Magazine is strictly literary, and is not hampered with locals, alumni notes, and baseball accounts, after the manner of combination news and literary papers such as the TUFTONIAN. Brown is also fortunate in possessing two such clever men as Messrs. Anthony and Gallup, whose poems have been frequently quoted in our exchange column. These two students have written voluminously for their college paper, and the results have been uniformly creditable. The Nassau Literary Magazine and the Southern Collegian have a refreshing southern flavor, and year after year set a high standard of excellence which the northern college papers can scarcely equal. The Williams Literary Magazine is especially fortunate in its large number of original stories, some of which have been worthy of more than passing notice. The Wellesley Magazine and the Dartmouth Literary Monthly have usually been entertaining, although the former has been handicapped by a tendency toward profuseness, while the latter has had the opposite inclination. Of late years the improvement in college papers has been evident, and the standard of work done to-day is higher than ever before. During the past year the TUFTONIAN has received considerable attention from contempo rary papers. Some of the prose contributions have been carefully reviewed, and several of the poems have been printed among the exchanges. It is a pleasure to be able to say that perhaps no article excited more universal interest than the one contributed by our Japanese friend. The following sonnet, written by W. J. Boardman, appeared in the Amherst Literary Monthly: Compassionate of the wan face upturned From squalid rags that ill kept out the cold, I gave, from my scant store of hard-earned gold, A poor man's alms. Straightway the beggar turned, And, spitting, cursed my gift so small; he spurned Me in his rage. I went with bitter ire And burning heart. When, sweet as new-strung lyre, The lot of Him the Chosen Nation slew The following, which is going the rounds of Divinity School.

The second game of the western Massachusetts trip was played with Amherst, and resulted in an easy victory for that team. From the minute Amherst stepped to the bat they played the game for all it was worth. It was by far the strongest team we had faced this year, and the demoralization of our team from the game of the day before was painfully evident. Tufts's only runs were made in the first inning, on Corridan's base on balls, Johnston's being hit by a pitched ball, and a three-base hit by Pierce. Five hits in succession marked Amherst's coming to bat, and these, aided by a base on balls and two three-base hits, made a total of eight for them. In the third and fourth Amherst made two more runs, bringing their number up to twelve, which, with seven in the seventh and four in the eighth, made a total of twenty-three runs. The game, although not close, was replete with pretty plays, some of which were almost phenomenal in their nature. The work of Amherst was excellent, especially in batting, and the whole infield played together as a unit. Smith caught a very creditable game for Tufts, and his batting was strong, as was also that of Pierce. Earned runs: Amherst, 8. Two-base hits: Sullivan, Thomas, Smith. Three-base hits: Sullivan (2), Thomas, Tyler, Pierce. Home runs: Thomas. Double plays: Pierce, Corridan, Maguire, Thomas, Sullivan, Trask, Fletcher. Bases on balls: By Johnston, 3; by Thomas, 7. Hit by pitched ball: Johnston (2), Holbrook. Struck out: By Thomas, 4. Passed balls: Smith, 3. Stolen bases: Amherst, 7. Time of game: 2 hours, 10 minutes. Umpire: COLBY. TUFTS VS. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. SATURDAY, MAY 11. The second game of the season on the home grounds was played Saturday with Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and resulted in a victory for Tufts. There was no doubt as to the final result, at any time in the game. The batting of Tufts was very strong and was certainly an improvement over the exhibition of weakness in hitting the ball given at the Amherst game. Corridan played a pretty game at short, and Maguire, at first, deserves great praise for his work. Ray made a difficult catch Ray made a difficult catch of a high fly in the third. For Worcester, Harris and Knowles batted well. Philpot, 2b. Zaeder (capt.), ib. Cullen, s. Martin, p. A. B. R. HON H. P.O. A.

Bases on balls: By Johnston, 3; by Martin, 5. Hit by pitched ball: Maguire, Corridan. Struck out: By Martin, 6; by Johnston, 5. Time of game: 2 hours, 15 minutes. Umpire: C. D. CLARK.
