...Blister. We only have space to give a detailed account of the first inning. At precisely three o'clock the Borsair, gracefully poising himself on one toe, let fly the sphere. Moriarty, for the Hod-lifters, amid cries of the crowd of, "Are you there, Moriarty?" drove a liner back to the Borsair, who neatly caught it - between the eyes; notwithstanding the sudden shock, he deftly hurled the red globe to Cunners, on first base, in time to put Moriarty out. Amid the cries of the populace of, "No, you're not there, Moriarty," he returned home, a sadder...
...Ripley, but he is thrown out, by Winsor to Holden. This brilliant play saves a run. Tyng, for Harvard, goes out on a fly to right-field; Ernst reaches first base on a missed third-strike; Wright steps up to bat, and earns two bases on a long liner out to left field, bringing Ernst home, amidst great excitement. Winsor gets to second by an error of centre-field; and a base-hit will give two more runs; unfortunately Olmstead and Nunn both go out on fouls. Score, Yale 4, Harvard 1. There is a slight hope for the crimson...
...Monday was an improvement on Saturday's game, the men having in a great part recovered from the nervousness consequent upon their first experience with a professional nine. Nunn's fine base running and catching, Olmstead's good work at first base, and Cohen's stop of a hot liner, were the noticeable features of Harvard's game. It is sufficient to say of Tyng that he played as well as ever, and to see him once more in the field made us long for the Nine of '78. The following is the score...
...midst of a drizzling rain, George Hiller of New Haven being accepted conditionally as umpire by Capt. Thayer, as neither Sumner nor Reach, the specified umpires, was present. Harvard took the bat, and in the first three innings retired in striking order; Winsor alone reaching first on a hot liner to left field which Brown failed to hold, and in attempting to reach third was fielded out by Smith. Parker hit for a base, but was beautifully fielded out by Tyng to Latham. Smith took his base on balls, but fell an easy victim to Tyng and Latham...
Seventh Inning. - Wright hit a terrific liner to Brown, who juggled it and entitled Wright to a base-hit; Winsor hit gently to Carter, who, instead of doubling up Wright, gave him his second by a poor throw to Walden; then the hippodrome began. Howe tried to sacrifice, but Walden fumbled; bases full, Nunn tried to fly out, but Walden muffed, Wright scoring; Thayer tried to sacrifice, Walden threw wildly home, Winsor scoring; Tyng tried to sacrifice, Walden threw wildly home, Howe scoring; Latham struck to Hutchison, who made a fine pick up and forced Nunn out on home; Ernst...
