...game exceedingly lively for any team they play against. They defeated Brown recently without much difficulty, and have beaten several other strong college teams. Stafford, who is pitching for the nine, is an exprofessional, having pitched for the Worcester team for two or three seasons. Besides being a good pitcher he is a heavy batter; two years ago in the games between Worcester and Harvard his batting was the feature of the games. O'Neil, the first baseman, is another player who has made a reputation for himself. Captain Anson, of the Chicago team, thinks that O'Neil...
Turner, the Andover pitcher, has great speed and has proved very effective during the past season. Rustin, Hinkey and Murphy all are first class men. When the nines are so evenly matched it is hard to predict the winner. Exeter has been slightly the favorite until lately when Andover has come up greatly. The two nines will be made up as follows: Exeter-Phelan, l. f.; Lighthall, 1b; Ewing, c. f.; Kent, 3b.; Bissell. c.; Brown, s. s.; Chamberlin, r. f.; Burleigh, 2b.; Howe, p.

...eighth served to put Morrill's team out of the race. The nine did not play as clean a game in the field as usual, though the play improved much towards the end of the game, and some brilliant plays were made. Wiggin was given a chance in the pitcher's box, and made an excellent showing. Morrill's men got only four clean hits, and twelve of them struck out. The home run which Cloney made in the fifth inning would not have been good for more than three bases if Alward had not found it difficult to pick...
