Another laurel was won by our boys on the dia
mond, Saturday May i3th. We played Dickin
son and finally succeeded in downing her by the
score of 13 to 9. The playing on both sides was
quite good, though the fielding might have been
improved. Both Dickinson and our own team
made costly errors in the field. Our boys were
first to the bat, and it looked for a while as if we
were going to have as mach of a walk over as we
had with Bucknell. Five runs and seven hits was
