...return game came off at New Haven yesterday between the '78 Nines of Yale and Harvard, proving to be quite the opposite of the first one played here, both in excellence, in playing, and result. Harvard, as usual, lost the "toss," but succeeded in scoring three runs by good hits. Yale was even more fortunate, obtaining four runs entirely by errors. This lead was kept throughout, but greatly augmented by an addition of eight runs in one innings.

Without further introduction, I will proceed to recount the result of the series of observations which has led me to believe that knemidology is capable of reduction to the form of as exact and logical a science as its loftier brother...
...together. Their recover was, however, too much of that "elastic leap" which used to be so common, and which always looks so very "racy." Weld and Holyoke both had better individual polish than the Holworthy crew, but they lacked that certain and firm catch together, which is only the result of long pulls by the same crew, behind the same steady stroke...
