Tyng caught extremely well, and had no passed balls The number of men (36) he put out behind the bat, as also the strikes (74), fully attest the effectiveness of Ernst's delivery. Wright played his base to perfection, although he shows an aversion to slow grounders. Thayer's sharp fielding was a prominent feature in Harvard's infield. Latham played superbly in the out-field, making some fine running fly-catches. Leeds played short-stop without errors, and made some valuable assistances. On the Manchester side Snigg proved to be the most troublesome pitcher the Nine have...
...subjoin a complete list of the entries for the meeting of the Athletic Association. Some of the events are pretty well filled, others not so well. But we think that, if the day proves favorable, the meeting will be a success. Arrangements have been made, as already stated in our last issue, with the Union Railway Horse-Car Company to run cars through from Harvard Square to Beacon Park. The Brighton cars from Bowdoin Square also pass directly in front of the gates of the Park; access to the grounds is thus rendered very easy...
...going first to the bat. They succeeded in obtaining one run, and managed to give their opponents a whitewash. In the second inning Harvard scored 2, Yale again retiring without a run.

In the seventh inning Fessenden made a beautiful hit out to right field, and sent...
...examinations all come in the same week. Highly gratified by this pleasing announcement, I go to lunch, to be entertained with the eternal talk about J. Cook and the Boston Transcript, the same remarks that I have heard every day for a week. By this time I am pretty well disgusted with life, and rush away from lunch to cool my body and my temper with a sherbet at Belcher's. Here I am met by a classmate, who talks about the war in Turkey. What do I care about Turkey? The other day I thought I ought to take...
...most astonishing development of base-ball possibilities yet recorded. Although the result was largely due to the remarkable efficiency of the pitching and the extreme deadness of the ball, yet it showed in a striking manner, and under the severest test, the superior fielding powers of our Nine, as well as their steady nerve and excellent discipline. The luck seemed to be entirely with the fielders as against the batsmen, but this always seems to be the way in a game where good fielding is done. The Nine have reason to congratulate themselves in having, by this game, secured...
