Harvard's battery work was excellent, Paine only allowing one hit to be made off him and having nine strike outs to his credit; he was, however, rather wild, allowing six bases on balls. He also fielded well, making five assists and no errors. The fielding of the rest of the team was fair, but the men played in a rather too confident way and did not exert themselves enough. Stevenson seems to have improved a great deal in form since last year; he handles himself better and is much quicker and surer. Hayes made one bad fumble, but redeemed...
...awkward in sliding as at first, although they are still very slow at starting. The fielding is rather cleaner and the men seem to be learning how to handle the ball. On the other hand, the throwing, especially after fumbles is apt to be very wild. S. W. Lewis 1900, H. Foster '98, and A. Davis '98 have been taking turns at playing first base and of these Lewis has so far showed up rather the best, although the others have been doing well...
...popular sport. The complete story is "The Story of a Penny Pencil," by Sarah Addison Wedderburn, who displays a mastery of the pathetic. "The Canoe Camp at Grindstone," and "Racing Schooners," are by R. B. Burchard. Ed. W.

(a) He would owe his election to Populist votes. (b) He would be compelled to appoint Populists to office. (c) He would have to seek Populist support in Congress. (3) He has shown himself to be personally dangerous to the country...
...infielders played a steady gme, and behind the bat Scannell gave Paine the best of support. His error was a wild throw of a bunt near the plate. The finest play of the game was a running catch by Burgess in deep left field of a long hit by Altman, which looked good for three bases. Rand made an almost equally good catch of a fly which dropped through the branches of the willows. Burgess, however, misjudged, and then muffed another fly, and both he and Clarkson fumbled badly on Smith's hit in the tenth inning...
