...Harvard supporters after the game. This lack of enthusiasm can be partially traced, however, to the unfortunate accident which disabled Yale's catcher, Carter, in the last half of the second inning.

And there is absolutely no reason why these disgraceful sights should be carried on any longer. Everyman who means to do any climbing...
...ninth, Schoff got first on a clean hit to centre field, stole his second and took third on Bergen's sacrifice. He would have scored on Coogan's hit if Hovey had not made a beautiful throw and cut him off. Coogan was left at second...
