...Freshman nine defeated Hopkinson School yesterday, in a six inning game, by the score of 19 to 6. The large score was due mainly to the wretched fielding of the Hopkinson team. Although the Freshmen had little trouble in winning, their lack of team work yesterday would have been very disastrous in a close game. The team showed considerable improvement in batting and throwing, and Hutchinson pitched a fairly good game, keeping the hits well scattered. Bennett and Hutchinson led at the bat with three clean hits apiece...
...University nine won a slow and one-sided game from Amherst yesterday afternoon by a score of 13 to 2. The ease of the victory was due in a great measure to the mediocre pitching of Rushmore and the ragged fielding of the Amherst team. Considering the pitching encountered, Harvard's hitting was not remarkable; besides, the tendency to try for long hits was very noticeable. On the other hand the nine showed a decided improvement in speed, team work and base-running...
...Second Nine defeated the Cambridge Latin School team on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by the score of 11 to 1. The victory was due to the superior battery work of Dudley and Parker. Winsor started in to pitch, but gave way to Dudley at the end of the first inning on account of a lame arm. Dudley shut out the opposing team without a run for eight innings, allowing only two hits...

Clark failed to cover the base when he might have retired a runner. J. D. Clark's work on first was unsatisfactory, and he was awkward in attempts to catch runners off the base. Reid's throwing to first...
...Freshman nine played six innings against the Newton High School team yesterday, and won easily by the score of 24 to 2. The Newton team was weak at the bat and in the field, but the large score made by the Freshmen was due largely to poor pitching. Not only were the Freshman batters able to hit the ball very effectively, but also they were given many bases on balls, especially in the last inning, when Leonard, the Newton pitcher, forced in four runs. In spite of easy pitching, however, the batting record of the Freshmen, with eight singles, four...
