The baseball series is the only one
between the service schools in which
one side has a big advantage,
The soldiers have won. fourteen
games to six by the sailors. Still, it
happens that six OF the games won
by the former have been by single
run. and another by two runs, so
chat 1t is clear that the mines have
generally met on rather even terms.
The Army defeated the University
OF Pennsylvania by to 4 at West
Point, while the Navy played the
same team 2-to-2 tie at Philadel
sphia. 1t also made two runs IN the
eighth inning, but the game was
stopped by rain and called back to
the seventh. This indicates rather
even strength on the part Of the
eeryice teams.

The service teams contested in
field and track and tennis for the
first time last year, the army
winning in field and track and
the navy the tennis. This year,
the chances favor strongly that
each will make 1t two straight in
those branches.
1t is realized here that only a
tremendous reversal of form on
the part of the soldiers would give
the navy a chance to win on field
and track. This Is due to the
great superiority, as indicated by
performances this year of the army
people in the track events. In the
