...University baseball team defeated Cornell yesterday afternoon by 1 to 0 in a remarkably well played game, 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...
...them a two-bagger to left. The men hit the ball hard, however, and it was only good fielding on the part of Cornell that prevented more hits. In the fourth Caldwell pulled down Currier's swift liner. The playing of Heilman at shortstop was a feature of the game. He handled four grounders very cleverly, and was lucky to stop Simons's hit which was going over second...

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...

As the first game with Cornell had to be cancelled on account of rain, the game today will be the only contest between the two teams. Hartford will be in the box for the University team and will be opposed by Gable, last year's substitute pitcher for Cornell. The Harvard line-up will be the same as on Saturday...
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...
