...time this year the regular infield played together. There was not much chance for team play, but individually the men played well. MacLaughlin has only two chances, both of which he handled easily. Simons showed his usual speed in getting the ball to first. Currier again led at the bat with three hits out of four time up. MacLaughlin followed him with two out of three, one of them a three-bagger...
Team B won the game, 3 to 1, by superiority at the bat. Two extra innings were also played, in which team B made two more runs, while team A failed to score. Team A got only two hits, one by MacLaughlin in the first inning, and one by Lanigan in the sixth. Team B got nine hits in all, two each by Haydock, Crocker, and Dana, and one each by Ferguson, Marshall, and Jordan...
...from the outfield, and together with Twitchell and A. Sweetser from last year's Freshman team should make valuable material for this position. A reliable substitute for Captain Currier should be R. C. Brown '10, who was captain of his Freshman team and has had much experience behind the bat. In the outfield, Aronson, Dana, and Harvey will be eligible and should make a good nucleus for starting the season, though they are liable to be supplanted by members of last year's Freshman outfield, of whom the most promising are McLaughlin and Minot...

Simons made some pretty stops, and all the other men came up to the mark. After Hartford had been given a long drill in fielding grounders, and throwing the ball to first, batting practice occupied the rest of the time. Almost everybody hit the ball hard, and several long liners were made off Slater and Bankin. The bunting was good on the whole, but might have been improved...
...coming with men on the bases. But, on the other hand, there were many bright spots in the work of the team, such as Leonard's base-running, and the fielding. Currier caught two men at second at critical times by swift, accurate throws, and played well behind the bat. Simons covered a large area at short stop, and made a remarkable one-hand stop of Shay's grounder, but his throw to first was a little low. His jumping catch of Mansfield's liner in the ninth stopped further trouble. Harding covered first in good style, and Hicks...
