...nine, there is no reason to feel discouraged about our prospects. For the first 7 innings the game was sharply contested, and the superiority of play evidently lay with the Harvards. The batting of the nine was strong. Nichols excelled in this respect, placing to his credit a 3 baser, 2 baser and a single. White's work as pitcher was especially gratifying; not a hit was made off his delivery until the seventh innings and only four during the whole game. He fielded his position for all it was worth, and made several beautiful stops of hard-hit balls...
