...eighth inning Wigglesworth was hit by the pitcher, sacrificed to second by Felton, and stole third. There he died, however, when Wingate flied out and Coon, who was sent in to bat for Desha, fanned...
...double steal by Babson and Wingate in the fourth inning. It was a farcial play, both the Harvard and Colby players showing a lamentable lack of baseball brains.
