...unfortunate that the baseball cage is so damp that the candidates for the nine are all complaining of its unhealthful condition. The water from outside finds its way inside so readily that the ground and atmosphere are filled with moisture, and the men who work there do so at more or less risk of catching colds.

Amherst presented their change battery, Thayer and Clark. For four innings Harvard was kept down to two hits, the two runs in the first being made on a three bagger by Campbell, an error by short, and hits by Willard and Henshaw.
