...neither team making an error throughout the nine innings. Hartford pitched in splendid form, not allowing Cornell a single hit, and struck out twelve men. Not until the eighth did a Cornell man reach second base, though three reached first on balls during the game. Hartford's curves and fast balls, which be varied excellently, were a complete puzzle to the Cornell batters, and they struck time and again without coming anywhere near the ball...
...five of the innings Harvard had one or more men on bases, but was unable to score. In the first inning two bases on balls and a sacrifice hit, coupled with some fast running by Leonard and good work by Aronson, put men on second and third, but Lanigan hit to centre for the third out. In the third Leonard knocked a good two-bagger along the left foul line. McCall sacrificed him to third, and Harvey was hit and stole second; but Aronson struck...

McCall, Leonard, Simons, and Harding all figured in fast plays, and Harvey captured three hard flies in the outfield. Currier caught an excellent game, as well he might with Hartford pitching in the best of form. It is a noteworthy fact that Cornell has made but one run off Hartford in 28 innings...
...regular players are together again, Captain Heilman, shortstop; Ebeling, right field; and Reiber, second base. Watson, who played at first last year, is slightly off form, and Williams will probably play in that position. Fulton was substitute in last year's outfield and has been developed into a fast man. The rest of the team are mostly sophomores taken from last year's freshman team...
Although the Cornell team has played fast ball at times, and is capable of displaying great ability, it has not had a very satisfactory season, and does not appear to compare favorably with last year's team. An unsuccessful Southern trip was followed by a slight brace, when three games were won in succession, but since then Cornell has been defeated by Penn State, 4 to 2; by Princeton, 5 to 4; and by Pennsylvania, 11 to 5. In the latter game the team went to pieces, making ten errors, but in the Princeton game a two-run lead...
