When we come to base-ball, the accounts and statistics in Mr. Hurd's book are very interesting and significant. Writing concerning the year 1873, Mr. Hurd says: "In the last Harvard game at Cambridge, Yale was completely out-played, making but three base-hits off the Harvard pitcher, while the Yale fielding was so poor that 29 runs were made on 18 base hits. The final score stood 29 to 5. With this disastrous game ended the chain of light defeats which Yale experienced from Harvard. Up to the end of '73 there can be no doubt that...

Harvard, on the contrary, batted Mercer hard. In only two innings did she fail to make a hit. In the third, Gallivan and Boyden, with one man out, were given each his base on balls.
