...hold the pitching with gloves, Harvard will have to look out for her laurels on June 7th and 8th, The applause was very impartially given to both sides, and a single slight attempt to applaud one of Harvard's errors was drowned in a storm of hisses. The Nine were accompanied to Princeton Junction by a number of their Princeton friends, and were started on their homeward journey with an ovation of cheers and well wishes for the coming Yale game...

...first game of ball with Yale, as many of us know, is to be played to-morrow afternoon, and it is our duty to give the Nine all the encouragement in our power by sending a large delegation to New Haven. The liberal terms offered by the New York and New England road make it possible for many to go who have been prevented hitherto only by the expense; and the loss of time need not be so great, for it is perfectly possible, by leaving Boston in the nine o'clock morning train to reach New Haven in time...
