...Harvards won the toss, and after "skunking" their opponents were themselves served in like manner, though Annan secured his first base by a fine hit. The next two innings added nothing to the score; but in the fourth the line was broken, and each side scored one run, without, however, earning it. A fine one-hand stop and throw to first by White marked the fielding of the Harvards in this inning.

The writers of this style of poetry have been so well and so often satirized that one can hardly speak of them without trespassing upon ground already occupied; but, to distinguish them beyond a doubt, it may be said that, of this school, William Morris, perhaps, stands upon the highest round of the ladder of respectability, and Walt Whitman upon the lowest...
