...since then the Vermont team has improved wonderfully. In this first game Abbey pitched the most of the game, the crack pitcher, O'Connor, only going in for the last three or four innings. Harvard did not secure a single hit off the latter while he was in the box. Today he will pitch the whole game, and a rattling contest may be expected. The University of Vermont defeated the strong Amherst nine, champions of the New England Intercollegiate league, twice during the past week. A large crowd should turn out to give Harvard encouraging support...
...Morrill's team out of the race. The nine did not play as clean a game in the field as usual, though the play improved much towards the end of the game, and some brilliant plays were made.

In the fourth Upton and Dean each got a single and Hovey lined the ball over the back fence but was given only two bases in accordance with the ground rules. Bates who was on third scored on the hit. In the fifth Brown made three of her seven hits and scored for the last time until the ninth. In the seventh Harvard batted Woodcock for five runs, making three doubles, a singie...
