...that our chances of success are few. Others who have been carefully comparing each score as it reaches us are in a much more hopeful frame of mind. We sympathize entirely with the latter, and shall wait until the next game is lost before giving up the hope of winning the series, and the championship. The match with Amherst on Wednesday has strengthened our hopes. Ernst's pitching in the fourth and fifth innings was particularly fine. Howe's catching throughout the game was marred by one error only, and that one gained the other side no advantage. Tyng...
...attendance of 2,500 persons witnessed Yale win a second victory from Harvard on Saturday last. A lack of confidence seemed to pervade the Nine, probably owing to the forced absence of Tyng.

In conclusion, we offer them our best wishes for all sorts of good fortune in the future, and a little more prudence...
...professional ranks. That it would be a bitter pill for an English crew, composed possibly of English blue blood, to be defeated by a crew of horny-fisted American carpenters, every one must see; still, as the English sporting motto is supposed to be "Let the best man win," it would seem that our transatlantic cousins might suppress their aristocratic pride in the interest of "fair play," of which we hear so much, but see so little...
