In the first outside practice game of the season, the University nine defeated the South Boston All-Stars by a score of 9 to 8. It was a loosely played game, but the outcome was in constant doubt until the end of the ninth inning, when Meehan brought in the winning run. Emmons and Meehan divided the batting honors, each of them making four hits and Emmons a sacrifice besides which gave him a batting average for the game of 1,000. Sullivan, the All-Star pitcher, played a good all-around game.

The next game will be on Friday with a semi-professional team from Worcester. Yesterday there was also a scrub game between the second University team and the Freshmen.
