...second inning resulted in a quick blank for Yale. Thayer gets his base on Wheaton's error and steals second. Ernst flies out to Brown. Thayer is thrown out by short stop to third, and Latham goes out at second in a vain attempt to steal. Brown begins the third inning with a safe hit, but is soon put out at second by a nice bound catch of Sawyer's from Tyng's low throw. Wheaton sends Dow a fly, and Morgan goes out on Thayer's pretty throw to first. Wright, Dow, and Sawyer put out at first...
...Friday the Nine played with the professional Manchesters, and, after a game of twenty-four innings, decided to call the game a draw, the score standing zero to zero. This is by far the most remarkable game on record; and the inability to score was due not only to the dead ball, but also to Ernst's puzzling delivery and the brilliant fielding of the Manchesters. The game was called at 3 P. M. by Mr. Holmes, '78, the Harvards being at the bat. Both Nines retired in striking order for the first two innings, three of the Manchesters falling...
...Base-Ball on Saturday last. The weather was most favorable, and the number of spectators was quite large. Game was called about three o'clock, our men going first to the bat.

During the next three innings neither side scored; and up to this point the game was remarkably well played, and the errors were few. In the sixth inning our Freshmen made four runs, and the Yale men made three. There were...
...famous twenty-four inning game, played during the past week by our Nine and the Manchesters, is the most astonishing development of base-ball possibilities yet recorded. Although the result was largely due to the remarkable efficiency of the pitching and the extreme deadness of the ball, yet it showed in a striking manner, and under the severest test, the superior fielding powers of our Nine, as well as their steady nerve and excellent discipline. The luck seemed to be entirely with the fielders as against the batsmen, but this always seems to be the way in a game where...
...Saturday last between the University Nine and the Live Oaks proved quite an interesting one. The fielding of both Nines was very good, but the batting, owing to effective pitching on both sides, was quite weak; the so-called weak strikers came to our rescue, however, in the fifth inning, and saved the situation. While all played well, a beautiful one-hand stop by Leeds, and several excellent pick-ups by Wright, are worthy of special mention. Below is the full score...
