...model day for the first baseball game, and an unusually large attendance was the result. Harvard's score was only 12, a considerable drop from 26 of last year. The game was extremely slow and tiresome. There was no brilliant playing whatever except, perhaps, the catch of Frothingham's hit by Millard in the sixth inning, and the batting of Hallowell, Frothingham and Hovey. Andover made but four hits all singles, two each by Donovan and Jennings. Of Harvard's ten hits, Hallowell, Frothingham, and Hovey made eight. Hallowell led with a single and two doubles. Frothingham and Hovey also...
Harvard came to the bit first, and made three runs, Hallowell getting his base on balls and reaching home on two passed balls, Hovey making a hit, stealing second, reaching third on an error by Murphy, and home on Frothingham's single, which also let in Abbott, who had been given a base on balls...

After much discussion and many experiments, Professor F. D. Allen has made a scheme which is thought to be near enough to the ancient music and yet will not be too strange to our ears. For the Greek play a full chorus and unaccompanied dialogues answer well enough, but this is not true of the Latin play which...
...chalking the tip of the foil, so that it will leave its mark on the adversary's chest, will be given up. The objections are many. In the passages of the by-play and preparatory feints the chalk is often rubbed off the tip so that a succeeding hit leaves no mark at all, or one so indistinct that the judges must run to each adversary, examine his jacket carefully, consult together, and decide as best they can. This running of the judges at every interval of two or three passes, and peeking for a fly-speck on the chest...
