...only remains to keep up the good work until the 30th, when they will enter upon the decisive struggle with the chances largely in their favor...
...glorious one, a lively breeze being the only objectionable feature. The Nines were promptly on the field, each presenting its full strength, and all showing by their preliminary practice the results of careful work, and vigorous determination to win or die hard. But great are the uncertainties of base-ball! Yale entered the contest confident of victory; a confidence theoretically well founded, but practically disastrous to reputation and pocket.
