Harvard was first at the bat. Linn sent a grounder to second who fumbled and Linn was safe at first. Howland followed with a short hit, but was not out on account of an error of Knickerbocker's. Willard got first on a short hit, but stupid base-running by Linn and Howland resulted in their being caught between bases and put out. Henshaw got first on balls, but Mumford put the side out by a short fly to first. The base-running in this inning was the worst part of the Harvard game. Princeton started off well. Durell with...
...field was much superior. At times the throwing on both sides was execrable, and at this point was the especial weakness of the freshmen. Spalding pitched a remarkably good game for Ninety-two, and only three safe hits were made off his delivery. Hollis' work behind the bat was good with the exception of his throwing to second base. For Eighty-nine Trafford did good work on first base and McPherson on second. while Raymond in centre field made some good catches. Thayer was hit heavily by all the freshman. In the first inning the Ninety-two men bunched their...
...played. His work in the box was excellent. Worcester was able to get only three one-base hits, and only three men got first base on called balls. Henshaw backed him up well. Dean on second did good work making five assists and one put out; his batting was not up to his average. The worst part of Harvard's playing was the base running. In this Worcester was far ahead, as is shown by the fact that eight Harvard and only two Worcester men got out on bases. One of the most brilliant plays was made by Mumford...
...Harvard. While the result of the game at Princeton was not unanticipated, the work of the nine was in many respects disappointing. It was not expected that the team would play with confidence nor was it expected that there would be such an exhibition of loose fielding, weak batting, and lack of team play. But before condemning all this it should be remembered that the conditious under which the game was played were all against Harvard. The loose work in the field and weakness at the bat can be attributed to the very natural nervousness on the part...
...sharp ground hits, by the dirt diamond. The backing up was poor throughout, Princeton played a game almost free from fielding errors but her work seemed to lack snap. She clearly outdid Harvard however, at every point. The men hit Downer heavily although not many times safely. King's batting and fielding were the features of the game. He made a two and a three base-hit each time bringing in two men. In the first inning Quackenboss, while running to third, caught his foot and broke a Hgiament in his knee. His loss at third was felt severely during...
