...Princeton men. As soon as they reached Princeton a lunch was served for them at the hotel; they were taken in carriages to the ball-ground, and throughout the game were treated with a courtesy which might be imitated to advantage by the spectators who sometimes throng Holmes Field. In the evening, the musical societies gave a concert in honor of the guests, and the following day was marked by similar attentions. A large body of the college accompanied the Nine to the cars, and attested their friendship for the visitors with enthusiastic cheers. Such an evidence of the good...
...possible, by leaving Boston in the nine o'clock morning train to reach New Haven in time to see the game. By all means let the Harvard men keep together on the grounds, and, if possible, persuade the Nine, by their hearty applause, that they are playing on Holmes Field, and not in a strange land. However good intention an audience may have, it is always hard to recognize the fine points in an opponent's game. The men who go to New Haven to-morrow should mass round a crimson flag, and shout themselves hoarse, if necessary...
...fine, while the Yale men batted Cruger with comparative ease. Had our pitcher been in the good condition in which we have seen him, their base-hit column would not have amounted to so much, we can safely say. For Yale, Lamb led at the bat and in the field, closely followed by Walden, whose play at second base was good. Thompson and Borie struck well, but the former did poorly at short. Ives, who is also catcher of the University Nine, hardly came up to the standard we had expected. The Yale Freshmen are a strong batting nine throughout...
...otherwise have done so; yet it is a cause of great regret that announcement of its intentions was not made earlier by the Association. This could not well be, however, for the difficulty of getting a track near the college appeared insurmountable. It was useless to talk of Jarvis Field for this season; in fact, we may consider ourselves fortunate if we are allowed to use it at all next autumn. Holmes Field next suggested itself; but the possibility of harming it for base-ball prevented its use. Beacon Park is always open, and the manager has kindly...
THAT was the score at New Haven last Saturday. What does this show? It clearly shows that our Freshmen are at present a weak batting, but a good fielding nine. The Yale pitcher is a good one, but even those hits that were not base hits were not, as a rule, good square ones. Evidently there must be more attention paid to batting; there is good material in the Nine, and if they practise more at the bat, they can be a strong batting as well as a strong fielding nine. They must by no means neglect fielding practice...
