TALE: ALUMNI WEN KLY
New Haven Country Club Team was
defeated 26 to 0, on their own links;
while on-the following Wednesday, May
23, in the return match, they suffered
a heavier defeat, by 39 holes to 3. 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.

University Tennis Tournament.
The annual University tennis tourna-
ment which has been in progress for
some weeks, was practically finished last
Saturday, June 9, when H. A. 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

men seem to be C. S. Childs, 1901 S.;
S. L. Russell, 1902 S., who at one time
held the Northwestern Championship,
and H. A. Plummer, 1903, who reached
the final round.

rectly to the games to be held in Paris

son, 1900, Captain of the Yale Track

man, 1902, will enter the 220 and 440-
yard dashes, and Richard Sheldon, ex-
98 S., will compete in the weight events.

Mr. Decrow’s Score Book.
A baseball score book differing in
several important details from the ones
now in use has been invented and copy-
righted by John W. Decrow, 1900. ‘The
book is meant to fit the pocket and the
leaf space, though small, has been ar-
ranged so ingeniously that there is quite
as much room left for entering the plays
as is found in the official score books.

Interappointment Baseball,
The Record interappointment base-
ball teams finished an unusually success-
ful season, Wednesday, June 6, when the
Disappointment team defeated the Sec-
ond Disputes in the final game of the
series, 15 to 7. 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.
