sixth inning a new pitcher was put in for Woonsocket, and Harvard made no more hits. Bates was very effective except in the seventh inning. He was hit hard in the ankle by a tremendous drive...
...third place. The two preliminary heats in the 2 mile bicycle race were each ridden by two Harvard men against one Yale man. In the first, Davis and O. B. Hawes of Harvard, and W. B. Wade of Yale, did very slow work as nobody wanted to set the pace. The time for the first quarter was 1 min, 12 sec. The men started along at last and the heat was won by Davis in 6 min., 57 4-4 sec., with Hawes second. The second heat was won by Taylor in 6 min., 18 1-2 seconds., with Pratt...
...from the track. There was considerable uncertainty about this race, as Ellsworth of Yale was almost an unknown quantity. He had done well last year and it was rumored that he had had much harder training this year than ever before. Nichols and Carr set a very hot pace and Nichols plowed through the mud in the fast time of 4 min., 35 4-5 sec., taking first place. Ellsworth took second place, although Carr, who won third, made him run pretty hard for it. Lowell, who, after his fine work in the University games two weeks ago, was expected...
...court. Coues won the next set, however, 6-4, by remarkable cross-court and sideline work. This was the most hotly contested and interesting set of the day and abounded in fast, accurate placing and brilliant returns. For the first three games of the last set Coues set a pace too hot for Herrick to hold, and apparently had the set hands down, but Herrick took the next two games by remarkably clever work and, after dropping one more game to Coues, won the last four and the set easily, Coues losing all his previous fine form, and knocking ball...
