...College Nine played Exeter Academy yesterday afternoon in a game which at first looked almost one-sided. At the end of the sixth inning the score was 12 to 1 in Harvard's favor, but after that, through inexcusably poor playing by Harvard, the Academy nine made eight runs...
Harvard won yesterday's game because T. Stevenson played his best even when he seemed really out in the eighth inning.
