...side and then the other gained the lead. Harvard played well at the critical points, but at other times her work in the field was careless. She batted well straight through, but failed to bunch her hits very successfully. By far the worst point of the team was the base running, which was execrable. If Yale's had not been almost equally as bad, the game would surely have gone to the men from New Haven.

Harvard was first at the bat. Wood got his base on third baseman's error, stole second and third, and came home on Evans' long fly to centre.

S., caught, while Henshaw played right field. McLeod struck out four men and Ware three. Harvard got one three base hit by Dean, and Brown two single hits. Brown's run was earned. The game was played with energy by each side and promised to be both close and interesting...
