2 STRAIGHT DEFEATS MAKE 2NDS EAGER FOR WIN THIS AFTERNOON

The second baseball nine will play its first home game of the season at 4 o'clock this afternoon when the Bridgewater Normal School team invades Soldier's Field. Coach Stewart and his charges are eager to get back into the win column after the two recent defeats from the hands of Exeter and Worcester, and the visitors will find the Crimson prepared for a hard game.

Puffer, one of the recent additions to the squad, will probably get the assignment for mound duty this afternoon, although Cotter or Johnson are possible hurlers. If the Crimson does not emerge from its recent batting slump, however, good pitching will be of no avail.
