The base-ball victory of Saturday last was such as to make the college justly proud of its representative team. To the 'varsity nine we give our heartiest congratulations on their first victory in the championship contests. The score of the game on another page speaks for the kind of work that the men did at Providence more forcibly than anything we can say. It is gratifying to the college to have the nine "find the ball" thus early in the season, and it is everybody's hope that what has been so truly found will not be lost for the next two months.

But to the defeated freshmen we can only say that to defeat Yale they must play a far better game than they played with the Latin School. They need to give hand and head to their practice, which last Saturday seemed to lack both, and every moment possible must be used. Eighty-nine has good material, and ought to have a good nine. But any team, to be successful, must have its members working together. In this respect, we think the freshman nine has been signally lacking.
