...drive. Abbott took Sullivan's place at short, but his strong point is not in handling ground balls. The other error on Harvard's score was made by Hallowell, but in justice to him it ought to be said that any ordinary fielder would have made no attempt to catch the fly. He accepted an almost impossible chance, and unluckily dropped the ball...
...steady, struck out two men and retired another on a fly. Frothingham and Trafford made singles, and singles, and Upton made a three-bagger, two runs resulting. Baker made a hit in the ninth, but William's chances for another run were destroyed by the prettiest sort of a catch by Hallowell and his quick assist to Trafford...

Andover made but four hits all singles, two each by Donovan and Jennings. Of Harvard's ten hits, Hallowell, Frothingham, and Hovey made eight. Hallowell led with a single and two doubles. Frothingham...
