The freshmen proved equal to the occasion yesterday afternoon in the final championship game, and won by a score of six to three. There were two errors in all, but they were for the most part excusable, and considering the continual uproar the game was well played. The juniors played a little the stronger fielding game, but could not bat Ames at all. Clark, however, had a decidedly off day behind the bat, and failed to do what should be expected of him. This accounts for the eleven stolen bases made by the freshmen.
The juniors made two pretty double plays that were loudly applauded. Linfield made two errors, but both of them were excusable. He continued to play his usual strong game. The freshmen made their runs one at a time, except in the eighth when they made two. The juniors were first to bat and at the close of the first half of the eighth the score was 4 to 8 for the freshmen, with a good chance for Ninety-four. But the freshmen man. aged to pile up two more runs on hits by Whittemore and Griffin and poor work by Clark behind the bat. The juniors failed to score in the ninth, and the game went to Ninety-six.
The close of the game was the signal for a regular pandemonium among the freshmen. Each man in the nine was lifted to the shoulders of his particular admirers, and the whole class paraded about the yard headed by a brass band. The enthusiasm of Ninety-six is refreshing. Yesterday's affair shows that the class are capable of patriotic spirit, and it behooves them to continue in their loyalty, and support their crew as well.
The score:
FRESHMEN.
