SOPHOMORES, II; FRESHMEN. 7.
Bowdoin Sophs Have Won Two Out Of Three
from the Freshmen.

Brunswick, Oct. 3.-(SpeciaD.-Th
final game in the sophomore freshman
base ball series was played, this after
noon, on the Delta. 1t resulted in
victory for the sophomores by a score
of Il to l. The freshmen won the first
game. but lost the second. Considerable
interest was centered about the last
game. A series of games such as these
between the two lower classes every
fall, does much in the way of bringing
out material for the Varsity The fac
ulty recognizes the advantage Of the
series. and gives two half holidays for
the games to be played on.
The best material in the sophomore
class seems to be Havey, Dana,
Shaughnessy. Blanchard and Holt. Ha-
Vey came to Bowdoin this fall from
Wesleyan, where he played first base,
last spring. He will undoubtedly cover
the bag for Bowdoin this spring. Dana,
the captain Of the sophomore team.
had some experience on last year s
Varsity, playing center field good
part Of the season. He should play
strong game. this year. Shaughnessy
also had little playing with the Var
sity. last spring. BY the game he has
put up in the class series il seems prob
able that he will play shortstop when
the call for candidates for the Var
sity is made Blanchard is a find
Last spring ne booked himself to track
athletics and did not try for the ball
team. He plays remarkably strong

fast on the bases. Holt in left field put
up good game this fall. and will
make try for the Varsity in the
spring.
The freshman material does not look
very great. but there are several good
players in the class. Cakes. who cap
tains the team. is a pitcher Of no urdi-
nary ability. He has good control and
quick curves His change Of speed is
deccptive. ana H. uses his head in his
pitching to advantage. He will be
heard from as a college pitcher before
ne gets through his course. Martin.
the little second baseman. plays very
pretty game. He is exceptionally
strong on balls in the air that fall any
where around second base. He Is very
quick and covers good deal of ground.
Allen. the freshman catcher. has done
good work He is rather small but will
make a good player. He will make q
try for the Varsity against blanchard,
the sophomore backstop. Larrab"e
plays a good game in the outfield. lie
seems pretty sure Of fly balls. but IS
weak at the bat.
In today's game the freshmen We're
greatly handicapped by the absence Of
Captain Cakes from the box. He strain
ed a tendon in his arm in the last
game and could not pitch today. He
played very creditably at first base.
Byron pitched a steady game and with
better support would have held the
sOphomOres down to fewer hits and
runs Coffin started in to pitch for the
sophomores. but in the third inning
went to center field and let Johnnie
Green finish the game. Green had good
support and held his opponents down
fairly well. though they seemed to con-
meet with the ball every time. Shaugh-
messy played the best game. Some OF
Of his stops We're difficult chances and
he handled himself well. accepting all
of his eight chances without an error.
Coffin. in center made three unusually
hard running catches. and at the bat
made clean two base hit and sin
gle. Connors and Green did the best
batting for 1908, each getting three
clean singles. Havey got two three
base hits and the other times he was
at bat drove long flies to the outfield.
but Purinton and Smith We're playing
far out and gathered them in. Allen
was the strongest at the bat for the
freshmen. He got a two hagger and
two singles Captain Pratt Of the Var
