...threw too quickly, and by his excusable error Clark got second. Later a passed ball gave him his run, which proved the first and last of Yale's accomplishments. In the sixth Leeds struck out, but Wright and Latham got their bases on good hits, and scored on bad errors by Clark. Sawyer got first on Clark's error; Thayer hit a hard one to Brown, who muffed it. Bigelow's bad error then gave Sawyer his run, making the third in this inning, which showed much demoralization on the part of Yale. Downer in this inning hit a safe...
...Nine played a strong batting game, as the score will show, but their fielding was not free from bad errors. Princeton's poor play in the field can, in a measure, be accounted for by more than a week's lack of practice, caused by the many rainy days of the previous week. We much regretted the injury to her catcher which compelled his retirement from the game, - another example of the fact that misfortunes never come singly. We can only wish them better luck next time. A more extended commentary than the appended score will be unnecessary...
...fourth inning, when, by a series of terrible errors, executed by Leeds and others, the Lowells were enabled to score six runs and tie the game. But in the next inning we again got a good lead, and all went well up to the eighth inning, when a bad muff of Wright's off a pretty throw by Dow from right field, gave the Lowells three runs and the lead. But our chances were still good until the Lowells, when about to take the field, were ordered to stop playing by their manager, who claimed there was an agreement...
...hard luck; but they have not even this poor satisfaction to offer. Theirs was not a defeat, it was a rout, which can only be wiped out by a corresponding victory next time. But what were the causes of this Waterloo? Dieu sait. For the numberless fielding errors only bad playing, hard luck, and general demoralization and discouragement can account for them. As to the batting - or rather the absence of batting - we must hold Carter largely responsible for the result. Not a base hit was made, - a record which Harvard has never before made, and let us hope that...
Wheaton led off with a fine base hit to left. Morgan was thrown out at first by Ernst. Bigelow then batted to Sawyer, but the ball, bounding from his hands, flew out into right, where it was again mishandled by Dow. These two bad errors gave Bigelow a life and Wheaton third and home. Williams was then fielded out at first by Thayer. For Harvard, Leeds struck out, and Tyng and Tower went out at first, after hits to second and third...
