CRIMSON TAKES ON AMHERST NINE TODAY

The Crimson nine, having downed Williams 6 to 1 on Tuesday, will attempt to give the Purple's arch rivals, Amherst, a does of the same medicine this afternoon. The game will be called at Soldiers Field at 4 o'clock.

Amherst has found its path rough this season, with victories few and far between, but the team has been improving of late and the Crimson cannot afford to rate the visitors too lightly. Yale has bested Amherst 6 to 1, Princeton has pounded out a 7 to 0 white wash, and the Army and Virginia both ran their scores into the double figures in beating the team from Western Massachusetts. To offset these reverses, there are no more impressive victories than a 4 to 0 shutout of Tufts and a 14 to 4 batfest at the expense of Trinity.

Brown is slated to be Coach Slattery's starting pitcher. The erratic southpaw has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Spalding and Toulmin for the past three weeks, but it is a matter of common knowledge that he has a better assortment of pitching tricks than any other man on the squad. At his best, he is almost invincible. Wildness was his early season drawback, and. Coach Slattery has been concentrating on this weakness with the result that Brown's control was excellent in a practice set to with the Freshmen last week.

Cambell's wrist is still lame and he probably will not play until the Princeton game Saturday. Norris will again take care of first bast, and Tuesday's batting order will be used.

Captain Woodruff will probably pitch for Amherst, as he has worked in most of the important games so far. Perry and Parker are other possibilities. Woodruff is the leading hitter of the team as well as the best pitcher. He holds the unique distinction of being elected captain of the Amherst nine at the end of his Freshman year. He formerly starred at Andover.
