...game opened miserably, with two errors by Howe, which, together with a base on balls, gave the visitors one run, and almost gave them another. The third inning was little better than the first, but the climax of bad ball playing was not reached until the fifth. A single hit rattled our men so completely that three runs came in and a fourth man got as far as third base before they could pull themselves together. It must be remembered that all this happened with a very weak team opposed to us, a team that should not think good enough...

But the weakness at the bat was insignificant compared to the exhibition of base-running which the nine gave. It would have disgraced the weakest school team. In the first place, as soon as a Harvard runner...
Bates pitched well except in the first and eighth innings when Amherst gauged his delivery very accurately and hit him safely five times with a total of seven bases. Cobb held him fairly well, but made one tremendously wild and disastrous throw to second base, besides showing poor judgment at times in throwing to the other bases. At second Dean fumbled one grounder and then threw the ball far out of Trafford's reach. The rest of Harvard's play was medium...
