Yesterday afternoon the practice of the University team was, on the whole, of a high order, especially the batting and base running. One of the most clever pieces of work of the season came when a runner scored from second on Simons's bunt down the first base line; and on the same play, Lanigan, coming all the way from first, was barely put out on a close play at the plate. The batting orders will be: HARVARD. DARTMOUTH. Leonard, 3b. c., F. Leonard McCall, 2b. c.f., Langdell Harvey, c.f. 3b., Hobart Aronson, r.f. r.f., Schildmiller Lanigan, l.f. l.f., Emerson...
...unable to hit Brown of Andover successfully, getting only three hits in all. Cooper started pitching for the second but was wild and was soon replaced by Everts. Andover was allowed only four hits, but scored their one run in the sixth by a base on balls, a sacrifice bunt an error in judgement by Marshall, and a long fly to deep centre, the runner beating out the throw to the plate...

Otherwise he made some clever stops, and kept up his good batting by making a two-base hit and a safe bunt. McCall at second played in last year's form, and accepted six chances without an error. His clever stop back of second and quick throw to Simons which ended the game was a brilliant piece of work. Briggs was steady on first base and had fourteen put-outs to his credit. The batting of the team as a whole...
Another run came in the fourth as a result of an error by the third baseman, and a clean hit by Currier. The last score was made in the sixth inning when Simons reached first on a single, advanced to third on Harvey's beautiful bunt, which was curiously fielded, and came home on Dana's sacrifice hit to centre field...
...Martin went out, Brennan to Briggs, but Leonard had trouble with Merritt's grounder and threw over Briggs' head, Belford scoring. After Shannon had struck out in the seventh inning, Burdett singled, Brennan passed Belford and hit Martin, filling the bases. Merritt worked the squeeze play with a perfect bunt towards first base on which Burdett scored and the bases were still full with only one out. McIntyre flied to Dexter, but Reilly was passed, forcing in another run. Washburn, the last man up, flied to McCall...
