...according to the strict letter of the agreement, - which the Lowells, before this point was discovered, were vehemently insisting on, since they were one ahead, while from their own statement they would not have stopped had they been behind, - the game should have been thrown back on to the seventh inning or forfeited to us, as our men were willing and anxious to go on. The umpire, however, not seeming to understand all the features of the case, gave the game to the Lowells, who departed glorying in their shame...
...error, steals second on Sawyer's slow handling of Tyng's pretty throw, but he is left as Clark retires on a short grounder to Leeds. During this and the following inning we again show our inability to hit Carter. In the sixth Yale also quickly retires. In the seventh Carter hits safe to right. Brown puts a hot one through Leeds on which Carter tries to get home, but he is cut off by Sawyer's throw to Tyng. Morgan and Bigelow go out, leaving Brown and Wheaton. Leeds gets first on a doubtful fly between second and centre...
...Cogswell's muff; Wright had previously retired on first. Sawyer flied out to snigg, and Leeds's foul flied to Carl. In this inning Woodhead hit a hard liner to Ernst, who stopped its force, and Leeds very prettily caught it on the fly from his hands. In the seventh Tyng hit hard to Blogg, who caught it well. Tower followed with a base-hit, reached second on Carl's poor throw, and third on Thayer's base-hit. The ball was then in Woodhead's hands, who tossed it to pitcher; and Thayer attempted to reach second...
...neither side scored; and up to this point the game was remarkably well played, and the errors were few. In the sixth inning our Freshmen made four runs, and the Yale men made three. There were several very bad plays on both sides, over throws in particular. In the seventh inning Fessenden made a beautiful hit out to right field, and sent the ball far beyond the ropes. He brought two men home and reached third himself. At this point the Yale Captain interposed. He objected to Fessenden getting three bases on a ball that went outside the ropes...
...fusi, and the line is very jerky. Risit would have scanned as well, and suited the other tenses better. In line sixth, coronae cannot begin a hexameter, nor comam end one; moreover, cutting off a diphthong between the two short syllables of a dactyl is very unclassical. Of line seventh we can make nothing at all. The quantities run ____V ____V ____V ____VV ____, which no human power can get into a verse. But we strongly doubt if the translator knew that the em in falcem would go out before et, since line eight can only be scanned...
