...first inning Harvard made three runs, to one for Yale; in the second we again scored three, and Yale retired for nothing; but in the third, Nevins having been substituted for A very in the pitcher's position, we experienced a similar fate, Yale getting two. The Nine soon became accustomed to Nevin's eccentric underhand throws, and punished him for two, five, and two, in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, while New Haven only obtained a two and a one in the fifth and sixth.
