Below we give the averages of the Harvard Base Ball Club for the past season...
...sharp as in the previous game, the positions of the two Nines seemed just reversed; the King Philips made no headway against Hooper's pitching, while the Harvards took hold of their pitching from the first. Eustis made a home-run, and Annan, White, and Estabrooks two-base hits. In fact, the game was virtually won in the first inning; the Harvards making eight runs. The fielding in the seventh inning was decidedly loose; Hooper, by a throw too wild even for Tyler to get, gave the King Philips two runs. Madigan, of the King Philips, made a beautiful running...

White caught very well; Tyler played his base well; and Cutler made a beautiful catch in left field, which certainly atoned for his previous muff...

We cannot help inferring that so great was the confidence in Nevins's pitching, that certain members of the Yale Nine became careless about practising. If this was so, the poor playing of the Nine is readily accounted for. The whole tone of the Record's remarks is highly complimentary and gratifying to Harvard...

Cutler won fresh laurels by his magnificent fielding, while the three basemen, aided by Annan, rendered running the bases an extremely delicate matter for their opponents. Hodges made the very creditable score of no outs, seven runs, four base-hits, and two double plays. Harvard's batting was a succession of heavy, safe hits. It is entirely incompatible with the theory of the game of base-ball that wild, brute-force throwing should...
