The Freshmen won the interclass baseball championship yesterday afternoon, defeating the Seniors in an exciting game on Soldiers Field by the score of 8 to 3. This is the first time since 1900 that the championship has been won by the Freshmen.

The loss of the game by the Seniors was due partly to the weak pitching of Alexander in the fourth inning, and partly to the consistently good playing of the Freshmen throughout the game. Their hits were opportune and well-placed, their fielding was fast and accurate, and they showed good judgment in running bases. Brennan pitched creditably and Dexter, at third base, played his usual strong game. Giles's catch of a difficult fly to left field in the seventh inning was a feature of the game.
