...Both Nines retired in striking order for the first two innings, three of the Manchesters falling victims to Tyng and three to Wright. Blogg made three brilliant fly-catches at centre field. Wright led off with a base hit in the third, but was doubled up on Dow's foul tip to Carl, and the latter's good throw to Cogswell. Tyng, after two men were out, gave Mincher his base on strikes. Say sent him to second by a high fly to Dow, who, being unable to see the ball on account of the sun, allowed it to drop...
...case some thirty men have been compelled to sit for an hour in a small room with closed doors and windows. After a short time every breath of fresh air has been consumed, and the result of sitting in an over-heated room and of breathing a foul atmosphere for so long a time has been productive of many headaches and of much discomfort. There seem to be some who are unable to appreciate the sanitary advantages of fresh air; but it is difficult to understand how any person bred in a civilized country and to cleanly habits...
...error by pitcher, stole second, and scored on a hot grounder of Ernst's which the third base failed to stop. Dow closed the inning by giving the short stop an easy fly.

Griffin reached first on an error of Thayer, but was left...
...other crew, which was behind, now passed the fouling crews, and came in a long way ahead. Guild's crew came in second. Weld retired after the foul, as one of its out-riggers was broken. The referee, after hearing both sides of the race, decided that it should be rowed over; but the two inside crews showing an argumentative spirit, it was found impossible to carry this decision into effect, and the race later in the day was given to Guild's crew. The reasons for so doing ought perhaps to be stated. Before the turn, as we have...
...Bostons Leonard led off, and was put out at first. O'Rourke made a base hit, got to third on Wright's failure to catch a ball thrown him by Ernst, and came home on Murnan's hit to short stop. Schafer closed the inning with a foul fly to catcher. On our side Holmes led off with a base hit, and stole second where he was left, the next three strikers retiring in order. The second inning resulted in a blank for the Bostons, Manning being left on second after making a clean...
