...Game was called at 2.35 with the Harvards at the bat. The first innings closed with a blank for both sides. In the second innings Kent got his first, Thayer went out, when Ernst got a heavy hit to left field which the fielder failed to get in front of, and before the ball could be returned home Kent and Ernst had both scored.

...that fashion will become common in this country in a few years. Even his room shows many hints of his character. Le Journal Amusant and European guide-books lie on his table.
