...Harvard nine played well, Henshaw's and Gallivan's work being especially good. Boyden pitched a strong game, striking out eight men and holding Pennsylvania down to three scattered hits. For Pennsylvania, Nellins caught a good game in spite of three passed balls. His throwing to second was very accurate, putting out five men. The umpiring of Mr. Clarkson of the Bostons was very acceptable. Following is the score...
...third game form Princeton this afternoon by a score of 15 runs to 4.

Yet such was the penalty that the court of Cambridge saw fit to inflict on the aforesaid freshmen. When thieves can systematically steal with a small risk of detection, in spite of the watchful vigilance of those in charge of the gymnasium, and when, if detected, they can go scott free by paying a sumequal to not one quarter of what they stole, it is not likely that the evil will be abolished very soon, Such outrageous, make-believe justice, will...
