...easy game from the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on Saturday by a score of 10 to 3. Both Stillman and Clarkson were very effective, and kept the hits so well scattered that, had it not been for several bad errors, Pennsylvania would have been shut out. At the bat the team continued its recent improvement in hitting when hits are needed, and lost few chances to score. The work in the field was marred by the errors of Reid and Frantz which allowed Pennsylvania to score. Aside from this the game showed that the team as a whole...
...game was begun at 11.45 with Harvard at bat and Hinchman and Drinkwater at the wickets. Hinchman was caught out by C. C. Morris almost immediately, and Pasea and Justice followed soon after, the former being caught by De Motte, the latter bowled by Scott. When the intermission was called at one o'clock Drinkwater and Mifflin were at the wickets. Shortly after the game was resumed Mifflin went out on a fly to De Motte but Drinkwater with Tyng as his companion at the bat continued to guard his wicket. His stand was cut short, however, when he slid...

In these two games there was a great lack of team work and good base-running, and the team seemed to rely too much on the pitchers. These faults, coupled with indolent work at the bat, were the cause of the defeat by Williams, a much inferior team. Then there came a decided improvement, which resulted in the three shut outs against Colby, Bowdoin and Lafayette. On these games is based the present judgment of the team. The men ran bases with good judgment, field quickly...
...regular battery, Chase and Whinery, is the mainstay of the team. Chase usually pitches a winning game, and Whinery, besides supporting him well, is also strong at the bat. There is, however, a lack of good substitutes for battery positions, and this accounts for several defeats...
...playing in the last few games, will be the best fielding team that Yale has has for years. Sharpe, Cook, and Hirsh are all hitting strongly, but the team as a whole is weak in this respect. Captain Robertson and Coach Johnston have decided to allow each man to bat in his habitual style, as they think that last year's batting slump was due to the enforcement by the coaches of a uniform style of bating. The result of this new system seemed very satisfactory in the Brown series, Yale winning both games, by scores...
