...pounded inning after inning. Scannell was missed. O'Malley played a plucky but ragged game. He showed weakness where steadiness was most needed. The batting was puny, and the fielding erratic. As usual, however, the worst feature was the head work. The nine did such work in base-running and in attempting put-outs as would have been expected from men just beginning to learn the game. Harvard men could not but be ashamed of these childish plays
...game. After Highlands had struck out Whittemore was hit by a pitched ball. Cook was the second out on a fly to centre. Dickinson for the second time was sent to first on called balls. A passed ball advanced both of the runners a base, and then Paine's timely single to right allowed both men to score.

Dickinson had to step off the bag to reach the ball and as he returned the ball to Cook, Otto was safe. Otto went down on the first ball and having reached second, started back to first as though he thought there had been a foul. Highlands and Dickinson caught him out and Dickinson also threw out Mackenzie who was trying to come in on the play. It was a clever attempt...
