Following is a schedule of the games of the scrub nines for the coming week. All games will be played on Norton's field at four o'clock except on the days when the 'varsity has a game. On these afternoons the games will be played at 2 o'clock...
...score would indicate. Only four men struck out, and they hit the ball as hard and as often as Yale, but directly into the fielders' hands. Yale had very good luck in getting her hits between the bases, while their infielders had hardly to stir from her tracks except in two instances. The Yale men, however, played a much more wide-awake game than Harvard, and ran bases with plenty of dash. Upton backed up Downer well but was off in his throwing to second, and he allowed men to steal third on him several times Howland's work...

The wicket was soft and bumpy, and prevented accurate bowling, while the long grass in the outfield made it difficult to get even two runs, except off boundary hits.

On the contrary he is a reformer, a preacher of righteousness, a man of affairs, concerned with the present, and rarely, if ever, looking to the future except to draw thence new arguments for in fluencing the lives of his contemporaries. The picture of the future is such as is needed by the present. Isaiah and Jeremiah present the gloomy prospect of captivity in Assyria and Babylon, while a later prophet, just before the exile period closes, points in glowing terms...
