...runs, and two runs in the seventh innings; Tower omitting to catch the ball before tumbling down. In the eighth, our Nine again failed to score, while the Bostons, by fine striking, especially a three-base hit by O'Rourke, scored 6 runs Hall quietly trotting home unnoticed amid the general demoralization. In the last innings, Kent scored an earned run; but Thatcher went out on a fly, and a double play vanquished Tower and Spinney. McVey then retired at first, Leonard reached it on an error of Hodges, and O'Rourke sent a high fly for which Tyler, Hodges...
...these sort of considerations are not apt to be uppermost in the thoughts of the student while spending, his vacation amid the gayeties of city life. In fact, if we may take Harvard men in New York as an example, their thoughts seem quite as much taken up with the alluring frivolities of the metropolis as with moralizing on the sterner problems of life which underlie them.

In this order, and without much change in the relative positions, they crossed that famous "diagonal," amid a storm of cheers and shouts of "Yale!" "Yale!" Now the blue was everywhere proudly displayed, and the incidents of the race were gone over again and again. Gradually the excitement subsided, and as the moments went by it was evident that another dreary time of waiting was inevitable...
...failed to score; Yale came to the bat in good spirits, while our men showed a nervousness which they rarely exhibit in the field. The first striker sent a fly in Cutler's vicinity, and he took it neatly. The second at the bat succeeded in making his run, amid great excitement of the spectators, and through very bad play by our men. Hooper was pitching in a rather demoralized manner; and as the next striker for Yale took his position, he received whispered instructions from his captain, these, of course, being to wait for called balls. Out of five...
