...nine did some good batting but it was not extraordinary considering who the Amherst pitcher was Colby, their regular pitcher, was saved for the Dartmouth games Friday and Saturday, and Gregory, the freshman pitcher, was put in the box. The 'varsity made fifteen hits with a total of twenty-two, but the freshmen, three weeks ago, against the same man made ten with a total of fourteen. Hovey, Cook and Mason did exceptionally fine work at the bat. The fault which the men had of knocking balls into the air is growing less marked, but it is not altogether cured...
...really did not make much difference what sort of a game Harvard put up at the bat, when she fielded so bunglingly, and yet the spectacle was piteous. Eleven hits were made, and only two runs resulted. Here Princeton's superiority was very marked. Her batsmen worked well together, and their hits came in bunches. The freshmen did not throw into their work the life and dash that bring victory; they seemed contented when they had men on bases, and, as a matter of fact, they left twelve of them. Princeton played a very steady game throughout, and deserved...
...freshman game with Princeton on Saturday was about as poor an exhibition of baseball as the Ninety six nine could have given. Defeat in itself is not to be regretted so much as the ease with which it was inflicted. For seven innings, although lamentably weak at the bat at critical moments, Ninety-six played a creditable game. Then in the last two innings the whole nine went to pieces in a way which was entirely unwarranted. It was slovenly playing and it is for this alone that they deserve severe criticism. Princeton thoroughly outplayed them at every point...
...juniors, however, played good ball throughout, Hapgood made three hits with a total of four, and one sacrifice hit in five times at bat. In the field, Linfield did as usual the best work, accepting six chances without an error. This is his third consecutive game at short stop without an error. Not a single run was made...
...game with Holy Cross yesterday should not bring discouragement either to college or nine, but it should be the turning point in the steady decline which has characterized our playing since the Princeton game. There is hardly any excuse for a team which started the season with such heavy batting powers, to become suddenly the easy victims of the pitchers of the visiting nines. The poor fielding yesterday is not significant, for the radical change in the make-up of a team is generally accompanied at first by loose playing. What lost us the game, however, was Harvard's seeming...
