FIRST BASEBALL GAME TODAY

The University baseball team will open its season with the Boston Red Sox, the world's champions, at Fenway Park, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The management has had the field covered, and notwithstanding the snow, the field should be in fairly good condition. Tickets for this afternoon's game at 25 cents to $1.50 may be bought at the gate.

The line-up of the Red Sox will be strong, but not so strong as the one which won the championship from the Philadelphia Nationals last fall. Much good material has been found in new recruits, but these new men will not balance the loss of Speaker, whose sale to Cleveland has just been announced.

The University team will be very strong, despite the fact that the team has been out of doors only since early last week. The holes left by last year's graduation have been well filled by material which has come up from last year's Freshman and second teams.

The pitchers have not been definitely picked, but in a special dispatch to the CRIMSON, Manager Carrigan says that he will pick one from the following four men: Baden, Gregg, McHale, or Pennock. Mitchell will use either W. G. Garritt '17, W. C. Hitchcock, Jr., '18, R. M. Loring '18, or E. W. Mahan '16.

The two teams will line up as follows: HARVARD.  RED SOX. Wyche or Percy, r.f.  r.f., Hooper Reed, s.s.  s.s., Scott Coolidge, c.f.  1b., Hoblitzell Nash, 1b.  c.f., Walker Abbot, 2b.  l.f., Shorten Harte, c.  3b., Gardner Knowles, l.f.  2b., Barry Fripp, 3b.  c., Cady or Agnew Garritt, Hitchcock, Loring, or Mahan,  p.p., Bader, Pennock, McHale, or Gregg
