PENN.'S RECORD GOOD LATELY

The come-back strength of the University nine, after the unexpected reverse at the hands of Boston College last Wednesday, will be given a severe test tomorrow afternoon when it meets Pennsylvania on Soldiers Field at 3 o'clock. This will be the second contest of a two-game series. The first game, played at Philadelphia on May 6, resulted in a timely victory for the University, due to the brilliant twirling of Mahan who, besides pitching an air-tight game, drove in two runs. Judging from the way he fooled the Penn. batters in the first contest, Coach Mitchell will doubtless send him into the box again tomorrow. Spielman, the opposing team's star slab-man, will probably face Mahan.

The Pennsylvania aggregation has been up against some unusually strong nines during the past couple of weeks and has played exceptionally good ball. On Saturday, May 28, it downed the strong Cornell team at Ithaca. The contest was the second of the series, Cornell having won the first, and was in doubt until the fifteenth inning when Barry, the hard hitting shortstop of the Philadelphia team, lined out a beautiful homer after two men were down, winning the game, 5 to 3. On Decoration Day the extra-inning victors were given a set-back by the Tigers in another after-time affair. Princeton rallied in the 12th and drove out six timely hits for a total of five runs, turning the game in its favor, 7 to 2. The following Saturday the Red and Blue nine took a brace and in the deciding contest of the three-game series with Yale pounded out a 3 to 0 win in spite of the fact that Garfield, for Yale, allowed only four hits. The victory came as a result of heady baseball; a squeeze play and a couple of sacrifices being sufficient to do the trick.
