Harvard went first to the bat and scored at once on Gallivan's hit for three bases to right field, and Ames' muff of Dana's throw on an attempt to cut him off at the plate. The visitors made their only runs in their first inning, when they should have been blanked. Wagenhurst struck out. Durell hit a long fly to centre which Boyden misjudged and dropped. Henshaw had two passed balls in succession, the only ones of the game, giving Durell third. Dana struck out. With two men out and Durell on third, Hutchinson knocked to short, which...
...delination of character "The Barber's Romance" is successful to the end. Pride and self-assertion compromised by marriage is the theme. But beside others, the story has this additional merit, that, as the writer says-and no one after reading would attempt to contradict him-the plot is founded on facts.

Price and Dana both struck...
Knowlton opened the seventh inning by a base on balls, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch by King and scored on Willard's hit to left. Willard was put out in an attempt to steal second and Henshaw fouled out to Ames. For Princeton, Watt's made a hit, stole second but was left there by the weak batting of the next three...
