...game was called at 3.30 P. M. in the midst of a drizzling rain, George Hiller of New Haven being accepted conditionally as umpire by Capt. Thayer, as neither Sumner nor Reach, the specified umpires, was present. Harvard took the bat, and in the first three innings retired in striking order; Winsor alone reaching first on a hot liner to left field which Brown failed to hold, and in attempting to reach third was fielded out by Smith. Parker hit for a base, but was beautifully fielded out by Tyng to Latham. Smith took his base on balls, but fell...
...fail when they introduce an irrelevant romantic element. The chief merit of "Tom Brown at Rugby" is that it tells exclusively of school life; the chief defect of "Tom Brown at Oxford," and one which Mr. Severance has unfortunately imitated, is that college life is made of secondary importance. Neither Mr. Hughes nor Mr. Severance is a first or even second rate novelist, - both are very successful as historians of their boyhood's experience...
...last annual report I proved by figures that, while we welcome hither alike the sons of the rich and the sons of the poor, the college is mainly recruited from the independent, well-to-do class, who are neither very rich nor very poor. For a poor man with brains Harvard is, I believe, the cheapest college in the country, because of our large scholarship funds. For a poor student without brains it is not to be recommended. I not infrequently have heard apprehension expressed lest, in consequence of the number of our scholarships, good scholarship should come...
...college. The day was exceedingly unpropitious for base-ball, a high wind prevailing which blew directly in the face of the batsmen. Owing to afternoon recitations at Princeton, game was called at 12 o'clock, with Harvard at the bat. The game opened well for an exciting contest, as neither side scored in the first inning, notwithstanding Furman's base-hit. In the second inning, after two men were out, a fumble of Hunt's, errors by Funkhouser and Furman, and base-hits by Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left...
...Harvard Freshmen, Folsom's play at first was the best feature of the game. Coolidge at second, and W. A. Howe also did finely. In the seventh inning, with two on bases by clean hits, Cruger pitched so effectively that three men went out on strikes, neither of the base-runners securing a run. Elliott at short was fortunate in having so good a player on first, for his throws were not up to their usual standard...
