Johnny Boivin, the champion "violon-neux" of the province, bent to his old fiddle and played his songs. They were none of them insipid tunes or silly ones? he played the songs which women sing for spinning, the slow songs sung in the fields by men working, songs for stars and ploughshares...
...Yale runs came in the second frame, on two hits, three walks, three errors, and a hit batter. The last four innings of the game were slow and listless, except for the two Eli double plays.
