...effective all the time, and struck out seven men and passed only two. The opposing pitcher, Quint, was not speedy, and did not have a great variety of curves; but he pulled himself out of several tight places by making the men at the bat knock pop flies. Captain Dexter made two pretty catches in left field, and scored the first run with a pretty single to left, after which he stole second and third. Pounds' work in right showed no improvement, his throw to the plate in the fifth, on the only chance he had, being an inexcusable error...
Harvard started the scoring in the first inning. Harvey struck out but Skillen hit Briggs. McCall hit to left field for two bases, Briggs taking third, and Dexter scored them both with a single past first. Simons flew out to the infield. Dartmouth made a strong try for a run in the second, when with one down, Grebenstein knocked a long two-bagger over Harvey's head. Richardson flied out but Norton placed a hit over second on which Grebenstein tried to score but was caught at the plate by Harvey's perfect throw. Dartmouth's score in the fifth...
With a lead of two runs to overcome, Harvard rallied in the ninth. Briggs went out, Grebenstein to Schildmiller, and McCall struck out. With two down, Captain Dexter beat out a slow grounder to shortstop and immediately stole second. Simons advanced him with a pretty single to centre and took second on a fielder's choice. Leonard was put in to bat for Pounds and scored Dexter with a hit past third. Pritchett, the last man up, knocked a low fly to- wards second which was caught by Norton...
...doing better. Currier's catching is as energetic and effective as formerly and his throwing is excellent. Briggs fits in splendidly at first and fields his position well, and McCall and Simons around second base are covering even more ground than last year. The outfield, with Captain Dexter, Harvey, and Pounds, is fielding well, but Pounds is not playing as well as last year yet, and uses poor judgment with his throws and while running bases. In the first Annapolis game, Hartford's work was very promising, and it appears as though he is recovering from the nervousness which made...
...Harvard, 3-1, he allowed only five scattered hits, and was invincible when hits meant runs. His team is well balanced and shifty and contains two exceptional infielders in Richardson and Schildmiller. The batting orders: HARVARD. DARTMOUTH.
