...second game of the Beacon-Harvard series was played on Saturday before an audience of about 300, and resulted in an easy victory for our nine. The wind blew strong from the west and proved very detrimental to the batsmen. Boyden, '85 pitched for the nine, and showed up very well, but six hits were made off him, while seven of the Beacons struck out. Tilden caught during the first three innings, and was then relieved by Allen, who played out the game without an error. Brackett did not prove a very effective pitcher for the Beacons. The fielding...

It is absurd to believe that the practice given to batsmen by an amateur pitcher can accomplish the same results as that given by a professional, since the pitching is not so swift nor so sure, two requisites seldom found in an amateur pitcher. The delivery of the ball may be supplemented with a number of dodges only known...

...boasted progress in athletics is in the direction of fraud and deceit." Probably the annals of debate among intelligent men will show nothing richer or fresher than this. Brothers Nichols of Harvard and Moffat of Princeton will hereafter kindly refrain from practising their deceptive arts upon the guileless batsmen. It is wrong to give them balls that they cannot knock into "kingdom come." It is shame to tease them by sending in curved spheres. In future, pitchers will deliver them straight at the bat so that nothing may baffle the aim of the batsman, who can thus convert...
