...contrast to the one next before it" might head the account of every game our nine has played this year. The grounds were abominable. In left field and in left centre especially the field sloped down so that the fielders were almost out of sight when they chased long hits. The bad work of the nine in the infield is partly explained by the hummocks among which the balls rolled. But the nine cannot be considered to have done its best under difficulties. In the sixth inning the men seemed to lose their heads, and four runs came...
Harvard made a run in the first inning on a base on balls given to Dean, Hallowell's sacrifice, a wild pitch and Hovey's base hit.

Another run was made in the eighth on a hit, a steal, a wild throw by Broughton, and Upton's sacrifice. In the ninth Harvard earned a run by Dean's three-bagger and Hovey's sacrifice...
