...Yesterday's game was a strong contrast to the one next before it" might head the account of every game our nine has played this year. The grounds were abominable. In left field and in left centre especially the field sloped down so that the fielders were almost out of sight when they chased long hits. The bad work of the nine in the infield is partly explained by the hummocks among which the balls rolled. But the nine cannot be considered to have done its best under difficulties. In the sixth inning the men seemed to lose their heads...
...Mendenhall and Woodcock were admirable. At the bat also our men did excellent work. Woodcock pitched a good game, but did not prove nearly as much of a puzzle as the week before. Few more hits were made than in the previous game, but they were a strong contrast to the hits of the week before in being clean and well bunched. The Brown men made but two errors and played altogether a strong game, so that only good hits counted. Bates pitched an excellent game for us, and the four hits which were made off his delivery were...
...game yesterday was a complete contrast to that of Saturday. Howe's pitching was remarkably wild, the Bostons taking first base on balls nine times. His throwing to bases was also poor. In the infield Hovey made three errors and Dean one. The outfield played well except for one badly misjudged fly by Dickinson. Hallowell and Frothingham both made beautiful catches, each assisting in a timely double play. Cook at third made a fine catch of a ball thrown high over his head. He also made the only clean hit that Harvard got, and his sacrifice in the fifth inning...
...After Twenty Years" stands in marked contrast to a "A Mutual Fraud" as regards character and treatment. It is a story reminding one of Hawthorne in its general simplicity and in certain descriptive touches. The plot of the story is slender and not particularly original, but the author counterbalances this by some truly excellent bits of description and character delineation. The old village doctor of Milford stands vividly before us, and the quiet humor of the first part stands in striking antithesis to the deep patnos of the latter part of the tale...
...verse of the number is common-place. The "Triolets" have none of that delicacy of turn and sentiment which this particular form of rhyme should exhibit. The other poem of the number is a sonnet upon "Greatness," a word which stands in direct contrast to the lines it heads. The chief features of this sonnet are the absence of poetical imagery and a presence of mixed metaphors...
