Tomorrow the varsity again plays the
providence league team. The Brown men
nave been unfortunate in their schedule
so far this season, as two of her home
games had TO be called off on account
OF Yale. The Trinity and Amherst teams
both came here on consecutive Wednes-
days, but had to go back without play
Ing. Consequently the only home game
Brown has had was last Saturday with
the professionals. 1t is safe to say that
Providence has rarely put up a worse
game than last Saturdays. and the col
lege nine won easily.
Tomorrow's game ought to be much
closer although neither team has had
enough chance for practice this week.
Harry Hatch will probably pitch for the
college; II not, Mike Lynch will go into
the box. The game begins at $3.50, and
although IL is to be played at Adelaide
park, IL Is a home game for Brown and
Brown association season tickets will
therefore admit.
James II. Cooper, 0i, the colored
sprinter who is a very promising track
man, has left Brown, and has entered
Amherst That college cannot enter him
in the New England Intercollegiate meet,
but he will be able to compete for Am
herst in her minor meets.

Lucian Sharpe is progressing rapidly.
The steel girders are already I'm place

original gallerey. The gallery must also
be lowered to accommodate the now or
gan, and all must be done with the great !
est speed in order TO have the organ |
ready for use on Commencement week
Last night the whist tournament TO de- |
eide the team TO play Columbia was
started. The play was held at the Provi- |
ience Whist club, so that the competi-
tors might practice under the eyes OF ex- |
perts.
Princeton has sent Brown a challenge /
10 play chess but Il Is very improbable I
hat the home college will accept, as her
hess players are, with one exception.
