...plays produced great and merited applause. In the third inning with the bases full and one man out, Skinker knocked a foul which it seemed impossible for Corbett to catch. Corbett, however, thought differently. He made a wonderful running catch and turned quickly enough to field out at the plate the Yale man who had tried to come in from third, thus retiring the side. Case pitched a better game than Minton, striking out ten men to the latter's two. Quigley played prettily at short and Cabot well at third except for one very costly error. Lowell and Dickinson...
...Helen in Sparta did not vie with the luxury of Mycenae. In some tombs opened at Mycenae by Dr. Schlieman in 1876, were found numerous coins and gold and silver vessels of great value. One tomb containing the body of a man which had become a fossil, contained gold plate and coins which weighed 100 pounds and whose value was $25,000. Dr. Schlieman opened in all 6 tombs and found many valuable relics of gold, silver and bronze. These tombs are all thought to belong to the mythical age before the Dorian invasion of the Peloponnesus. Tiryns like Mycenae...
Harvard made her runs in the second and fourth. In the second Trafford and Frothingham got their base on balls and Trafford came home on Alward's base hit to centre. Frothingham and Alward both went out at the plate, the latter being forced. Mason hit safely to left, took second while Frothingham was being put out at the plate, third on an attempted put out, and came home on Soule's base hit. Cobb had meanwhile got to first on the put out of Frothingham, and to second on the attempted put out. He also came in on Soule...
...some time during almost every game of base ball a slide to the plate becomes a necessity, and it is idle to say that it "is not to be thought of;" it must be made, and yesterday a candidate for one of the class nines found this out, very much to his cost, He was trying to make home on a short infield hit, and to do so a slide was absolutely necessary. He made the slide and scored the run, but in doing so his left foot struck the side of the wooden post which serves as a plate...
...practice game with the freshmen on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. The batteries exchanged so that Bates pitched for the freshmen and Minton for the 'varsity. The Ninety-four team was very unsteady at first and threw all over the field, and as the balls were simply tossed over the plate, the 'varsity made over a dozen runs in the first inning. After this, however, the freshmen displayed a little more judgment and were steadier. Soule took Dean's place and Mason played third. After the game Clarence Smith and Frederick Thayer, who invented the catcher's mask, spent some time...
