TEAM IN CONTEST WITH PENN.

With one 4 to 0 victory over the Red and Blue nine safely stored away, the University baseball team will face Pennsylvania in the final contest of a two-game series on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Coach Mitchell will probably select Mahan to do the slab work for the home team, as the latter was exceedingly effective against the Quakers in the first game, allowing only four scattered hits and whiffing eleven batsmen. Spielman, the opposing team's premier twirler, will doubtless go in the box for the visitors. The latter has shouldered the major portion of the mound-work for his team this season and with few exceptions has succeeded in coming out on the long end of the score.

Pennsylvania comes to Cambridge in prime condition after three of its hardest games. During the past ten days the team has defeated Cornell, 5 to 3, in a hotly contested fifteen-inning fracas, lowned Yale, 3 to 0, but lost to the Tigers, 7 to 2, after a twelve-inning battle. In each of these games the Philadelphia aggregation displayed unusual ability in all departments of the game. Berry, McNichol and Bennis have been sharing the Red and Blue slugging honors so far this season, and the team as a whole has shown good hitting ability when runs were needed. The fielding has, however, been only fair.

The University nine is entering on the last lap of its schedule with only six more contests yet to be decided. After today's game it has still to meet Tufts, Boston College, and Yale. The second game with the team from Newton has been arranged to take the place of the third Princeton contest, which was made unnecessary by the University's consecutive victories. It will be played next Thursday at University Heights. The team's record now stands with 19 victories, three defeats, and one tie; a highly creditable showing
