...first game in the class series took place yesterday afternoon on Jarvis in a drizzling rain. The game was not an especially exciting one, but it was fairly well-played throughout. The Juniors showed up well both at the bat and in the field. Butterworth was effective, and Aiken although having several passed balls, gave him good support. McKean played a good game at first base, and McCoy handled himself well at second. His batting was a feature of the game. The freshmen played poorly and the team will have to improve greatly if they wish to make any showing...
There has been in the last two or three weeks some trouble in regard to arranging the dates of the Harvard Yale Freshman base ball games, Yale insisting on June 1 as one date and Harvard not wishing to accept, because on that date the Harvard 'Varsity plays a game and the Yale 'Varsity does not, which would prevent Harvard from playing any men from the 'Varsity nine. Yale took the stand that she had a right to name one date and stick to it, eaving Harvard her choice of any other date she might wish...
There seems to us to be nothing unfair in this and the decision of last evening by which Harvard will probably offer as her date May 22, should settle the whole matter definitely. This arrangement will give both teams an equal advantage, far Harhas no 'Varsity game on the 22nd of May and Yale has. We cannot see any reason why in all fairness Yale should not accept this arrangement. Harvard will be undoubtedly justified in insisting on the acceptance of May 22, or any other date she may wish if Yale holds to June 1 as her choice...
Harvard was beaten 8 to 5 in a seven innings game by Williams at Williamstown Saturday afternoon. The day was stormy and made good playing out of the question, but the condition of the weather does not account for the utterly reckless manner and lack of determination shown by Harvard. The men that constitute the Harvard University nine ought to understand by this time that they are expected to make at least a fair showing. What the result of a Harvard-Princeton game will be, judging from Saturday's and other games played so far this season, is too ridiculous...
...called balls and seven Williams men to steal bases. Hawley struck out four men. According to the now established rule Harvard went all to pieces after the first inning, both in batting and fielding. Harvard got four runs in the first inning and only one more during the entire game and that in the fifth. In the third Williams got five. Williams was first at the bat. Hawley struck out the first man, Wilson; Brown got a hit and by stealing bases and a base hit of Hotchkiss, got home. Harvard had ten men at the bat in the first...
