...prize bat for the best batting of the season 1877 has been awarded to Mr. Tyng, '76. It is made of mahogany with a silver plate, on which is inscribed: "H. U. B. B. C., season of 1877, prize for the best batting, to James A. Tyng. Average first-base hits, .297; average total base hits, .419." The bat for the coming season is made of ebony with a silver plate.

...Nine, following the excellent example set them in the morning by the Crew, defeated Yale in the third game of the series, and placed Harvard the champion at the bat as well as at the oar. The Nine deserve our thanks for the pleasure and satisfaction which each student feels in the remarkable victories which have fallen to Harvard's lot this year.
