...varsity nine has met with its first defeat at the hands of a college nine, a defeat that stands out clearly against the overwhelming victories that it has been the fortune of the nine to gain. There is one thing that makes the contrast more striking, and that is expressed in one word - "professionalism." Hitherto we have been matched against teams that have had so little merit that our nine has been able to gain little from the contests. Is this the practice that will enable Harvard to play a game of base-ball that shall be worthy the name...
...race with Harvard this year it will not be for lack of work and professional coaching. Last year the crew had only amateur instruction, and not so much of that as they needed, while their rivals certainly enjoyed much professional advice, no matter how they got it. Yale's defeat, therefore, left her sore - and this year John R. Chainey, of London, a professional oarsman, is instructing the 'varsity eight. So, if they don't have the genuine English stroke this year the blues never will How that will compare with Harvard's waterman's stroke we shall know when...

Seldom, if ever, has a college nine received such a defeat at the hands of another member of the league as Harvard administered to Brown. Never has such heavy batting by a college nine in a championship game been witnessed. The game was played on the college grounds which are enclosed by fences just back of left and centre field, while right field stretches up a hill to the college buildings...
...defeated freshmen we can only say that to defeat Yale they must play a far better game than they played with the Latin School. They need to give hand and head to their practice, which last Saturday seemed to lack both, and every moment possible must be used. Eighty-nine has good material, and ought to have a good nine. But any team, to be successful, must have its members working together. In this respect, we think the freshman nine has been signally lacking...
