Dr. Harvws Gift to Peabody
Museum.
Rev. Dr. Burdett Hart, Yale ’42, on
Tuesday of last week, deposited in Pea-
body Museum a cast of the head of the
dodo, taken from the relic in the Ash-
molean Museum at Oxford. There are
but few relics of this extinct bird. In
the British Museum is a leg and in the
Ashmolean Museum at Oxford are a
head and leg. Captain Cook speaks
of the bird as having been very numer-
ous in some of the islands of the South
Seas. Several casts in plaster were
taken a few years ago of the head in-
the Ashmolean Museum, and were de-
posited in the various centers of Eu-
rope. This cast, the last, was given to
Dr. Hart by the Curator of the Ash-
molean Museum, on condition that he
would carry it to America. The gift is
very much appreciated.

NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS.
Betts Academy.
BASEBALL.
The baseball record of Betts Academy
of Stamford, Conn., up to date is as
follows, the score of Betts being given
first in each case:
April 18, Betts vs. Stamford High
school, 17 to 3; April 21, against Co-
lumbia 1903, 9 to 14; April 28, against
Tafts School, 5 to 5; May 5, against
Princeton Preparatory School, 8 to 19;
May 9, against Hillhouse High School,
28 to 1; May 12, against Invincibles of
Fordham, 14 to 3; May 15, against
Yale 1903, 6 to 16; May 16, against Yale
Scrub, 11 to 13; May 23, against New
York Military Academy, 11 to 2; May
30, against Fanwood Athletic Associa-
tion, 14 to 8; ° June 2, against Yale
Scrub, Ir to Io.
On June 6, the Academy plays with
the Pratt Institute of Stamford, and
June 9 with the Yale Scrub Nine at
Stamford. This record shows that the
Nine has played very erratic baseball.
Against the Columbia Freshmen the
worst kind of an exhibition was given.
The Tafts game was a fair exhibition of
good Preparatory School play. The
Tafts were especially effective with their
pitching and won from the Yale Fresh-
man by a score of 5 to 2. On the other
hand, the Yale Freshmen had the Acad-
emy breaking the record in number of
errors, making thirteen in all. At the
same time, the Freshmen were outbatted
by the Betts Nine, who made thirteen
hits. The Yale Scrub team which
played Betts so closely contained a num-
ber of Yale second team players.
It is not an easy thing to secure nine
good baseball players from an academy
of fifty members. Newman, Olcott,
Wolfe and McLuick remained from last
year’s nine, and their work was princi-
pally responsible for such records as
have been made. A coach is very badly
needed. Newman has proved an excel-
lent captain as well as a pitcher. Ol-
cott, at short stop, has shown good head
work.
NOTES.
The following men enter Yale next
Fall from tHe Academy: Charles L.
Howes of Stamford, Conn.; E. R.
Whipple of Whitinville, Mass.; H. E.
Newman of Lakewood, N. J.; Mestre
Olcott of New York City; L. Sola of
Havana, Cuba; Howard J. Dow of
Jamestown, N. Y.
W. A. Todd, Yale ’97, who has been
the instructor in Latin and Greek the
last three years, terminates his instruc-
torship at the close of the school year.
His successor has not as yet been chosen.

names of the members of the baseball
and football teams for fifteen years back,
were placed in the Trophy Room. This
year the rest of the tablets, carrying the
records back to the beginning of ath-
letics of the school, are being made and
will soon be placed in position.
