BASEBALL GAMES.
May 5, Holy Cross defeated Andover
5 to 4 in ten innings. May 9, in a
long-drawn-out and uninteresting game,
Andover defeated Amherst, 13 to 7.
On the 11th, Yale shut the home team
out without a run. The score was 6 to
o. Andover put up a far better game
than a year ago. There was no score
till the sixth inning, and aside from
this inning, the game was one of clean,
fast baseball in the field, although little
strength was shown at the bat by either
team. Andover got only four hits off
Cook, and only three men reached sec-
ond base, but in the field the home
team kept pace with Yale until the vic-
tory had been won. Yale scored five
in the sixth and one in the seventh.
May 12, Boston College defeated An-
dover 11 to 8 in a twelve-inning game.
Reed took Matthews’ place at short-
stop. For Andover, Tobin, Lanigan
and Williams played the best.
May 16, Andover easily defeated the
University of Maine with the score
12 tOs,5. :
Stevens and Lanigan are doing all the
pitching. Mains, last year’s second
pitcher, is laid up with inflammatory
rheumatism and will be able to do lit-
tle if any work this season. It is prob-
able that there will be no Lawrenceville
game.
TRACK MEET.
The annual Spring track meet was
held Thursday, May 17. One school
record was broken. In the shotput, R.
P. Kinney, 1902, beat J. H. Finley's
Ninety-Seven record by 9 inches,
putting it 38 feet 3% inches. In the
too and 220-yards dash, W. A. Schick,
1902, equaled the school record of 10%
seconds and 22% seconds respectively.
In the quarter-mile, Captain Crawford
easily won in 53 seconds, the school
record.
The Class. of 1902 carried off the cup
with 34 points. Nineteen Hundred
scored 29 points; 1903, 22 points, and
1QO01, «1b + poimts.
MEANS PRIZE CONTEST.
Thursday evening, May 17, the thirty-
third annual Means prize contest was
held before a large audience, including —
the students of Abbott Academy. The
prizes were awarded as follows: First
prize, William Johnson Colby, East
Weymouth, Mass., “American Senti-
mentality’; second prize, Joseph Stowe
Seabury, Wellesley Hills, Mass.,
“Birds and Bird Study”; third prize,
Fred Lewis Collins, Andover, ‘The
Future of the Slavonic Race.” Several
songs were sung by W. D. Tyler, 1900,
of New Haven, Conn. The judges
were: Mr. Edward S. Riley and Mr.
Ernest C. Jewell of the Lawrence High
School, and Rev. Wm. P. Fisher of
Andover.
NOTES.
Rev. C. H. Oliphant of Methuen will
preach the baccalaureate sermon, June
27. .
It is practically certain that Latin
Commons will be torn down this Sum-
mer. To provide for the Commons
students, the trustees propose to rent
Phillips Hall, one of the dormitories
belonging to the Theological Seminary.
Latin Commons has seen over seventy
years of service, and its removal will
make a great change in the landscape.
The ground for the new campus, for
which the money was raised last year,
has been allotted by the trustees, and
work has been begun on it. The field
will be 500 by 470 feet, and will com-
prise a football ground and a baseball
diamond. It is located just south of
the running track.
The Dramatic Club is preparing for
a minstrel show to be given the night
before the Exeter baseball game, June
8, for the benefit of the Athletic Asso-
ciation.
Abel Wilder Brown, Football Cap-
tain, has been elected President of the
Class of 1901 in place of Andrew Par-
ker, resigned.
The matter of an Andover-Exeter de-
bate is being agitated by the debating
societies and the Phillipian, but it is
probable that there will be none, as the.
faculties of both institutions are op-
posed to it. Principal Bancroft says
it would be simply a contest between
the respective coaches of the sides.
