Umpire Pickes O'Reilly For Harvard Games At Soldiers Field
Harvard base ball fans weigh John O'Reilly as ideal umpire for all Soldiers Field games citing his Holy Cross experience and sharp calls in last Saturday Vermont match. The Harvard crew travels briefly to Cornell with lake practice limited, while no Harvard swimming team member joins the crew amid frequent near overturns in light shells. A Detroit era anecdote recalls Brouthers and lime with whitewash lines, and Dr. Scannell sails for Italy with his mother while Hal Chase’s marriage to Nellie Heffernan stays secret on the Pacific coast. President Murphy of Chicago recalls a bases loaded joke about an umpire misreading four balls and no room for the batter.
