...ability to hit safely at timely moments, and through the effectiveness of Bowman and Patton in the box. In the Princeton series, Georgetown won one game, 6 to 5, and lost the other, 8 to 6. The greatest weakness of the team has been their inability to bat effectively with men on bases...
Since the Princeton game, the University nine has overcome many of its most glaring defects. The base-running, so slow and stupid in Saturday's game, has received special attention this week, and is now much more intelligent. Although unreliable, the batting has lately shown some improvement, especially at critical times. A tendency to hit too hard, and strike at bad balls has been in evidence. But with persistent coaching, these faults are being gradually overcome. R. Kernan is doing good work behind the bat, having shown marked improvement both in catching pitched balls and foul flies...
...showing in their games thus far. On May 16, the team defeated Yale by the score of 3 to 0, Yale making only two hits, against McGeehan, one of which was a scratch. This good work in the box, moreover, was supported by almost perfect fielding, while at the bat Holy Cross hit Bowman freely, with a total of eleven hits, including a home run and a three base...

...fielding, the work of the Second nine was on the whole fast and accurate, but included four errors; the base-running was less careless and showed more life than in the last few games played, five bases being stolen. Opposed by a weak pitcher, the nine batted creditably, and bunched their hits well, especially in the second inning, when six runs were made. St. Mark's played a loose, unsteady game, with little team work, a fact partly accounted for, perhaps, by the absence of their captain. Their chief weakness was at the bat; they fielded fairly well...
