BASEBALL
The highlight of the baseball season to date is the last minute victory of the Green over Boston College at Hanover May IS. After losing to Penn, Harvard and Columbia on successive days and on the home diamond Jeff's forces took the measure of the strong Boston team in a last-inning rally, 7-6. Aided by the wildness of the opposing pitcher Dartmouth put three men on bases with two out. A base on balls forced in the tying run, and when Lane singled "the ball game broke up" with the Green on the long end of a close score. Fusonie and Lane have been Coach Tesreau's mainstays in hitting. Breckenridge, a sophomore, has justified early season promise by his pitching. Capt. Van Riper, Harris, Marsh and Hollstrom are the other varsity hurlers.

Hollstrom held the Brown batters scoreless for four innings and lasted through a barrage which brought in five runs until the ninth, when Breckenridge relieved him and retired the side in order. The Green had collected its ten runs by this time, chiefly through the timely hitting of Walsh, star short stop. Rawlings was relieved by Ford, of Brown, in the second inning.

McNulty the Boston pitcher, then showed a wild streak and passed the next three Dartmouth batters forcing in Harris with the run which tied the game. Shea went into the box for B. C. and Lane connected for a single which brought in the winning run. Myles was the leading hitter of the day with two singles and a home run in five times at bat.
