...usual batting and fielding work, under the direction of coach Wendell, comprised the practice of the University baseball squad yesterday. The quality of the play was of about the ordinary average. While in the field, some little improvement was shown, especially in the work of Randall and Matthews. At the bat, the men did not surpass the mediocre standard, which they have maintained throughout the season. The substitutes were given long practice in batting, which was also very weak.

Repeatedly the Harvard men walked to the plate and were called out on strikes without swinging the bat. They came to the plate with the same indifferent aim that they used in walking to their places in the field, as if the game bored them or as if they considered the team that had won a series from Yale and kept Princeton and Pennsylvania from scoring as unworthy...
