At present the prospects of winning are not very bright, but hard work and unceasing practice may bring success...
...very largely due to the fine batting of John Carmichael, who, some years ago, played occasionally for Susse. For Harvard, Garrett bowled well, his wickets costing a little over five runs apiece; Sullivan did good work at point, one of the catches he secured being a left hander and close to the ground.
