...seems to require stronger words, for it amounts to nothing more nor less than stealing, I am sorry to have to call your attention to such a flagrant ahuse of privileges as some man is guilty of, but hope that a widespread knowledge of the facts may lead to an effective check upon such action in the future...

In the sixth he pitched seven strikes in succession, and Harvard was out by Henshaw's fly to left. McClung lead off with a three base hit, McBride got first on balls, and then the first inning was repeated. Corning got a grounder fielded it, but threw it again over first into the crowd and all three got home. The rest of the side went out with Cushing left on third...
