...their class nines. In addition to those mentioned, Palmer, '88, pitcher of the '88 nine, and Edgerley, '86, may play. Seven members of last year's nine and three substitutes are in college, and intend to play. The strongest batsmen remain, although the absence of Beaman, '85, the third baseman, who was a hard hitter, will be felt.

...first Harvard-Dartmouth game was played yesterday afternoon at 4 P. M., before an audience of about 1000. The game opened with Harvard at the bat.

The facts of the case were that the third baseman of the Harvard, '88, team happened to be in the way of a Yale base runner, who, in retaliation in the most inexcusable way, kicked the Harvard man. We can say with truth that an incident of this sort has never happened before in Cambridge on college grounds between any two opposing nines...
