...freshman nine played its first game away from Cambridge on Saturday. The showing made both at the bat and in the field is so far far from encouraging. This season the ninety-two nine has done little deserving of praise. To be sure there has been but little chance to play good practice games, but this fact is not sufficiently accountable for the circumstance that the present freshman nine seems far below the average freshman nines.

The work of the nine agains professionals was, to say the least, discouraging, although, when we take into consideration all the disadvantages under which the nine played, not so unsatisfactory as many seem to think. The infield is very weak and the team as a whole bat very poorly, The great advantage of these professional games is to bring out the weak...
