The National Base-Ball League will meet in Providence December 12.

The proposed Hanlan-Ross-Kennedy race has been postponed until next spring.

The Indian lacrosse team defeated the New York team on Monday in one of the finest games ever played in New York.

At the boat race, held on Lake George by the crews of Pennsylvania, Wesleyan, Princeton, Cornell and Bowdoin, the last named crew, greatly to the surprise of Bowdoin students, came in behind all the others. The positions at the finish were in the order of the colleges mentioned.

Next year the present splendid infield of the Boston nine - Morrill, Burdock, Wise and Sutton - will be retained, and Buffington will also be a member of the team. Richardson, Rowe, Brouthers, Galvin, Force and Foley have been engaged by the Buffalos. The Chicagos will only make one change, letting Quest go and replacing him by Gerhardt, if the latter be reinstated. Ewing of the Troys has had several very tempting offers, and will without doubt play as change catcher for Chicago or with the New York League team. The Clevelands have retained nearly all their present nine, including Glasscock, Dunlap, Muldoon, Bradley, Briody and McCormick. Beyond this all is guess work, other statements to the contrary notwithstanding.

In a tennis tournament this summer, at Bar Harbor, Me., G. S. Winslow, '83, won the first, and G. W. Beals, '83, the second prize. G. W. Beals, '83, won the first prize in another tournament held at the same place the first week in September. In the tournament at Cottage City, held Aug. 15, 16, and 17, E. K. Butler, Jr., '83, won the second prize in the singles, and E. K. Butler, Jr., '83, with Mr. Woodman, of Jamacia Plain, won the first prize in the doubles. In the tournament at Newport, the first week in September, for the championship of the United States, R. D. Sears, '83, won the first prize in the singles, and the same player, together with Dr. Dwight of Boston, won the first prize in the doubles.

The Advocate makes the following summary of the college base-ball records of the season just past: The average in batting of the Harvard Nine in college games the past season was .257. Fielding average, .746. Brown had the best batting average, .295, and Princeton the best fielding, .831. The best fielders in their respective positions were: Pitcher, Harris, Amherst; Catcher, Hubbard, Yale; 1 b., Hopkins, Yale; 2 b., Parker, Dartmouth; 3 b., Harlan, Princeton; s. s., Cushman, Dartmouth; l. f., Clark, Princeton; c. f., Smith, Yale; r. f., Durfee, Brown. Wadleigh, of Princeton, led the batting of the association, with an average of .408 bases. Olmsted, of Harvard, was fourth. Clark, of Princeton, led the fielding, playing six games without an error. Hopkins, of Yale, was second, with an average of .970.
