...much so that we think the Lampoon might return to this method of arrangement with advantage. The paper contains many things that would hardly be considered appropriate to a Harvard paper, but much of this is chargeable to the proverbial weakness of a first number. Typographically the paper is perfect. Altogether, although the paper is far below what we expected, and although we fear for its lasting success, we look for much improvement in the subsequent numbers, and wish it long life and prosperity...
...perfect walk-over yesterday afternoon in their game with the South Boston Athletic Club nine whom they defeated in five innings by a score of 19 to 0. Winslow pitched and was supported by Crocker, Allen and Nichols playing in the out-field. The opposing nine were utterly unable to bat Winslow's pitching, and he had them completely in his hands. Both he and Crocker played a perfect game. All the other positions were very well filled, and only one error was made by the nine. The Athletic Club nine played a wretched fielding game. Finnerty, however, played...
Nichols completely puzzled the opposing nine and eight men struck out during the four innings in which he pitched. The best playing of the game was done by Allen, who held Nichols swift delivery with perfect ease. Winslow pitched well during the rest of the game, and was efficiently supported by Crocker. The Tremonts' fielding was very poor, and the nine was evidently demoralized by the absence of Fowler, their regular pitcher. Their best playing was done by Sullivan and Wood-man. For Harvard, Phillips and Winslow did the best batting, and White led the Tremonts...
...some things which attracted attention. The work of the regular battery seemed almost faultless and is an improvement over the performances of last year. Thus early are the good effects of the winter's cage work evident. The little fielding which was required of the men was almost perfect and if continued during the remainder of the season it will be impossible for many of our adversaries to reach first base on errors. The batting was the only place where much improvement is possible. Hard work in practice, the various matches during the month, and the advantage of a coach...
...each stroke, the men throughout the race rowing back and forth mechanically and deliberately as one body. There was no undue haste, as had been the case in previous races. The six men were as though molded into one, operating like the works of a well-regulated clock, in perfect unison and harmony. The result was a conservation of force, previously unknown in a boat. The test was a fair one in every respect. With a crew physically inferior to that of the preceding year, we easily defeated ten crews equal to those that rowed the year before...
