...many lapses to be called reliable. The batting throughout the season has been weak, though in the last three games some improvement has been evident. The base-running has been at times brilliant, at other times very stupid, and in general erratic. Coburn and Stillman have been pitching with fair effectiveness, and Clarkson's work has, as usual, been very strong, though he has hardly reached as yet his highest point of development...
...Freshman baseball nine will play Phillips Exeter Academy this afternoon at Exeter, N. H. During the last two days the Freshman team has made a decided improvement in batting and fielding, and has shown better judgment than heretofore. Although Exeter has fair material, the team is weak in batting and inaccurate in fielding.

In batting the men show a little better form, but still have a tendency to knock fly balls, and have not yet learned to time the ball well. Their bunting is fair. The fielding of the infield is marked by carelessness and the throwing is very inaccurate. In the outfield a little improvement is shown in judging fly balls and in getting throws off. R. J. Leonard has been elected captain...
