...last, showing better form even than in the Brown and Cornell games. He not only struck out fourteen men and gave but one hit, but throughout the game, allowed but one man to reach third base and only two to reach second. R. Kernan caught steadily and made two brilliant catches of foul flies. The infield was hardly tried out to any extent but with the exception of an error by Randall, the few chances that were offered were accepted cleanly and accurately...
...either fielding, batting or base-running. The fielding has often been sharp and fast, but shows too many lapses to be called reliable. The batting throughout the season has been weak, though in the last three games some improvement has been evident. The base-running has been at times brilliant, at other times very stupid, and in general erratic. Coburn and Stillman have been pitching with fair effectiveness, and Clarkson's work has, as usual, been very strong, though he has hardly reached as yet his highest point of development...
Cornell was defeated by the baseball team yesterday in a poorly played game by the score of 16 to 3. Clarkson's brilliant pitching, and Cornell's poor playing in all departments of the game gave the Harvard team a victory that was by no means deserved. The base-running was again very weak showing a decided falling off in form since the Andover game. Matthews and Randall were both put out on bases, while several other men only escaped a similar fate by Cornell's timely errors. Thirteen hits were made, including two home runs, which would indicate...
...interest, because the sharp fielding and weak batting of both teams reduced the base-running and the scoring to a minimum. Both Lynch and Clarkson pitched with remarkable effectiveness, the latter allowing the Brown team but three hits, striking out nine men, and giving no bases on balls. This brilliant work in the box, furthermore was supported by perfect fielding on the part of the whole University team, so that only the three Brown men who made hits reached first and only one succeeded in reaching second. The most spectacular play of the game was a well executed double play...
...chance behind the bat. The base-running showed a little more life than in the Amherst game. This was partly due to the return to the team of Carr, who did some remarkably quick work, stealing four bases and scoring two runs. Stillman's pitching, although not at all brilliant, was very steady and showed up well at critical times. Although he allowed the Williams team ten hits, he gave but one base onaballs and struck out four men. Matthews's errors were both made on ground balls with an untrue bounce, and are therefore more or less excusable...
