Two great victories for the Crimson have made last Saturday a red-letter day in the athletic annals of Harvard. For five years the Mott Haven cup has remained at Cambridge, and now it has come back to us for the sixth time, having been won by our track athletes in spite of the gross unfairness displayed by the managers of the intercollegiate games. Truly, the faithful work of the past year has met its fitting reward. The result of the game against Princeton was but another proof of the strength of our nine. As the score now stands we can see no reason why the base-ball championship should not come to Harvard. The brilliant record of Captain Winslow's men is such as to make it almost absolutely certain that Harvard is to take the lead at last in this branch of sport. All the games remaining to be played will take place on our own grounds, and if any are lost it will be as much the fault of the college as of the nine. Yet we are far from advising the nine to trust to its past record for future success. It is only an unbroken succession of victories that can assure us the pennant.
