...drizzling rain, George Hiller of New Haven being accepted conditionally as umpire by Capt. Thayer, as neither Sumner nor Reach, the specified umpires, was present. Harvard took the bat, and in the first three innings retired in striking order; Winsor alone reaching first on a hot liner to left field which Brown failed to hold, and in attempting to reach third was fielded out by Smith. Parker hit for a base, but was beautifully fielded out by Tyng to Latham. Smith took his base on balls, but fell an easy victim to Tyng and Latham. In the second and third...
HARVARD vs. AMHERST.Loose fielding by Amherst and clever base running by Harvard gave our nine an easy victory on Wednesday.

The fielding everywhere was fine. With such a game before us, and the prospect of ten days' more practice, we have every reason to be encouraged. There is but one thing more wanted to increase the chances of success; that is, that...
THERE has been a good deal of noise in the Yard during the last few evenings, - more than was necessary perhaps, and certainly more than was agreeable. We do not believe that the Yard is the proper place for select field meetings of the H. A. A., because the applause of the spectators is distracting to hard workers who wish to keep their windows open. We have no high opinion of the man who plays on his piano out of hours with a free use of the loud pedal, and we think no punishment severe enough for one who makes...
