...runs; but the professionals, by heavy striking and errors by Hodges, Thatcher, and Tyler, piled up 6 runs, and two runs in the seventh innings; Tower omitting to catch the ball before tumbling down. In the eighth, our Nine again failed to score, while the Bostons, by fine striking, especially a three-base hit by O'Rourke, scored 6 runs Hall quietly trotting home unnoticed amid the general demoralization. In the last innings, Kent scored an earned run; but Thatcher went out on a fly, and a double play vanquished Tower and Spinney. McVey then retired at first, Leonard reached...
...pride that our Nine did so well in their striking as to atone for their numerous faults and mishaps in the field; a result due chiefly to the splendid batting of Tyler, Kent, and Tyng. Hooper pitched in an almost faultless manner; while Thatcher promises to become a fine catcher, being charged with fewer errors than we have often seen committed by a veteran, though he needs to get the ball out of his hands a little quicker, when throwing to second base.

...Heaven and Earth" and "Cain," again, seem to me truer expressions of Byron's ideas than Manfred. There is that peculiar irreverence in both, especially in "Cain," with which he was so often stigmatized. They both abound in fine verses, both show deep thought. "Cain," I believe, develops some peculiar ideas on religion, some very fair reasoning, and curious statements, which, amongst all the grand imagery and marked characters, are apt to somewhat disturb the mind of a cursory reader. The object of these remarks is to suggest that Mr. Taine, in doing Byron's "Manfred" full justice, might have...
