Yesterday afternoon the Yale freshmen won the first game of the series with the Harvard freshmen by extremely hard batting, aided by the very wild pitching of the Harvard pitcher. The beginning of the game was delayed by the failure of the umpire, Mr. Pearce, to put in an appearance, and in his absence, Mr. Wiestling, '87, filled the position most acceptably to both nines. The game was not a creditable exhibition of ball playing, by either nine, but the Harvard freshmen succeeded in bunching the greatest number of errors, and the Yale freshmen the greater number of hits...
...King followed, the latter adding two to the score. Hunnewell took King's place, and played in excellent form until bowled by Wright for five. Then Sullivan was neatly caught at square leg by P. Mansfield, and Whiting was bowled out by Dutton. Brown thus far carried his bat, having made sixty-one runs...
...almost entirely throught Ninety's errors, not one of their six runs being earned. Kielty pitched the first part of the game, after which Sabin was put in.

Harvard played a fair fielding game in the first part of the game but their batting was very weak. They did not seem to hit the ball squarely and they kept batting it into the air. This proved disasterous with such a fine fielding team as Yale has. Campbell caught remarkably well, and Boyden pitched a good game up to the eighth inning. He was especially effective when there were men on bases. Mumford and Wiestling fielded well. Yale played a wonderful game both at the bat and in the field. Their battery work was about perfect and McConkey...
