...third time and the hit and run game was tried without success, as Hicks failed to hit the ball and Brown was out on the catcher's throw to second base. Hick's subsequent hit went for naught as Lanigan flied out to right field. Williams made a valiant attempt to win the game in the ninth inning, but the fielding of the University team pulled Hicks out of a bad hole. Two hits and a base on balls filled the bases with only one out. Templeton then sent a liner to Aronson and a run was prevented...
...thirteenth innings the tide turned in favor of the University team. Both times Williams failed to get a man to first. In the tenth Aronson astonished the Williams fielders by bunting down the third-base line. The Pitcher and third-baseman watched the ball in amazement and made no attempt to field it. Aronson stole second, and after Simons had sent a fly to right field, Dana was passed. Another inning was made necessary, however, as Crocker struck out. Brown opened the last half of the thirteenth with a fly to centre field. Hicks then met the ball squarely...
...home run and the possibility of winning instilled a little interest in the game. Brown was held without score in the last three innings, although three men got to first in the ninth. With two out in the last of the ninth the University team made its first real attempt to bring in runs by bunching hits. Lanigan singled over second base and Harvey hit to right field for two bases, scoring Lanigan. Harvey was left on second, however, as Currier was unable to hit Nourse...
...first game between Brown and the University team by bringing in two runs with a two-base hit, drove the ball to left centre for a home run. In the second inning three Brown men reached first, but a put-out at the plate on an attempted sacrifice prevented any scoring. In Brown's half of the next four innings the first man up each time got to first, but not until the sixth inning was another run produced. In that inning Staff hit to left and was advanced by Regnier's sacrifice that was fielded to second too late...
...Paull, the two Pennsylvania runners, had things all their own way and took the first two places. Paull seemed perfectly fresh, notwithstanding his record-breaking race in the mile earlier in the day. In all probability he could have beaten Beck and established another record, but he made no attempt to take better than second. On the final stretch he carefully gauged the distance between himself and French of Cornell, taking care to keep just out of reach. French in turn was in no danger of losing his position to Spitzer of Yale, who finished fourth...
