...lost the toss, and Leeds led off with a fine base-hit to right field, stole second base, and was left there. For the Bostons, Wright got his first on called balls, stole his second, and came home on a passed ball. In the second inning Thayer made a hard base-hit, and scored his run before the third man was out. The Bostons failed to score in this inning. Leeds again led off, getting his first by an error of short-stop, and getting home by a base-hit of Dow's. This inning ended the run-getting...

A disagreeable and often ill-managed responsibility would be lifted...
...editorial column it laments a decline of interest - actual and pecuniary - in base-ball; it praises the heroism of Amherst students at some recent fires in the town, where the fire department appears to have been almost as inefficient as our own; and, finally, it vehemently attacks some of the same students for a nocturnal disturbance in the campus, which seems to have been like the "flare-ups" with which our Cambridge wags occasionally amuse...
