...Bowdoin Nine have secured new ball-grounds, and desire to arrange a match with Harvard...
...Nine played with the professional Manchesters, and, after a game of twenty-four innings, decided to call the game a draw, the score standing zero to zero. This is by far the most remarkable game on record; and the inability to score was due not only to the dead ball, but also to Ernst's puzzling delivery and the brilliant fielding of the Manchesters.

But this apparent neglect was purely an oversight, as the after-treatment of our hosts most conclusively proved. Once in the company of these gentlemen, the time passed very quickly...
