...batting record, and in the field made a pretty running catch that closed the game. Olmsted played with even more than usual brilliancy, catching four difficult flies, one of them a hard line hit that seemed impossible to get; he also assisted in putting out Watson, who attempted to come home on his safe three-base hit. Folsom at first base played without an error, and assisted in a double play, throwing the ball to Alger and thus cutting off Badger at home, who had run on Parker's hit to Winsor.

The chief interest in this case centred around the heart, which the surgeons took especial care to dissect. On cutting away the pericardium, the aorta was found to wear a greenish hue, attributable, I was told, to the tender age of the subject.
