The days and dates for the games were as follows : Saturday, May 18, first game, in New Haven ; Saturday, May 25, second game, in Cambridge ; Monday, June 24, third game, in New Haven; Wednesday, June 26, fourth game in Cambridge; the day following the boat-race for the fifth game, and the place either Hartford or Providence.

Dow made a base-hit in the sixth, and reached second on Cogswell's muff; Wright had previously retired on first. Sawyer flied out to snigg, and Leeds's foul flied to Carl. In this inning Woodhead hit a hard liner to Ernst, who stopped...
