The fifth annual field day of the Tufts College Athletic Association was held Friday, May 25. The field events took place in the morning on the new campus, and the track events were run off at Mystic Park in the afternoon. The lack of interest shown by the students was deplorable. There were but seven entries outside of the class of '97, owing perhaps to the fact that '97 had secured such a lead in the number of points at the winter meeting that the class cup was practically secured. This one-sidedness of the contest had its effect on the audience. The number was small both in the morning and afternoon; not a cheer was heard from start to finish. Following is the list of events, with the winners :

The game with Dartmouth, Tuesday, May 21, was one of the prettiest Tufts has played this year, and but for hard luck would have been ours. Neither side scored in the first two inn

ings, good fielding by Dartmouth and steady pitching by Johnston keeping men from the plate. In the third both teams made two runs. For Tufts, after Holbrook had flied out, Ray got first on an error and came home on Corridan's home run over the centre fielder's head. The next two men were easy outs. Patey started in the third for Dartmouth with a hit, and scored on Folsom's home run to centre field. The next two men were out on grounders to the infield, and after two men had reached first and second on Ray's errors the side was out, Pierce to Maguire.

Tufts scored two more runs in the fourth on a base on balls, an unaccepted chance, and hits in the eighth on a single by Maguire and a by Richardson and Holbrook, and added its last three-base hit by Richardson. Dartmouth scored one each in the last four innings, winning Folsom. The Tufts infield played a magnifithe game by the daring and lucky steals of cent game, and the battery work was excellent. Tufts, and Patey and Tabor for Dartmouth. Richardson and Maguire excelled at the bat for Ray's errors were excusable and only one of them costly.

DARTMOUTH, 12. TUFTS, 11.

The second game with Dartmouth was very similar to the first, the home team winning again by one run. Richardson, '98, was put in the box for Tufts and pitched a very good game. His support at times was rather poor, or the score would have been different. Dartmouth started in scoring immediately, making one in each of the first two innings and five in the fourth. Tufts could not score until the fifth, when, after a man had reached first on balls, three hits and two unaccepted chances brought in four runs. Three more came in in the sixth, two bases on balls and singles by Corridan and Smith; one in the seventh, on three singles; and three in the eighth, on a base on balls, two singles, and a combination of errors by Dartmouth. Dartmouth made one more in the seventh, two in the eighth, and two in the ninth, making final score of 12 to 1I. The infield work of Tufts was excellent, three pretty double plays being to their credit, besides many difficult stops and lightning throws. Smith, Patey, and Richardson, '97, led at the bat.
