During the first seven innings the Freshmen played well and took full advantage of their opponents' weakness. Their hits were timely and well-placed, and their fielding fast and accurate. Towards the end of the game, however, their playing became very listless, and carelessness and lack of headwork in base-running lost several runs...
...this season has at times been very discouraging, but the men have worked hard lately, and developed rapidly until now the whole team plays well together both at the bat and in the field. The base-running is still weak, however, and many runs are lost by lack of headwork...
...playing of the Freshmen was an improvement over that in the game with the Second nine, but was marred by frequent failures to take advantage of Milton's weakness, and an inability to bunch hits when necessary.

His wild pitch in the ninth inning allowed Apthrop to score for Milton. Tweed played an excellent game at catch, and threw to second base accurately...

The Second team batted well, and bunched its hits. The fielding of the team was fast, and the throwing to bases accurate.

Brennan, who took Greene's place in the eighth innings, was ineffective, and showed poor judgment with men on bases in the ninth. The batting was encouraging, but the base-running showed little headwork. The fielding of the team, except in the ninth inning, was fast. The score was fairly close until the sixth inning when the Freshmen scored nine runs on four hits, three bases on balls, and two errors. In the ninth inning Brennan weakened, and St. Paul's scored five runs...
