...game was called at 3.30 P. M. in the midst of a drizzling rain, George Hiller of New Haven being accepted conditionally as umpire by Capt. Thayer, as neither Sumner nor Reach, the specified umpires, was present. Harvard took the bat, and in the first three innings retired in striking order; Winsor alone reaching first on a hot liner to left field which Brown failed to hold, and in attempting to reach third was fielded out by Smith. Parker hit for a base, but was beautifully fielded out by Tyng to Latham. Smith took his base on balls, but fell...
HARVARD vs. AMHERST.Loose fielding by Amherst and clever base running by Harvard gave our nine an easy victory on Wednesday. The batting on both sides was rendered weak by the skilful pitching of Andrews and Ernst. Howe played finely behind the bat; Blair and Plimpton excelled in the field for Amherst, while Wright, Nunn, and Thayer played best for Harvard. Winsor led for both sides at the bat, and our Nine has been greatly strengthened by the acquisition of so plucky a player. Tyng once more resumed an active position on the Nine, but the weak batting of Amherst...

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...
