...base on called balls, but were each caught at second by Goodwin's excellent throwing. Baker struck out. For Yale, Sprague reached first base on seven balls. Tuttle hit a fly between second base and right field. F. Coolidge caught this in fine style, but in his haste to catch Sprague on first base, made a very wild throw, which went way back to the seats and gave Sprague third base. Tilden ran after the ball and threw wildly into the diamond, giving Yale their only run. Gordon was fielded out very prettily by Potter to Cowling, and Goodwin fouled...
...Billings, '85, the only other Harvard man entered, came in second in the third heat, and so ran in the finals. In the final heat the word to "set" was so quickly followed by the pistol shot that Baker was taken unprepared, and so failed to catch Brooks who won in 10 1-5s. Baker came in a close second. This was quickly followed by the trial heats...
...sixth and eighth innings two of our nine were declared out for running out of the three-foot line to first. Brown played a sharp fielding game, Doron, Seagrave and Wadsworth leading. Seagrave made a superb catch of a long fly in the seventh. They failed to hit Vinslow to any extent except in the fifth inning, when they batted him all over the field. Durfee, Shedd and Clark led the batting. Harvard played a fair game in the field. Allen played superbly, and Coolidge and LeMoyne did well. The nine play in Princeton tomorrow, let us hope with more...
...bringing in Coolidge and Baker and sending Phillips to third. Tilden hit an extremely swift grounder to Oliver which was too hot for him to handle with ease, and Phillips came home, tying the score. Oliver picked up the ball and threw to first, but was too late to catch Tilden. LeMoyne, in the mean time, had reached third and started for home, but turned back and Stewart threw to Hopkins to catch him off his base. Hopkins, however, muffed the ball, and LeMoyne scored the winning run with only one man out and Tilden on second...
...Coolidge to Smith, leaving two men on bases. For Harvard, Nichols made a base hit, but was forced out at second by Coolidge, who stole second. Baker fouled out to W. Moffat. While Phillips was at the bat Coolidge tried to steal third base, and Harlan, trying to catch him, made an overthrow and gave Harvard the winning...
