...pleased, but '89 took a decided brace in in the last part of the second half which would have won the game had it been begun sooner. At the close of the second half the score stood 12 to 9 against '89. Goodhue, of St. Marks, played almost the whole game for them, distinguishing himself by some phenomenal plays; but the whole Southboro eleven, though light, played with a great deal of snap and pluck. For Harvard, Trafford, Noble and Scott bore off the honors. It was evident from '89's playing that a lack of incentive is felt...
...last year, as no one can take any interest in a contest that drags on for two or three weeks. We have been assured by some of the directors that the whole thing can be finished in about three days if the play is brisk. While this is almost too much to hope for, we do think that a week ought to be sufficient; but this rests entirely with the students, and they should remember, that even if the Tennis Association does its best by means of stringent rules in regard to non-appearance, no one likes to take...

It is, in a measure, an experiment, but it is almost certain that it will prove practicable. - N. Y. Times...
...have been safe had the ball been fielded more quickly. Phillips did some of his old time work at second, and Smith in the pitcher's box stopped a number of swift balls. His delivery puzzled the Rollstones very much, and although they usually hit the ball, it would almost inevitably be sent back to Smith or Phillips. Henshaw supported his pitcher in fine style. For the Rollstones, Litchfield at short and J. Regan at second, did the best work. The batting was not free on either side. Wiestling hit very hard, and Beaman made half the hits...
