...June the nine again fell foul of their friends, the "Somersets," and again won, 60-11, and four days afterwards met the "Athletics" of Philadelphia and United States Champions. The "Athletics" were naturally victorious, 22-10, but the Harvard team made an exceedingly creditable showing. The game was the "most scientific ever seen in New England, up to this time. As errors were not scored, we cannot tell the relative merits of the nines, but the "Athletics" probably excelled in both fielding and batting. Parker again distinguished himself in this game by his up-in the-air fly-catching...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Some action ought to be taken by the college authorities in regard to the sanitary condition of the basement of Weld, particularly the basement of the south entry.

The consequence of this is that the air becomes so foul that it is injurious for the health of the instructor as well as the students. A little attention to the proper ventilation of the rooms will prevent any serious consequences which may happen in the future...
...Brigham played a good game in left field, but the others did not distinguish themselves. Edgerly bore off the honors for Harvard, and Foster and Wiestling also did excellent work. The umpiring was inconceivably bad. Grant seemed determined to made every decision against Harvard, his ruling on Allen's foul being more than usually flagrant. It is a poor excuse to offer for a defeat that the umpire was unfair, but Harvard should protest Grant's engagement next year after his performances in the Princeton and Yale games...
