The fielding of both Nines was very good, but the batting, owing to effective pitching on both sides, was quite weak; the so-called weak strikers came to our rescue, however, in the fifth inning, and saved the situation. While all played well, a beautiful one-hand stop by Leeds, and several excellent pick-ups by Wright, are worthy of special mention. Below is the full score...

It may be that they fail to perceive the importance of the strains of the hand-organ as a soothing stimulation to study. It may appear to them that such music has a kinship with lolling out of the window and addressing the dispenser of familiar airs in terms of slang - or, possibly, the authorities may deem it improper that "the shining cent" should be flipped...
