...hashslingers were able to bring in only five. The victory was due chiefly to the powerful pitching of Paul Withington '09, and the expert fielding of Jack Watson '22, whose specialty was picking off the flies of the waiters.

Each team twice advanced men to third, where they were left, and the Freshmen in every inning except one got men on the bases but was unable to hit in the pinches. The fielding...
