...constituted that, by the act of prying the cover, a portion of the nail is removed, and you will readily see that by changing fingers in opening the cover, all necessity of cutting one's nails will be avoided, thus saving time and trouble. Upon opening this cover a second one is seen, having a similar nail attachment. This second nail business is merely a finishing touch to the first, and has never been known to fail. This second cover has, as you see, two holes, which serve as keyholes, the one to wind the watch, the other to turn...
...Nine was composed for the most part of new men, or of those who had appeared for the first time the previous year. Hooper pitched, but his delivery had ceased to be effective; Thatcher caught; Kent, the captain, played first base; F. W. Thayer, '78, second; Leeds, short stop; Tyng, third; with Tower, Ernst, and Latham in the field. Sixteen games were played, of which only seven were won. Yale won the series in two consecutive games of 9 to 4, and 11 to 4, respectively. Three games with the Bostons proved more disastrous than usual. The Princeton...
...drawn. Very strong professional nines were played, and beaten, as, for instance, the Lowells, 3 to 1; Bostons, 7 to 6; Rhode Islands, 11 to o; and the Fall Rivers, 6 to 3. Only one game in the college series was a defeat, and that was the second with Yale, in which the score stood 6 to 7 in favor of the blue. The Nine, imitating the example of the champions of '70, took a trip after Commencement and went as far south as Philadelphia. Leeds led the batting this year, with a record of .503 for total base hits...
...were lost by a hair's-breadth, and we were led to attribute this result to "hard luck;" but we think that the causes of our ill-success lie deeper than that. The base-running, on the whole, has been poor, and it is safe to say that the second game, if no other, with Yale, was lost through this deficiency. The fielding has been fair, with two or three exceptions; while the batting has been extremely variable. The great trouble has been in finding a catcher; but we think that had adequate efforts been made during the winter this...
...three by representatives of '83, all of whom will probably represent the College for the next two and three years at Mott Haven. In fact, the only member of the Team who will not be here next year is Mr. F. B. Keene, '80, who took second prize in the Standing High and the Pole Vault, so we may hope for some success next year, too, if the men will train carefully. The results of training were certainly capitally exemplified at our own Spring Meeting, as well as at Mott Haven, and we think that our athletes...
