...stop and throw to first by White marked the fielding of the Harvards in this inning. The fifth inning was a "blinder" for both sides; and in the sixth, after the Bostons had been retired for two runs, the Harvards went in, and, by a little fumbling on the part of their opponents, aided also by White's two-base hit to centre, secured two runs. Thus the game was still a tie at the beginning of the seventh inning. But now the professionals begin to realize their danger, and, bending to their work, succeed for the first time...

On the contrary, the chest is one of the parts most benefited, and by the quickly succeeding contractions and expansions necessary to sustain a rapid gait, the lungs are constantly receiving fresh invoices of purer air than any indoor exercise will admit of. We know of a case where a young man who had lost his voice so as to be unable to speak above a whisper entirely regained it by a walk...
