...question of the Yale freshman race is again up for discussion. Ninety refused the challenge, while eighty-nine accepted it. There is, consequently, a precedent both for refusing and for accepting. Two races by the freshmen would be folly. The New London course is unfit for more than two crews, so a race between three crews would be folly likewise. The freshmen cannot throw Columbia overboard as ninety lost the race last year. If they accept the Yale challenge they will do it with their eyes open. Some answer should be sent soon...
...header over it during the game. Home plate, as I said before, was not removed till a player had to be carried away from previous contact with it. These things were all owing to the gross negligence of the managers; but with every precaution, the ground is dangerous and unfit to play on: it is covered with cinders, full of holes, has a running track and a base-ball diamond on it, and above all, is absurdly small.

The man seemed wholly unfit for his position. Harvard will protest him, and Mr. Fulmer will probably never have an opportunity to umpire another game in the College League. Both teams suffered from his decisions, but Harvard was by far the greater sufferer, His decisions on balls and strikes, and his base decisions were equally...
