...University nine did not hit as well as on Saturday, and only once succeeded in bunching hits. The new line-up was a marked success. Stephenson and Simons accepted all their chances in the outfield, and Currier was fast and wide awake behind the bat. He held Greene well and threw accurately to the bases...
Scoring started in the first of the third, when Leonard singled, and Stephenson followed with another good hit. McCall sent a short fly to the pitcher, but Dexter filled the bases by a fast drive to Jones, who fumbled the ball. Burr received a base on balls, forcing the first run, and a wild pitch alowed Stephenson and Dexter to score. In the same inning Paine and Tift singled for Brown, and Raymond followed with a home run that tied the score. In the last of the next inning Brown scored two more runs, on a single by Roye...
...score indicates, the game was very loosely played. Both pitchers were hit freely, and numerous errors were made in the field by both teams. The second nine took the lead at the start and maintained it throughout the game. It won largely on account of its fast base running, which was aided by the erratic fielding of the Holy Cross team. Pounds did the best batting for Harvard, getting four hits in five times...
Stephenson played a fast game in the outfield on his Freshman nine, but was not altogether at home there yesterday. Toward the end of the practice he improved, however, and made some good catches. Currier was originally a candidate for catcher, and was moved to the outfield later in the year. At Holy Cross, where he substituted for Stephenson, he caught a lively game, but was unsteady in throwing to bases. Yesterday afternoon, under the coaching of W. T. Reid, Jr., '01, he threw with good speed and accuracy. Simons fielded well in his new position...
...Union Boat Club eight by five lengths yesterday afternoon in a practice race of about a mile and 550 yards up stream from the Union Boat Club. The second gained a length at the start and gradually increased its lead until the finish. The University second crew maintained a fast stroke throughout the race reaching as high as 35, to the minute in the final spurt. Swaim, who was laid off last week, was again in the boat at 6, and Tilton and Mason of the Sophomore crew rowed 3 and 2 respectively as on Saturday...
