They now came in for the ninth inning, and every effort was made to increase the lead. Hall led off with a long two-baser, at which the enthusiasm was boundless. Burt went out, Dilts to Chase. Bean struck the church for a two-baser, bringing Hall in and earning Harvard's second run. Le Moyne flied out to Dilts, Coolidge hit safely to centre, bringing in Bean. Olmsted made another drive to left for a single base and reached second on a passed ball, and Baker sent him home by a two-baser. Nichols sent up a high...
...hear that there is quite a boom in lacrosse this spring at Yale. Our men, who are becoming more and more indifferent, will need a fresh start if they hope to hold the lead, as they have done of late. '85 brought in several very fine players, but beyond these there seems to be no material forthcoming to make up the team in future years, and to add to the discomfort of the supporters of the game, several of the finest players will leave next year. With these facts in view, our prospects are threatening. And yet we dare assert...

With such a lead as we got in the first inning there was very little excuse for the nine going to pieces as it did further on in the game. However, let us hope that the result of this game was only another example of the uncertainties of base-ball. All hope...
...Yale News, in commenting on the chances of their nine in the race for the championship, evidently considers Harvard out of the fight. "Brown and Princeton," says the News, "have played in six and five games respectively and lead our nine in victories, with the same number of defeats." The News evidently considers Brown her most formidable rival. At present, counting the games lost by each team, Harvard, Yale and Brown are tied for first place. Brown leads in games won, but she has played more games than any other college. As the News remarks, however, it is impossible...
