...gathering clouds kept many from coming to yesterday's game, and only about 500 spectators were on the grounds. The game was called for 3 o'clock, but just before this a heavy shower came up, and delayed the game for half an hour. Yale came first to the bat. The wet grass made the ball slippery, and Winslow was obliged to give Hubbard his base on balls. A wild pitch sent him to third, and Griggs' fly to centre let him score, giving Yale her first run. Harvard did not score in the first inning, but in the second...
...made off his delivery and after that but five more were added. In the eighth, Hopkins knocked a three baser over right field fence. It was a block ball and Hopkins came home on it. Harvard excelled in pitching, as the score shows. Allen did magnificent work behind the bat, Coolidge and Baker had little to do but they did that little well, while the out-field played a beautiful game throughout, Crocker doing especially good work while Lovering and Le Moyne caught some particularly difficult flies. For Yale, Camp and Hopkins played most of the game. Hubbard...

The fielding of both Allen and Nichols in pitcher's position has been all that could be wished for. At the bat both men have worked with a will, and have showed steady improvement. Much is to be hoped for from the two men next year...

Six runs were added in the third and fourth off three hits aided by errors by Baker and Lovering. For Harvard, Lovering made a run in the first inning off a two base hit and errors. Two runs, one earned, were added in the seventh inning, after two men were out. Coolidge and Baker then hit safe but were left. Brown won the game by sharp fielding at critical...
