...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. The game was called at 3 P. M. by Mr. Holmes, '78, the Harvards being at the bat. Both Nines retired in striking order for the first two innings, three of the Manchesters falling victims to Tyng and three to Wright. Blogg made three brilliant fly-catches at centre field. Wright led off with a base hit in the third, but was doubled up on Dow's foul...
Tyng caught extremely well, and had no passed balls The number of men (36) he put out behind the bat, as also the strikes (74), fully attest the effectiveness of Ernst's delivery. Wright played his base to perfection, although he shows an aversion to slow grounders. Thayer's sharp fielding was a prominent feature in Harvard's infield. Latham played superbly in the out-field, making some fine running fly-catches. Leeds played short-stop without errors, and made some valuable assistances. On the Manchester side Snigg proved to be the most troublesome pitcher the Nine have...

Game was called about three o'clock, our men going first to the bat. They succeeded in obtaining one run, and managed to give their opponents a whitewash. In the second inning Harvard scored 2, Yale again retiring without a run. During the next three innings neither side scored; and up to this point the game was remarkably well played, and the errors were few. In the sixth inning our Freshmen made four runs...
...14th we played the first game of the season with the Bostons. The Bostons put in Bond and Brown as pitcher and catcher, and J. White right field. The fielding was good on both sides. Leeds, Tyng, and Thayer distinguished themselves at the bat. The game would have resulted in a closer score if we had had the luck to hit a ball when these men were on the bases, but our base-hits always came in when they did the least good. The score was as follows...
Ernst's pitching proved even more effective than usual, but two base hits being made off of him. At the bat, Leeds made a remarkable record. He went to the bat five times, and four times earned his base, making one three-base...
