HOLY CROSS GAME TODAY

The University baseball team will play Holy Cross on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the second game of the series. In the first game, played at Worcester on April 30, Holy Cross won by a score of 3 to 1. The University team was quite unable to master Spring's pitching and succeeded in making only two singles and a scratch hit. Holy Cross on the other hand made six hits, three of which were bunched in one inning and resulted in two runs. On May 21 Yale defeated Holy Cross by a score of 7 to 5 in a game in which Holy Cross led for five innings, making nine hits against McKay and scoring five runs to one. In the last of the fifth inning Yale made five runs, and thereafter prevented Holy Cross from scoring. On May 23 Holy Cross defeated Dartmouth, 8 to 1, mainly through the seven errors made by Dartmouth, and a week later was defeated by the same team, 9 to 6, in a game characterized by heavy hitting on both sides, and by the weak fielding of the Holy Cross team. On May 26 the team defeated Georgetown by the score of 6 to 5 in a game won in the ninth inning, when with two men out Stankard made a hit which scored men from second and third. The team lost to Fordham on May 28, 3 to 0, and to Williams on Wednesday, 11 to 5.

The University team was given fairly hard practice yesterday afternoon. The work was sharp and fast, particularly that of the infield, and showed a great improvement over the listlessness displayed in the Carlisle game on Wednesday.

Coburn will pitch this afternoon and Stephenson will catch. Carr, who has been out of the game for several days on a account of an injured hand, took part in the practice yesterday and will play this afternoon.

Carr, 3b.  2b., Devlin Stephenson, c.  r.f., Skelly Randall, 1b.  c., Noonan Matthews, s.s.  s.s., Stankard Fischel, l.f.  l.f., Hoey McCarty, c.f.  1b., Flynn Greenough, r.f.  c.f., McKeon Kernan, 2b.  3b., Ennis Coburn, p.  p., Spring
