...lead, until at Exeter street, after an exciting struggle the Weld Crew spurted and led by a quarter-of-length. Here Weld was rowing 36 strokes to the Riversides 38. The Riversides began clipping their stroke and bow, two and stroke weakened visibly. The Weld Crew was rowing in splendid form and finished strong, about a lenth and a half ahead. None of the men showed signs of exhaustion, but it was not thought advisable to enter the intermediate eight-oared race against a fresh crew.

...effective as he was in the last two games at Providence. During most of the game he had good control but in the fourth inning he gave three bases on balls and allowed one hit, which, with an error by Dean, gave Brown two runs.

The true greatness of a journal is not to be measured by its circulation, but by the truth it tells and the influence it wields...
...game was rather loosely played, Harvard had much the better team and excelled both in the field and at the bat. Paine pitched a steady and effective game and allowed U. of P. but seven hits. He was well supported by Scannell who caught and threw to bases in splendid form...
