...five to fifty cents. The base-ball club has never been a needy organization; in fact, it has always had more money than it could convenrently spend, and this too when reserved seats were thought to be worth only twenty-five cents. With this fact in view it is rather hard to understand the action of the present manager. Games to-day are no better than they were last year or the year before, and need of money is certainly the only excuse that would justify the management in raising the price of seats.

A police officer who thinks he rules the world simply because he wears brass buttons and carries a club...
Harvard being more than forty per cent behind her opponents, was forced to follow on, and by rather careful play succeeded in obtaining 40 runs, though there was again only one contribution of double figures. So the match was concluded with Longwood as victors by an inning and 37 runs. The Longwood bowlers were Wright, Dutton, and Hubbard: the Harvard bowlers were Ellis, Barrow, Brown and Balch...
