...game began at three o'clock with Beaman, the former veteran third base-man of Harvard, at the bat. Beaman has played ball considerably this summer and had never failed to make at least one base hit in a game until a week ago Saturday, when he faced Smith at Fitchburg. Bound this time to punish Harvard's new pitcher, he made what seemed to be one of his old-time hits over short-stop's head. But Wiestling ran back swiftly, leaped in the air and captured the ball with one hand, a marvellous catch. In the first inning...
Harvard played only a fairly good game in the field. The errors, except that of Willard's, were hardly excusable, and one of the hits off of Smith would never have been safe had the ball been fielded more quickly. Phillips did some of his old time work at second, and Smith in the pitcher's box stopped a number of swift balls. His delivery puzzled the Rollstones very much, and although they usually hit the ball, it would almost inevitably be sent back to Smith or Phillips. Henshaw supported his pitcher in fine style.

...minute to Columbia's 34. In the first hundred yards Harvard opened clear water between the shells, and at the half mile flag Columbia was three lengths to the rear. In going to the mile flag the Harvard stroke dropped to 39, 38, and finally to 34, while Columbia hit up the stroke to 36, 37 and 38. At the mile and a half buoy Harvard was eight lengths to the good, and was rowing in splendid form, while Columbia had begun to show a ragged stroke. At the two mile flag Harvard was timed at 11m. 44s., and Columbia...
