...excellent and his curves proved too much for the opposing batters. Captain Dexter's all-around work was faultless. In the field, his only chance was a hard drive by McClure in the sixth, close to the foul line, which he got after a long run. Each time at bat, he hit the ball squarely, getting a three-bagger the first time and being called out at first on an infield hit, which he apparently beat to the base. Currier caught Brennan well and secured two hits out of three times at bat...
...McCall's error. He was effective all the time, and struck out seven men and passed only two. The opposing pitcher, Quint, was not speedy, and did not have a great variety of curves; but he pulled himself out of several tight places by making the men at the bat knock pop flies. Captain Dexter made two pretty catches in left field, and scored the first run with a pretty single to left, after which he stole second and third. Pounds' work in right showed no improvement, his throw to the plate in the fifth, on the only chance...

He accepted seven chances perfectly, one of which was only effected after a sensational play of Merritt's line drive in the ninth, which he knocked down on the run and recovered in time to get the man at first. At the bat he secured a single and a two-bagger...

Simons advanced him with a pretty single to centre and took second on a fielder's choice. Leonard was put in to bat for Pounds and scored Dexter with a hit past third. Pritchett, the last man up, knocked a low fly to- wards second which was caught by Norton...
...score of 8 to 4. Although the opposing pitcher was not at all difficult, the hitting of the Freshmen showed a decided improvement over the form shown in practice. The best playing for the Freshmen was done by Jordan, who made a hit every time he was at bat, and accepted 16 chances without an error. Hall, Aronson, and Delano also showed up strongly, both at the bat and in the field...
