Ncrld Of 3ports.

The Brown team ran up against "A
pretty stIff proposition at Andrews field
yesterday afternoon IN the shape or the
ball nine representing. Andover, and al
though the team from the Massachusetts
''prep' school was defeated. they made IL
evident 10 the wearers of the brown and
white that they were worthy OF their
steel and incidentally Knocked of several
degrees oI exalted confidence which have
generated since the Trinity game.
Despite the numerous errors both teams
played well in the field. the snappy work
of the prep school aggregation being
perhaps the more noticeable. At the bat,
while tho Brown team did not make
many hits, they were able TO drive the
ball out OF the lot when hits we're needed
and IL was very evident 20 the spectators
that IL the Brown nine had shaken on
that lethargic feeling they would have
showed the Andover team under by
big score.
They did not put any life into the
game, which was due no doubt to the
poor weather. and the contest Jagged
from start 10 finish.
Andover sprung surprise on the Brown
team when they put Campbell on the
slab in tho fifth inning, and the way he
shot the sphere around the necks OF
Browns supposedly heavy hitters was
certainly a revelation. Campbell has all
the ear marks OF varsity pitcher and
will undoubtedly make a name for him
self before the season ends. He has ter
rife speed. which with sharp curves and
beautiful control will make him a valua-
school.
Andover's star athlete, Captain Mat
thews. who has played for four years at
shortstop on the team. played a remarka-
bly, fast game. and In tho third inning
with three men on bases drove terrific
line hit over second base. scoring all
three men and landing on third base,
Matthews, who is a 1o-second man, trav-
eled around the bases IN a way that
made the Brown runners look like an or
dnary truck equine.
Washburn was on the slab for Brown
for the first time this season and he was
decidedly chary OF letting out his great
wing. While he pushed his sharp curves
over the plate. he did not work up any
speed and together with his poor con-
troll OF the slippery ball made Andovers
runs possible. Whittemore threw well 10
second. but the feature OF his work was
his magnificent backstopping. Time and
time again he saved Washburn from Wild
pitches by phenomenal stops. was con-
stantly on the alert and energetically
coached the entire team, all through
the contest The score to does not
show the true merits OF the teams. The
summary.
