...positions were left vacant, third base and right field. Hamlin and Warren who filled those positions last year were graduated, but their places have been filled by good men. Hunt, '85, who caught last year, will go to left field, and Sullivan, a new man, will play behind the bat. Harris, '85, will pitch again this year, and it is though will even out do his record of last year. Gardner, '84, will again cover first, and Buffum, '84, will play second. Taylor, '84, will hold his old position at short, where he played so well last year. Marble...
...Reed mentions that there is a rule which provides that the race be started again if the starters fall within 10 yards of the start.

He accordingly moved north with the mountains between the enemy and the army of the Potomac. Balked in his plans he resigned and Meade was made the commander. Seeing Meade somewhat in his rear Lee moved back...
...where his own attention was drawn aside by the movements of Sedgwick in his rear. This general had received orders from his chief to move around and meet him at Chancellorsville. Instead, on Sunday, he moved straight forward, taking Fredericksburg, after a desperate resistance by the Confederates remaining behind for its defence and to watch his movements. But all this took time, and as Sedgwick moved slowly he was very far from joining Hooker. Indeed, he was checked towards night in an attack on the Confederate force still blocking...
