Gracing the mound for the Tag-and-Ticket boys, Judge Arthur b. Stone of the Middlesex Court, was in rare form. Of the 72 Harvard students who came to bat, he retired every man. Umpiring his own game, Judge Stone slapped fines of three to five dollars on each of the opposing players...
...looked as if all eternity might well be needed for Australia's first innings. Australia's Don Bradman, currently the most famed cricketer in the world, who delights audiences with the incautious brilliance of his batting, had one of his best days. He and Ponsford stayed at bat for all of one day, rolled up a total of 451 runs, a record for a test match partnership. Australia's captain, William M. Woodfull, defended his wicket cleverly for 49 runs more. When the last Australian wicket fell, the total was 701 runs, just short of a test...

By the time Detroit took the field the score was Detroit 4, Washington 2. Rowe struck out the last two batters, threw his glove in the air, rode off on the shoulders of the crowd...

He passed Williamson, Curtin singled, and Dugan filled the sacks when Charley Nevin had trouble with a grounder. Then Armstrong again caused trouble with his bat. This time it was a tricky bounding grounder that Johnny Adzigian failed to hold on to. In came Williamson, making it Yale 2, Harvard 3. This was the final tally as the Blue went out in order thereafter...
