On the whole the season has been all that could be desired, as the team has not only won all its matches, but has gained permanent possession of the Lawrence Harbor cup, which on its arrival will be placed in the trophy room at the Gym- nasium. Captain T. M. Robertson, 1901, picked his players from the following squad of eleven men: T. L. Cheney, 1901; E. M. Byers, 1901; Charles Hitchcock, 1903; L. P.

Plummer, 3903, was defeated by H. H. Hackett, 1900, in the final round, 8-6, 8-6, 4-6 and 6-4. Hackett will play J. A. Allen, 1900 S., the present holder of the champion- ship, the latter part of this week. The standard of play has been gen- erally quite up to that of previous years and an encouraging number of more than fifty entries was made for the tourna- ment, principally from the Sophomore and Freshman classes. But thus far no brilliant players have appeared, nor in fact any who will immediately fill the places of Hackett and Allen, the present runner up and champion, who both graduate in June. The best of the new Perhaps it is and per- haps it isn’t a Straw hat you want; but it’s probably a Knox Hat. men seem to be C. S. Childs, 1901 S.; S. L.

The victory of the Dis- appointments in the interappointment series was deserved as the nine has played consistently throughout. Their battery, Brown and Angus, was a strong one, and received good support. Each member of the team will receive a ban- ner. The following were the scores in the various games: Disappointments Io, High Oration 5; Sigma Xi, 17, Phil- osophicals 5; Disappointments 14, Sig- ma Xi 11; First Colloquies 13, Dis- sertations 8; Second Colloquies 7, First Disputes 3; Second Disputes 20, Ora- tions 11; Second Disputes 11, Second Colloquies 6; Disappointments 15, Sec- ond Disputes 7. Never before has such interest been shown in scrub basebail as this year, and for a greater part of the season the num- ber of games played daily was limited only by the available grounds. Some of the teams played well and had fre- quent matches with outside nines, includ- ing those of the near-by preparatory schools. GOLF STUFF.
