The resignation of Mr. George D. Pettee, Registrar of Andover, to take effect at the close of the present term, and his acceptance of the position of Principal of the University School of Cleveland, was briefly announced in the last issue. The University School was founded ten years ago, is heavily en- dowed and has an excellent name. Mr. Pettee’s loss will be severely felt at Andover. He has been connected with the School, including his time as stu- dent, for sixteen years. On his gradua- tion from Yale in 1887, he was called to Andover as Instructor in Mathematics. Fight years ago he was made Registrar and has held that position, in connection with his instructorship, ever since. He holds an M.A. from Yale, where he has done post graduate work in Economics. Three years ago he went abroad for a year’s study at Oxford and Paris. He published a text-book on Plane Geome- try in 1896. At Yale Mr. .Pettee was a member of the Track Team. He has been very influential and helpful in An- dover athletics and was largely instru- mental in securing the present running track. In 1889 the students recognized his work for athletics by presenting him with a watch. | The class baseball game was scheduled for Saturday, May 109, but was post- poned till the following Monday on account of the rain. The score was 3 to 3 at the end of the fourth inning, when the game was suspended owing to a shower. It was an interesting con- test. The players, considering the diffi- culties under which they played, covered themselves with glory, and were covered to a considerable extent with mud, flour, omelette and other things. One ’or supporter had a stocking filled with a pot-pourri of such things, which he used very effectively on the base-runners of the opposing side. In the rushes the honors were about equal. » Wednesday, May 23, Andover put a patched-up team in the field and suffered defeat at the hands of the Harvard second team, by a score of 9 to 4. Stevens, Tobin and Rinehart, three of Andover’s strongest players, were in- capacitated by poor scholarship. Brown was shifted from !eft field to the pitcher’s box and was batted for thirteen hits. Parker, captain of the 1902 team, was used on third and his fielding was good. Stoddard on first played a fairly good game. | > ow ~< i et St. Mark’s. BASEBALL. The baseball season was begun well and the first four games were won easily; the work of the team then fell off decidedly and at present is far from what it should be. men are good and occasionally play to- gether in a way that shows they could form an excellent school team, but they Individually the. are erratic and no sure reliance can be placed in any of them. This is espec- ially true in batting. The material is undoubtedly: good, and, having profited by experience, can develop into a strong nine. The games played since the last report in the WEEKLY have resulted as follows: St. Mark’s 12, Cushing Aca- demy 4; St. Mark’s 3, Dean Academy 0; St. Mark’s 5, Thayer Academy 10; St. Mark’s 6, Natick High 10; St. Mark’s 14, Cochichnate 3; St. Mark’s 2, Har- vard Freshman 11. The season will be closed by a game with Hotchkiss School, June 5. ceed On May 21 a close and exciting game was played between.St. Mark’s and the Harvard Senior Nine, resulting in a victory for St. Mark’s, score 5 to 3. -St. Mark’s put up the best exhibition — of baseball seen here this year, playing with snap and dash, and showing un- usual steadiness at critical times. Twice the Seniors had bases filled and no one out, but by sharp fielding were retired without being able to score. The annual game between St. Mark’s and Groton was played at Groton, May 26, and resulted in a victory for Groton, 7 to 6. Both teams played poorly, al- though the battery work on each side was excellent, Hutchinson of St. Mark’s being especially effective in tight places. Had his team given him proper support, the result would have been different. Twelxye innings were necessary to decide the game. Schools. YALE” MEDICAL SCHOOE 88th Annual Session, Oct. 4, 1900.
