Yale scored twice in the second inning. McCandless hit a long three-base hit which rolled across the tennis courts in right field. Paine made a wild pitch and McCandless crossed the plate. C. Reed went out, Stevens to Warren, and Smith was put out on an easy grounder to Anderson. R. Reed then got his base on balls and scored on Stevenson's misjudgment of Fincke's hit.

At present Norton's offers the only opportunity for regular practice for the class teams, and yet there is but one diamond which even borders on respectability. Even this needs rolling and levelling.
