The management of the Junior Baseball Team has received a challenge from the Yale Junior Team for a game to be played this month. It will be remembered that the Ninety-eight Freshman teams of Harvard and Yale met in football and rowing, but that on account of faculty restrictions the Freshman baseball games had to be given up. As Harvard Ninety-eight took the football game and Yale Ninety-eight the boatrace, each after the closest kind of a contest, the proposition to settle the undecided supremacy in baseball is an excellent one, and there is no apparent reason why it should not be carried out.
Of course the class nines, as they were composed two years ago, are now broken up, and some discussion might result as to the eligibility of men for the proposed game. If this should be the case it would be only fair to allow members of the college nine to play on the Harvard Junior team, as there is no such organization at Yale and the class nines absorb all the good material not needed for the University squad.
Such a game was held quite successfully two years ago between the Ninety-six Junior teams of Harvard and Yale. We hope that the Ninety-eight game can also be played off, and with equal success.
Mr. Lathrop held trials for second and third men in the half-mile and 100 yards dash yesterday afternoon. J. B. Dunstan 1900 won the 100 yards dash in 10 2-5s. H. E. Shore '99 was second, and L. E. Redpath '98, third. C. D. Draper 1900 won the half-mile run in 2m. 2 2-5s. E. N. Fenno '97 was second, and Creighton Williams '98, third.
