...attendance of 2,500 persons witnessed Yale win a second victory from Harvard on Saturday last. A lack of confidence seemed to pervade the Nine, probably owing to the forced absence of Tyng. Yale batted heavily, earning seven runs; Downer and Brown earning clean home-runs, and Downer making another home-run on what should have been a single base-hit, the ball bounding sideways and thus passing Fessenden. Howe played pluckily behind the bat, and caught Ernst's pitching remarkably well for a first attempt. Thayer, Wright, Alger, Latham, and Holden played well in the field. Carter...
...balm for the wounded feelings of our Nine, the following table is inserted showing the excellent individual record made by the majority, both at the bat and in the field...
...during the game. In the eighth inning Woodhead took two bases on a wild throw by Thayer, Howe muffed Snigg's fly, Cogswell hit to Nunn, who fielded Woodhead out on third, Kelly made a base hit, filling the bases, with O'Rourke, the Manchesters' best striker at the bat. O'Rourke sent a high fly between short-stop and left-field, which Nunn caught finely. Leary then struck out. This game brought out the skill and coolness of the Nine in trying circumstances better than any other game of the season. Thayer, Tyng, Nunn, and Wright played well...
...Haven last Saturday, where they were defeated by the Yale Freshmen by a score of 8 to 1. The game at first promised to be a close one, but by the end of the fifth inning the success of Yale was assured. The Harvard Nine found it impossible to bat Lamb's pitching, which was remarkably fine, while the Yale men batted Cruger with comparative ease. Had our pitcher been in the good condition in which we have seen him, their base-hit column would not have amounted to so much, we can safely say. For Yale, Lamb...
THAT was the score at New Haven last Saturday. What does this show? It clearly shows that our Freshmen are at present a weak batting, but a good fielding nine. The Yale pitcher is a good one, but even those hits that were not base hits were not, as a rule, good square ones. Evidently there must be more attention paid to batting; there is good material in the Nine, and if they practise more at the bat, they can be a strong batting as well as a strong fielding nine. They must by no means neglect fielding practice...
