...score now stood, Harvard, six; Princeton, two. The fifth was Princeton's brilliant inning. Harvard's men went out in order owing to good work of the Princeton infield. Willard was put out, however, by Durell who caught a long and difficult fly remarkably well. Princeton started the fifth with hits by Watts and Durell. Payne was out-Mumford to Willard. Dana knocked a long fly away over the head of Linn, who made a beautiful catch after a long run backwards; but Watts scored. Howland's failure to throw out Knickerbocker immediately afterwards, allowed Durell to score Princeton...
...freshmen won their first game in the class series yesterday, beating the seniors by a score of ten to seven. The game was characterized by little brilliant work. Ninety-two far outbatted Eighty-nine, but the work of the seniors in the field was much superior. At times the throwing on both sides was execrable, and at this point was the especial weakness of the freshmen. Spalding pitched a remarkably good game for Ninety-two, and only three safe hits were made off his delivery. Hollis' work behind the bat was good with the exception of his throwing to second...

In this Worcester was far ahead, as is shown by the fact that eight Harvard and only two Worcester men got out on bases.

Harvard '92 played well throughout and batted well considering that the Brown 'Varsity battery played. The outfielding was brilliant and the catching of Bell deserves mention. Appended is the score...
...Crane, picking up, won the next five, securing the match. Play in this match was overcautious and rather uninteresting, each man fearing to break up the balls. The second bout, Mastin vs. Crowninshield, was won by Mastin; score, 5-2. On the whole, play was good, each contestant making brilliant shots. The next matches will be played to night at the same time, 10 p. m. Bell and Wildes. Stearns and Livingston, will be the contestants...
