Two men had gone out and Quinby, Yale's most uncertain batter, stood at the plate. He was wise, and Pitcher Altman was unsteady, and a base on balls was the result. Quinby started to steal second just as Speer cracked out a corking single to Easton at centre. Easton slammed the ball rather recklessly into the centre of the diamond, aiming to hold...

His exhibition was acceptable, beginning at about thirty-four strokes to the minute and increasing at the last mile to about thirty-seven. The men all stood the work well, and in spite of the usual talk about trouble in the Yale crew, they showed themselves to be a bit better than last year's eight.
