a  number  of  brief  references  in  this  Journal  to  the  work  that  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  has  instituted  (see  this  Journal, 
Vol.  82,  p.  545,  and  Vol.  83,  p.  91).  While  all  of  the  students  of 
the  College  undergo  a  physical  examination  and  receive  instruction 
in  physical  culture,  some  of  them  engage  in  special  team  work. 
The  baseball  team  of  the  P.  C.  P.  played  the  second  of  what  prom- 
ises to  be,  we  hope,  in  the  nature  of  an  annual  Harvard- Yale  " 
game  with  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City  of  New  York,  at 
South  Field,  Columbia  University,  on  Friday  afternoon,  April  14. 
We  publish  the  following  account  of  the  game  from  the  New  York 
Sun: 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  baseball  team  defeated  the  New  York 
College  of  Pharmacy  team  yesterday  afternoon  for  the  pharmaceutical  cham- 
pionship in  a  six-inning  game,  which  was  played  on  South  Field,  Columbia 
University,  in  a  driving  rain,  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  scoring 
7  runs,  while  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy,  which  is  an  adjunct  of 
Columbia,  could  make  only  3.  The  druggists  from  the  Quaker  city  had  the 
better  of  it  in  every  department  of  the  game,  and  although  the  New  Yorkers 
took  the  lead  in  the  first  inning,  they  could  not  hold  it  long,  and  Philadelphia 
won  easily. 
The  home  players  did  their  best  work  in  the  first  inning,  when  they 
brought  two  runs  across  the  plate  and  shut  out  the  visitors.  In  the  second 
session  they  found  themselves  shut  out  while  Philadelphia  made  one  run, 
and  in  the  next  inning  another  zero  for  New  York  and  two  tallies  for 
Philadelphia  gave  the  Quaker  dispensers  the  lead.  The  game  was  virtually 
decided  in  the  fourth  when  a  batting  rally,  two  of  the  hits  being  three- 
baggers,  added  three  runs  to  the  Philadelphia  score.  In  their  half  of  the 
inning  the  home  players  made  their  last  run  of  the  game,  while  the  visitors 
made  another  in  the  fifth  session.  Both  teams  failed  to  score  in  the  sixth 
and  as*  the  players  were  beginning  to  find  it  almost  impossible  to  disentangle 
their  feet  from  the  mud,  the  game  was  called. 
Hart  and  Gray  were  the  stars  of  the  game,  and  it  was  their  heavy 
hitting  that  won  the  game  for  Philadelphia.  Each  made  two  three-base  hits, 
and  Hart  in  the  fifth  hit  the  ball  hard  enough  for  a  clean  home  run,  but 
omitted  to  touch  third  in  making  the  circuit  and  was  called  out  by  the 
umpire.  Hancock,  who  pitched  for  the  winners,  had  good  control  of  the 
ball  in  spite  of  the  wet  weather,  and  allowed  only  three  scattered  hits.  New 
York  used  two  pitchers,  Steiert  and  Billings.  All  of  Philadelphia's  runs  were 
made  while  Steiert  was  in  the  box. 
Yesterday's  game  was  the  second  annual  contest,  the  game  last  year, 
which  was  played  in  Philadelphia,  also  resulting  in  a  victory  for  the  Quakers.
