...game yesterday afternoon was exceedingly slow and uninteresting. Both nines seemed to have gone to sleep, and it was not until about the eighth inning that Harvard seemed to wake up. The game was won not on account of any especially good playing on Harvard's part, but more on account of the very slovenly playing of Williams in the fourth and seventh innings.

Winslow was left on second in Harvard's half of the inning, and in the eighth the score was almost tied.

Stevenson was put out at first...

The features of the game were the pitching of Cozzens and Haughton, the former having 15 strikeouts to his credit. Haughton's batting was excellent. He is easily the mainstay of Groton's team. The Harvard freshmen showed their...
