...Bostons Leonard led off, and was put out at first. O'Rourke made a base hit, got to third on Wright's failure to catch a ball thrown him by Ernst, and came home on Murnan's hit to short stop. Schafer closed the inning with a foul fly to catcher. On our side Holmes led off with a base hit, and stole second where he was left, the next three strikers retiring in order. The second inning resulted in a blank for the Bostons, Manning being left on second after making a clean...
...fifth is on that well-worn subject, Memorial Hall, and lays considerable stress on the fact of eight barrels of meat "in an advanced state of de-co position" having been seen hoisted from the cellar, and probably thrown away.

...Holworthy; but to transfer members from one club to the other would not radically improve the condition of the clubs as a whole. This should certainly be done, but the reform should be carried further. The boats, with the possible exception of the sixes and fours, should be thrown into one common stock; the four separate organizations should be fused into one, and the absurd restriction should be removed which prevents a member of Matthews from rowing in a double scull with a friend from Weld. For all purposes of emulation, the clubs would then be the same as before...
