THE LEADING CONTESTS OF THE SEASON.

THE MARCH CAMPAIGN.

The first out-door work of the season of 1893 done by the Yale players was begun at New Haven, on March 18th, when all three of the college teams—University, Law School and Freshmen—were out on the field practicing under the professional supervision of pitcher John Clarkson.

On March 28th the Pennsylvania University nine had an old time fungo game with the Swarthmore College nine, the "Pensys" winning by 59 to 1.

It was on this date that the Yale nine visited Philadelphia, full of confidence in their ability to take the Pennsylvania University nine into camp; but the "Pensys" did not see it in that light, and with the late
