...seen in the fact that only three Pennsylvania men besides the necessary twenty-seven, went to bat during the entire game. This effective pitching, moreover, was supported by almost perfect play in the field. The only error was made b Matthews in the ninth inning on a very difficult chance.

Nichols, Grant and Taylor batted well, making fourteen out of the team's twenty hits. The strongest feature of Yale's playing was the batting of Smith, who made four of the ten hits allowed by Taylor...
