...Friday, June 16, the University met the Boston Nine for the fifth time this season. Harvard had her usual luck, and went to the bat, only to retire in one, two, three order. George Wright and O'Rourke led off for the other side with base hits, but the Bostons failed to score, George Wright being caught napping at third, and prettily thrown out by Thatcher, who purposely muffed the ball at the third strike. In the second inning, Harvard again failed to score, but had two men left on bases. Schafer scored for the Bostons, the next three...
...large house, a steep staircase, and a pair of hobnailed shoes. The house is a sort of decoy. You invite the man that you don't like to dine with you, or inveigle him into your power in some other way. When he comes to the house, he is led through a suite of elegant apartments decorated with paintings of the "Fall of the Rebellious Angels," the "Fall of Cardinal Wolsey," the "Fall of the Year," the "Falls of Niagara," and other kindred subjects; and ultimately you meet him in a small cabinet from which the staircase descends...
...Leeds led off for Harvard with a long fly to left field, which was well taken by Tyler. Wright got his first on an error of the third baseman, took second on a passed ball, and came home op Tyng's two-base hit. Tyng was put out while attempting to steal third. Thayer took first on an error by pitcher, stole second, and scored on a hot grounder of Ernst's which the third base failed to stop. Dow closed the inning by giving the short stop an easy fly. For Brown, Nickerson reached first by Thatcher's missing...
...error, and that a very excusable one. Tyng made three bad errors, and Leeds and Sawyer two each. In the eighth inning Leeds atoned in some measure for his errors in the first part of the game, by making a wonderful running catch of a low fly. Tower led the batting. Of the Live Oaks, Stratton, Shattuck, and Coggswell did most of the fielding...
...Bostons Leonard led off, and was put out at first. O'Rourke made a base hit, got to third on Wright's failure to catch a ball thrown him by Ernst, and came home on Murnan's hit to short stop. Schafer closed the inning with a foul fly to catcher. On our side Holmes led off with a base hit, and stole second where he was left, the next three strikers retiring in order. The second inning resulted in a blank for the Bostons, Manning being left on second after making a clean...
