Cambridge Scores Heavily With Tag and Ticket Teams

The Tag-and-Ticket team of the East Cambridge Police force opened its 299th annual series with the Perfidious Parkers to the tune of a no-hit, no-run, and no-error shutout.

Gracing the mound for the Tag-and-Ticket boys, Judge Arthur b. Stone of the Middlesex Court, was in rare form. Of the 72 Harvard students who came to bat, he retired every man. Umpiring his own game, Judge Stone slapped fines of three to five dollars on each of the opposing players.

Playing faultlessly, Judge Stone pitched, caught, fielded, and coached from the bench, all with a magnificent eclat.

Harvard retired in ignominious deffeat. Confident and jubilant, the Tag-and-Ticket boys clamor for a return engagement, to be played on the same ball-grounds next week.

The second team of the Perfidious Parkers, numbering nearly one hundred, has been cordially invited to meet the T-and-T boys for a friendly match. With innate courtesy, the jayvees confess their reluctance to refuse the beautifully engraved and tastefully colored invitation cards which have been distributed to them.

These little engagements have brightened the lives of the jolly T-and-T boys since the first series, in 1636, when Harvard's earliest Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory won the opener by obtaining the right of park cow on the college grounds.

Patrolman Malone, asked to comment on the game, remarked: "Don't blame me. They give us them tags; what can we do--throw 'em away?"
