Harvard was outplayed in every department except pitching. Clarkson's pitching was the only thing which saved the game. The batting was wretched; the men were flustered at the bat and made only six hits against one of Andover's weaker pitchers. They hit to the infield, sent a few flies to the outfield, and struck out three times. As the batting stands at present Harvard must either shut out her opponents or lose...
Andover's play was errorless and at times brilliant; but at the bat the team was prevented from scoring by Clarkson, who struck out twelve men and showed perfect control in critical places, especially in the fifth inning, when Andover had men on second and third bases, with no one out. Their six hits were kept well scattered...
...Harvard team was conspicuously superior in every point of the game. Paul pitched a wild and unsteady game for Groton, allowing nine bases on balls, a three-base hit, six two-base hits and six singles. In the first inning, three of the Harvard team were twice at the bat, and nine of the twenty runs were scored. Auchincloss, who replaced Paul in the sixth inning, pitched more steadily and allowed few hits. The erratic fielding of the Groton team added largely to the advantage of the Second nine...
Amherst was shut out by Clarkson's steady pitching. Clarkson allowed two hits, struck out 13 men, and was especially effective when Amherst had men on bases. In the field the team was steady, but the batting showed no improvement. The game emphasized the team's most serious fault. The men lacked aggressiveness at the bat and were content to let one or two strikes pass before offering at the ball; this attitude resulting in nine strike-outs. Fortunately four of the six hits made were timely and enabled Harvard to make three runs against a clean fielding team...
...replaced by Wood. Devens will probably be unable to play again this season, as his knee is very weak. Kernan did not hold Clarkson well and threw wild to first base on Raftery's third strike in the sixth inning, thus making the only error for Harvard. His batting showed little improvement. Randall did not cover his base properly, dropping thrown balls from Clarkson while trying to put out base-runners. At the bat he made on hit and struck out twice. Coolidge and Skilton failed to make hits, and Wood struck out all three times that he came...
