...game opened well for an exciting contest, as neither side scored in the first inning, notwithstanding Furman's base-hit. In the second inning, after two men were out, a fumble of Hunt's, errors by Funkhouser and Furman, and base-hits by Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left on second, the succeeding batsmen striking out. Wright made a base-hit, and scored on damaging errors by Hunt; Alger also scored on an error by Hunt, Latham's base-hit, and a wild pitch. Errors by Tyng and Ernst allowed Hamill...

The soldier on guard had failed to warn us of his approach, and all was lost. Confusion reigned; the Gargoyles started on a run for Memorial, the Pumps stood helplessly trembling and shedding tears, the Bulletin Board nimbly crawled under the benches, and the Bell, half strangled by the grip of Jones, filled the air with the most shocking profanity.
