The class game between Ninety and Ninety-one yesterday called out an enthusiasm that was delightful to witness. The large and interested crowd that assembled was a marked contrast to the slim attendance which used to discourage class nines in former years. With such a general interest in baseball, as the attendance yesterday indicated, the university nine may look for hearty support, and base ball will take a decided stride in advance. It needs only a continuation of this spirit to give the nine encouragement that will carry it a long way toward victory. The loud and tireless cheering for good plays was the best feature of yesterday's enthusiasm. There were one or two respects in which the spectators went a little too far, as in collecting behind a baseman and beating drums with the obvious intention of rattling him, and in making so much noise that a base-runner could not hear the coaching. Everything, however, was done in a spirit of friendly, not bitter, rivalry, which if it can only be maintained, will be of the greatest benefit to base ball at Harvard.
