...visitors made eleven hits with a total of seventeen. Harvard's record was eight with a total of twelve. F. Munro was very wild at times, but Harvard failed to hit him very hard. In the field Harvard did not have many chances. Wrenn let an easy grounder go by him and thus made his second error of the season. Winslow, who was back at third, was still somewhat hampered by his finger but the error he made was inexcusable. For Colgate, P. Munro at catch played by far the best game of the day. He caught his brother...
...game was a pitchers' battle from beginning to end. Three clean singles, at left centre, was pounded out of Altman, and only a solitary scratch off the Yale pitchers, Carter and Trudeau. This latter was in the fourth inning, when Carter occupied the box. Bradley sent a rolling grounder to third. Fincke stood behind the base awaiting it, but the ball struck the bag and stopped. Bradley was on first and had a fair chance to make second, but was held...
...pretty double plays were made during the game. In the fifth Speer singled and took second on Fincke's fierce hit, but Fincke and the next batter, Greenway, were doubled up, Ward shoving Greenway's grounder to Brooks, who completed the play by shooting the ball to Otto.

Whittemore's fielding was perfect, but his batting was ineffective. For Holy Cross, W. J. Fox, on third, put up the best game, both on the field and at the bat. Pappalan proved...
...Kelley, the first man up, got his base on balls, went to second on a wild pitch, and reached third on a passed ball. For a few minutes it looked as if a man would come in, but Highlands settled down. Curley struck out. Maroney went out on a grounder to Stevenson, and Powers flied out to Adams, Harvard made her only run this inning, and after this but two men succeeded in getting past first base. Whittemore came to the bat first and bunted to third, who threw him out at first. Rand then hit safely, got to second...
