...Freshmen played an excellent game on Jarvis, yesterday, with a picked nine from Cambridge, including Tyng and Sawyer of the University. The Freshmen outplayed the picked Nine both in the field and at the bat. If they play as well to-morrow, the game with Yale will be very interesting. The score by innings stood...
...have played many games, and the gate-money taken has usually met their expenses, without leaving a surplus. This week they play two games, - one in Boston and the other in Taunton; and next week two on Jarvis.

But, to come back to my subject, the delight that I feel in imagining the ostracism of Swiddle is only equalled...
