Worse than this, they had to bear the insolent and frequently indecent gibes of a herd of low muckers who heaped insult on defeat. Such a state of affairs is greatly to be deplored and needs but to be brought clearly before the minds of Harvard students in order that its recurrence may be prevented. It will be urged, no doubt, that our nine receives the same treatment, and that every other nine is in the same position, when defeated on a field away from home. But is this any argument why this nuisance should not be done away with...
...defeat cast its shadow before, only about a dozen Yale men accompanied their nine to Cambridge yesterday. These men were remarkably quiet (for Yale men), their voices being heard but few times during the game and when they did break forth it was in a way which discouraged, rather than animated their comrades...

Yesterday morning a communication appeared in our columns which bewailed the reckless expenditures by the base-ball management of the funds subscribed by the freshman class for the support of its team. It seems rather small for any one to begrudge a suit, even though it does cost thirty-four dollars, to the nine, and its six substitutes, that have borne their...
