...Union Grounds. In last year's game, Mr. Holden tripped in a hole and sprained his ankle, not getting into good trim again all the season. Yesterday, Mr. Nichols, a most promising player, was slung into the home plate of the diamond, a great block of marble, and badly hurt. Not only that, there was every chance offered the men of being severely hurt; and it was only that Providence which watches over somnambulists and Harvard students that kept them from embracing...
...managers; but with every precaution, the ground is dangerous and unfit to play on: it is covered with cinders, full of holes, has a running track and a base-ball diamond on it, and above all, is absurdly small. Every probability points to some one being seriously hurt there in future games; and this being so, is practice so valuable to us as to make us run the risk of crippling our best men, even if we never play on the Union Grounds again...

From the Roxbury Latin are Williams and Blainey. Hopkinson sends some promising candidates, among who are W. Weld, who was hurt while practising with the 'Varsity a few days ago, but will be out again in a few days to play halfback. Nichols has played quarterback for several years, and is a good tackler. The others from Hopkinson's are Amory, Bangs and Blanchard...
