They made two more runs in the sixth on a base on balls, and a hit by Campbell, a fumble by Harkins, and two in the eighth on hits by Foster, Willard and Henshaw, and a two-baser by Boyden.

In base-ball curves there is no room for chance to come in; at least we may neglect such slight differences as may arise from local peculiarities...

For Mr. Buckland's bowling proved altogether too much for the best of the base-ball batsmen. Again and again did these players, keen to track the ball curving through the air, fail to follow the break of the ball from the ground, nearly every ball going past the bat, though it had seemed to them that with such...
