...took first on called balls. He successfully stole second and went to third on Carter's wild throw. His dives into second and third were marvellous and amusing. Tyng then commenced his series of hard hits by a beauty to the left, on which Thayer scored. Ernst hit safe to right, and Tyng scored. Two runs to begin with, which were loudly cheered. To Yale the first three innings yielded no returns, no man reaching first base. Wheaton's hit in the first inning was well taken by Latham. In the third Tyng made a glorious three-base drive down...
...quick blank for Yale. Thayer gets his base on Wheaton's error and steals second. Ernst flies out to Brown. Thayer is thrown out by short stop to third, and Latham goes out at second in a vain attempt to steal. Brown begins the third inning with a safe hit, but is soon put out at second by a nice bound catch of Sawyer's from Tyng's low throw. Wheaton sends Dow a fly, and Morgan goes out on Thayer's pretty throw to first. Wright, Dow, and Sawyer put out at first in rapid succession by short hits...

...annual races. For several years, however, it has not been put up at all; and it bears no record of the few crews who have won it. We have, then, for our races, two valuable cups which have been for some time occupying an almost unknown grave in the safe at the Bursar's office. They have been recently brought to light, and are now to be completely disinterred and again devoted to their proper use as prizes in the Spring Races. The Graduates' Cup, which is much the larger, and is altogether quite an elegant article...
...Bostons came in to take their last inning, their first two men, Schafer and W. White, went out in order, and every one thought that we had the game in our own hands. George Wright, however, got his base on called balls, and Leonard and J. White followed with safe hits. Three runs were scored, leaving the game four to two in favor of the Bostons. This game was lost, as was the preceding, by hard luck in not getting our base-hits in at the right time. There were several times during the game when a good base...
