...yesterday by the Independents of Boston. At the opening of the game the ball went to the Harvard posts, and in less than a minute Carson threw a goal. Play began again, and Griffing at last sent the ball up to the Harvard attack, which promptly fumbled it and gave Simson a chance to return it. The defence made a brace, and sent it back, and for ten minutes neither goal was threatened. At the end of this time McCaull scored a second goal for the visitors. The ball was at our goal during the rest of the half...
...throughout. The High School team was very weak both at the bat and in the field. The Freshman batted well, and ran bases much better than Freshman teams usually do, but their fielding was very unsteady. Sabine pitched a very good game, barring the bases on balls which he gave. Vila and Piper also fielded well, and McLeod and Piper did the best batting. The feature of the game was a one-hand running catch by Gunnison in left field. The score...
...Henshaw, and Campbell did good work in the field, Campbell excelled at the bat and in base running. Wiestling also ran bases in great style. La Marche and Strebeigh carried off the honors for Columbia. Cameron and Willard both played good ball at first. The umpiring of Mr. Pearce gave universal satisfaction to the unprejudiced.

Fifth Inning. - De Sibourg knocked a hot fly to left field and seemed to expect to get his base, but Foster took in the ball. Cameron struck out, but a wild throw by Wiestling gave Strebeigh his base. He stole second but Deppler fouled out to Henshaw and Columbia failed to score. For Harvard, Wiestling led off with a base hit and stole second. Foster advanced him to third by a sacrifice. With his third-base hit Campbell brought in Wiestling, Willard knocked to Deppler, who dropped the ball and then threw wild to second. Campbell, who had stolen second...
...given to their bare fists, they increased this by tying strips of hard bulls hide round them when clinched, and sometimes even attached nails and lead buckles to these to make their blows more deadly. They also usually, but not always, fought continuously until one of the combatants gave in, "rounds" apparently not being to their taste. But although there seems to have been this savagery about the contests, it by no means follows that a "scientific boxer" of the present day would not be able to hold his own in one, if a trial were possible...
