When, however, the statement is made that "in the opinion of Harvard,-a neutral body,-Yale is the champion for 1884," we confess that the fancy is carried a little too far. Harvard expressly stated, in a mass meeting of the students, that she did not agree with nor approve the sentiments expressed in the letter sent down by three private individuals to Yale, and we would call the attention of Captain Richards and the Yale News to this statement again.

Yale, however, would have had a great advantage on account of the short distance from New Haven. I then stated that we would play at Springfield, which place is generally selected as neutral ground.

Yale refused to play the game at Cambridge, but accepted the Boston base ball grounds, where the game was played, and where, contrary...
