INKY BATTLE TO BE STAGED

Boston Papers Favor Crimson Over Lampoon--Game to be Called at 4 O'Clock--Hollow Bats Feature

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

It is with great interest that the College awaits the result of the battle of words and baseball this afternoon between the CRIMSON and the lampoon. But as a matter of fact, we have not the slightest qualm in anticipating that the score published tomorrow morning will be 23-2: It has been that for the last fifteen years. The lbis and his inky companion are certain to disagree between themselves over the contents of the latest invention the hollow bat (The lampoon has offered a prize of one dollar and a free copy of one of the issues destroyed in the Fire to the undergraduate guessing the wherefore of its hollowness.)

Bob, the keeper of the lampoon, will pitch for both sides, and also umpire. He is expected to have an enjoyable afternoon. The other ends of the batteries have not been picked as yet, but it is reported that several prominent members of both publications went into severe training last night. The game itself will be preceded by a circus parade on the part of the lampoon, starting at 3.30. It is rumored that ink will flow freely during the afternoon.
