...York put in an appearance with only six men, Mr. Shaw having been injured in the game with the Unions of Boston in the morning, and the rest of the team, either being deemed superfluous or from other reasons, being left at home. The rules governing lacrosse provide that in case one side is short, players to the number of three may be withdrawn from the other side, but no more, and accordingly the six New Yorkers were obliged to face nine wearers of the crimson.

With a blow he laid...
...Four and five bend their arms too soon and shoot their hands up instead of straight out, as they ought. Three is very apt to get out of time, but his form is good generally. Two does not keep control of his neck, and bow does not put life enough into his stroke. Throughout the boat there is a looseness in managing the arms, but the time is generally good, and the backs are kept straight and in good form. On the whole, the crew is progressing as well as could be expected, and if proper work is done, there...
