...make a rush, and when a rusher does get the ball, he generally loses it, either when he is tackled, or by reckless passing. There is plenty of passing done, altogether too much in fact, for the chief idea of the man with the ball seems to be to throw the ball away when he is caught, in the vain hope of one of his own side getting it; but of good backing up and of real careful passing there is almost none.

...resumed, and in one minute Montreal added one more to her score. Shortly after, the ball was faced again. Williams secured it, dodging finely, slipped and fell hut recovered himself in time to get the ball again and passed it to the attack. Soon Nichols got a free throw on account of a foul by Carlind.

For Harvard, Beaman got his base on balls, and went to second on a passed ball, but careless base running resulted in his being put out between second and third. Tilden hit hard for two bases to right field, and was followed by Nichols, who drove the ball to long left field for a home run. Willard...
