The most exciting, as well as the most favorable game of the
season was that with Bucknell on Beaver Field, June 5. Both
teams played well, although Shortell’s pitching did not come up
to expectations, while the fielding on both sides was slightly faulty.
Without doubt the star play of the game was Miller’s catch of a
long drive to left field. Spiesman and Bechtel also executed a
fine double play. Bechtel, Brandt and Nesbit played a fine game,
Nesbit’s pitching being particularly strong when hits*meant runs
and defeat. The score:

The Red and Blue for May is a special “Fiction Number,”
containing some excellent stories. “An Artistic Crime” is un
doubtedly the best of all. “Ted Hollister ”is pretty and bright,
and fully repays one for the reading. Then there are several
short sketches, “The Young Archaeologist,” “A Pennsylvania
Tale,” and “ Nantucket Jottings,” which are admirably written.
The verse, too, is excellent, while the essay, “ Tying as a Fine
Art,” is about as humorous as we have ever read.
One of the prettiest college romances we have ever read comes
to us under the title “College Colors,” in the April Minnesota
Magazine.
The Hamilton Literary Magazine brings us another humorous
sketch, “ How Shall He Ask Her?” It is of vital importance to
any one who contemplates matrimony. “How the Well was
Shot,” is deserving of mention.
