WINS SERIES QUITE HANDILY.

Three out of four is Holy Cross
record in the Brown series.
The students Of Brown heartily con-
cur in the sentiment expressed by the
people of the United States in the ma
tional election that 16 to is an unfor-
tunate ratio either for ball team or
for the ratio of coinage of currency.
That was the score of yesterdays
game between Holy Cross and Brown,
the last in the series of which Holy
Cross has won three. 1t was an excel
lent victory though an. easy one, and
puts bright polish on the season so
replete with victories.
The students at Holy Cross upon the
receipt Of the news took occasion to
manifest their feelings in almost every
conceivable manner. Fireworks played
a prominent part in the celebration of
the victory by the students and Mt st.
James was ablaze with lights, skyrock-
cts, Roman candles and red fire-there
would have been purple fire if it could
have been obtained. On their return the
ball players were accorded rousing
reception and escorted from the cars at
the foot Of the hill to the college build
ings, where supper was served, of which
all partook.
Capt. Sedgwick, Browns star twirler,
was not in the box yesterday, and Holy
Cross took advantage of the opportun-
ity offered and batted Wheeler out of
the box in the sixth inning and Wash
burn was substituted, but Jared little
better. Nineteen hits with total of 2S,
with almost perfect fielding, gave Holy
Cross an easy victory. Griffin pitched a
steady game and kept Browns IL hits
well scattered. Brown fielded in poor
form, making 10 errors during the game.
