...seventh inning, the score was a tie and, at the end of the eighth, it stood 8 to 7 in favor of Yale. In the first of the ninth Corning tied the score again, making a run on an error by Hedges, and a base hit by Cummings. Yale then came to the bat for the last time, feeling very confident of victory. McClintock took his base on balls, stole second, took third on player's choice, came home on Parker's base hit, and the game was lost. Crosby played very well for Harvard: Huntington did the best word...
...agreement was made that it should be only an exhibition game, and that the championship game should be played on the New York Polo Grounds. The fielding of both nines was good, considering the bad condition of the field. The Princeton men were unable to hit Stagg, twenty of them striking out in the nine innings.

...second inning, both sides went out in one, two, three order, but in the third, the Harvard men, by a lucky bunching of their hits, a base on balls by Dalzell, and two or three errors of judgment on the part of the Yale fielders, managed to pile up five runs, making the score 7 to 0. From this time on, it must have grown rather dark in the neighborhood of second and third base, or else the umpire lost his eysight, for his base decisions were, to say the least, queer. This discouraged the Harvard men, and seemed...
