...Wesleyan by 2 to 0. Yale's batting was weak in all three games, and the fielding indifferent, except in the Wesleyan game, which Yale played without an error. The infield does not play well together, and has trouble in handling pop flies and bunt hits. Sharpe at first is steadily improving, and Quinby makes few misplays at second, but does not cover enough ground. Camp and Brown, at short and third, play brilliantly though somewhat erratically.
