the Grays INDUCED In was never seen be-
fore this season and will come but a few
times more between this and the coming
OF the frost OF fall
The game was really the easiest pick
ing that the Grays have had. and the way
they landed on Britton and his donations
over the plate was a caution. They never
seemed TO weary OF meeting the ball,
making IS safe hits. netting IL runs. The
visitors could only score four talhes in
the course Of the game.
Almost every man on the team took
several whacks at the ball. and the most
OF the men distinguished themselves,
Dunn and Brode doing the best work
with the stick
Beside the vigorous swatting fest in
dulged in, the Grays gave fine exhibition
in the field, but one error being charged
TO them out OF 40 chances. Rock at
shortstop particularly distinguished him
self by several fine stops and throws,
while Manager Dunn at third base was a
tower OF strength.

In the fourth the locals fell on Britton
and banged out four runs, with the aid

was forced at second by Ball.
The fourth was productive OF three

final quartet OF runs, making a total OF II.
Norwich did not get a man TO first until
the fifth inning, when the first two bat
ters singled. AT the beginning OF the
sixth Kellogg replaced Nops in the box.
AS usual Kellogg lacked control and by
hitting n batter. passing two men and
allowing two singles he permitted the
visitors 10 send in four tallies, Aubrey's
error contributing 10 the run-gettins.
During the remainder OF the game the
visitors were blanked.

run off Monday afternoon at Andrews
field at the first event OF Junior week,
between teams representing Brown uni

meet are very bright.
Browns prospects of winning In Mon
days meet are bright The only really
good man, Ehmke, '0S, is unable TO COM
pete in the meet, having several condi-
tions in his studies. Brown is also weak
in the pole vault, as something over eight
feet is the best that has been done by
any OF the men. Where the Brown and
White are counting on winning the meet
is in the sprints and long distance runs.
Lamkie can be depended upon TO do we'll
in the quarter mile. while Thurlow will
do things In the half-mile. A. l. Wright.
who holds the New England inter-col-
