The game last Saturday between
the WOodstOcks and the Dartmouth
Medical college team was the best
of the season, considering the work
Of both clubs. The "rooters" roared
and the spectators generally were
pleased with the way things went.
The home team played an even,
steady game all around, showing up
finely at the bat, Howes and Desc
especially distinguishing themselves
with the stick. The visitors pre-
liminary practice impressed num-
Der of spectators with the idea that
they would win IN walk, but they
remained only to be surprised. Bee
man and Howes were both in fine
form, their work being one of the
features of the game, Beeman again
striking out man or two, with the
bases full, and he kept the visitors
hunting the ball all the way through.
How es has steadily improved in his
trying position, and he put up an al
most faultless game.
