...game with Trinity yesterday afternoon was an uninteresting one owing to the utter weakness of the Trinity team. In justice to them it should be said that they were heavily handicapped by the absence of Graves, their catcher and best all-around player. Burns, who took his place, was totally unable to hold Bowie. The battery work of Trinity was especially weak, in the first inning alone there being four passed balls, four wild pitches and three bases on balls...
Harvard showed considerable improvement in yesterday's game with Williams, over the work of the other games this week. Especially noticeable was the improvement in base running. To be sure, the catcher for Williams was not much of a thrower, but the men started much more quickly than ever before...
...first three innings. In the first, Hutchinson and Greenway struck out and Murphy knocked a slow grounder to Dickinson. For Harvard, Hovey led off with a hit to short stop, which was muffed enabling him to reach first. He stole second and third and got home on error by catcher.

The batteries were, on the first nine, Walton, from the Medical School, as pitcher, and Cobb, catcher; on the second, Dinsmore, '93, from the junior nine, as pitcher, and Walker, '95, from the freshman nine as catcher. Highlands was out and played right field for the second nine, but did not pitch. Hovey was out for the first time, and played at his old place at short stop. Keefe was busy coaching all the time, and a number of graduates watched...
