The nine has played its last game before the contest with Yale which will take place Saturday. In the game yesterday by far the most glaring weakness was in the batting, which was little less than ridiculous. The fielding, however, was good, as it has been the whole season. In fact, the work of the nine thus far has been encouraging, and the college confidently expects that its showing at New Haven will be creditable. The college has good reason for this feeling, in that it has seen the men doing unusually hard work this year under unusually capable and energetic coachers. There has been little apparent disposition to inactivity and careless work, such as there was last year. The improvement of late, however, has not been so rapid, and in the points in which the nine is weakest the advancement has been surpassingly and disappointingly slow. The college itself has ill supported the nine by its presence at the games. An opportunity will be afforded Saturday for it to make up its neglect by sending a large and enthusiastic delegation to New Haven.
