The Beacons, the well-known amateur base-ball nine of Boston, have organized for the coming season, and will play their usual game with Harvard, probably on Fast Day. This club stands at the head of all the amateur nines in the country, and is in fact purely amateur, as no pay whatever has ever been given to a player, even for a single game. Many of the members are college-graduates and interest is kept up during the winter by monthly dinners. It used to be said that the club never played two games in a season with exactly the same nine, but this year the men will play more regularly. Nichols, Harvard '86, will again take his place as pitcher, to be supplanted at times by "Dr." Pope, who always pitches in the game with Harvard. Smith, Harvard '86, now in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will play right field and sometimes pitcher, and Foster, Harvard '87, will take left field, in which position he is unequalled. In the other positions, the club will have about the same men as it had last year.
