...Thayer took first on an error by pitcher, stole second, and scored on a hot grounder of Ernst's which the third base failed to stop. Dow closed the inning by giving the short stop an easy fly. For Brown, Nickerson reached first by Thatcher's missing the third strike, Salisbury retired on a foul fly to Thayer, Tyler struck to Sawyer and was put out at first. Comstock batted a hot grounder through Leeds and took his second, Nickerson in the mean while scoring. Lee followed with a base hit bringing in Comstock. Griffin reached first on an error...
...baths have stopped running entirely; this, we understand, being done by order of the College. Perhaps the authorities consider that we have had a sufficient number of baths this year, or that the warmth of the season enables us to wash with cold water; but it really does not strike us in that light.

There is 'Rope,' 'Flour,' and 'four Policemen,' who kept the ground, we may presume, on the occasion of the match on Jarvis Field. The bed-makers at Harvard appear to be called 'Goody,' as a term of general opprobrium or endearment...
...score 9 to 7 in our favor, and it is not too much to say that they have never gained so creditable a victory. The pitcher for the Princeton is one of the best we have yet played against, and his delivery is a very trying one to strike. The ball comes in a perfect line till within a short distance of the home plate, when it suddenly swerves from its course and passes beyond the reach of the striker. The play on the third base was excellent. Kent's play on the first base was magnificent. Hooper, as usual...
