CRIMSON BATTERS MAY FACE BOSTON BRAVES IN SPRING

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A nine-inning-tilt with the Boston Braves may be listed for the University diamond men this spring, it was reported last night. The National League batters routed Harvard last year in a 9 to 3 practice skirmish in the Tribal wigwam.

Since the notable game in 1916 when E. W. Mahan '16 repulsed without a score a Braves aggregation that subsequently won the World Series, Harvard has had only one contest with the Boston professionals and that was last spring's defeat.

In the early days of University baseball, the clash was welcomed as an annual event. If the practice game is arranged this year, it will mark a renewal of the tradition and will give the Harvard team an opportunity of facing the Hornsby-bolstered Tribesmen.
