...Freshman baseball nine will play Phillips Exeter Academy this afternoon at Exeter, N. H. During the last two days the Freshman team has made a decided improvement in batting and fielding, and has shown better judgment than heretofore. Although Exeter has fair material, the team is weak in batting and inaccurate in fielding. Over two weeks ago, the University team defeated Exeter by the score of 11 to 0 in a poorly played six-inning game, in which Exeter made ten errors and only three hits...

Owing to the poor stick-work and shooting of the attack, several opportunities to score against the weak defense of the New York College team were lost. Although the passing was still inaccurate, the men show improvement and are learning to handle their sticks better. Individually K. K. Smith played the best game for the University...
