...Parent would continue as his assistant in charge of the Class baseball teams this spring, and that Claude Davidson would continue to handle the Freshman squad. Parent serving his first season on the Harvard payroll a year ago proved a valuable addition to the coaching staff, the former Red Sox infielder being in a large measure responsible for the development of Sullivan, Ullman and Chase. Davidson has coached the first-year ball tossers for the past four years with more than ordinary success...
...this week through the columns of the H. A. A. News, no mention is made of the game that has been arranged with the Braves.. The Harvard team will play the Braves in Boston on Monday, April 11, in the event that the game scheduled between the Red Sox and Braves for the previous Saturday is not cancelled because of bad weather. This will mark the Crimson's first appearance against a major league club since 1916, when Eddie Mahan succeeded in twirling his nine to a 2 to 0 triumph over the Red Sox, an outfit which later...
...reporters who rose to say good morning to him. Without a word he handed to each a typewritten statement of 2,000 words-his decision in the baseball scandal of having given or taken bribes in 1917.

The baseball commissioner listened with a foxlike expression. He had on a wing collar and he chewed a derelict cigar. Sometimes...
Yesterday an exclusive New York firm, dealing in men's wear, opened, through its advertising columns, new and alluring vistas to the smart (sartorially) student. These merchants have it would seem, sox innumerable--not the common or vulgar type of sox, but something entirely different and revolutionary. To wit:--sox with the name of the wearer's alma mater embroidered, sewn or woven on the sides, where the clock usually runs. Thus, one sits down, adjusts one's trousers, crosses one's legs--and Jo! there is a Yale, Princeton, Michigan or what not man. While the possibilities are interesting...
