...than ten minutes before they could be placed in position. The Cambridge Fire Department was as inefficient as can well be imagined. Late to arrive, they went to work without any controlling head, and their hose was so poor that it broke twice. Much furniture was destroyed by being thrown recklessly out of the windows, while a great deal was injured by water. The lesson that this fire should teach the Corporation is very evident. Although they are willing to run the risk of financial loss from fire, they are bound to consider the number of lives that they...
...strong and steady grip of the water, and to save the additional exertion formerly used in putting the blade back. In feathering, the blade will be horizontal instead of at an angle of forty-five degrees. As soon as the blade is far enough back, the head is thrown back, and the catch is immediate and strong. Instead of continuing the slide to a definite number of inches, the whole is used, thus giving the legs sufficient opportunity to do their work. When the men are ready to receive the word "go," the seat is well under the body...

...Inning. Walden and Hopkins knock easy flies to Coolidge; Watson earns first, and is running to third on a hit to the out-field by Ripley, but he is thrown out, by Winsor to Holden. This brilliant play saves a run. Tyng, for Harvard, goes out on a fly to right-field; Ernst reaches first base on a missed third-strike; Wright steps up to bat, and earns two bases on a long liner out to left field, bringing Ernst home, amidst great excitement. Winsor gets to second by an error of centre-field; and a base-hit will give...
...Inning. Hutchinson drives the ball to Holden, who throws it to Wright; Parker, more successful, gets to first on a missed third-strike, - Tyng's only error, - but is thrown out at second, by a neat double play. Harvard's batters again fail to earn first, and the score is still 4 to 1 for Yale...
