Yesterday morning the Crimsons and Volunteers played their second game for the amateur championship. The game was the closest and best played of any, thus far, both sides playing an almost errorless game. For six innings both teams went out in one, two, three order, the work of the batteries being extremely effective. After that, the Volunteers, by timely hits and by an error of the second baseman of the Crimsons, scored the winning runs, as their lead was too great to be overcome.

May another Saturday bring us equally good news...
...game on Jarvis this afternoon between the Harvard and Princeton twelves promises to be a closely contested match, and an exhibition of very good lacrosse. Princeton, with an early start this spring, has played frequent matches with the best teams within her reach, and has been almost uniformly successful. Harvard has not been idle, and has not missed an opportunity to play with the strong twelves in and around Boston. We feel confident that the college will support the twelve this afternoon as well as it did in the Stevens game, and we hope the result will be as pleasing...
