...only remains to keep up the good work until the 30th, when they will enter upon the decisive struggle with the chances largely in their favor...
...excellent playing of our pitcher and catcher, the backbone of the Nine. Tyng's batting was something immense; his old reliable black-walnut bat knocking Carter's "effectiveness" into thin air. Ernst pitched in a way that none of those Yale fellows could find out, and he, too, did good work at the bat. The bases were splendidly played, their guardians never failing to do their duty, however difficult.

While the duty of the College domestic seems to be the spreading of dust at an equal depth all over the room, the servants in Beck work as if they had seen good furniture before, and knew how to take care of it. Any one who has seen the interior of rooms in that building will acknowledge that a degree of cleanliness is there maintained which is unknown in Weld, Matthews, or Holworthy...
