...Holmes Field, June 23, and was won by Harvard 2 to 0. The game was tame and uninteresting. The only two runs of the game were scored in the first inning. Haughton played the best game for Harvard and brought in both runs by a beautiful three-basc hit. Blakely played the best game for Pennsylvania. The class of '71 attended the game in a body...
...ragged fielding which was noticeable throughout the game, and which was plainly caused by nervousness. Most of the errors were made on difficult plays, but several were quite inexcusable and proved very costly. In batting Harvard was distinctly superior to Princeton, but was unfortunate in not bunching hits at the right time. Clarkson deserves a great deal of credit for his excellent work with the stick. Twice he came to bat with a man on third base, and each time he brought in a run, beside making a third hit, which did not affect the score...
...rival, but did not have particularly good control and was rather erratic in his fielding during the early part of the game. In the first inning he gave two bases on balls and made a wild pitch and a wild throw to first. These errors, with two sacrifice hits, gave Princeton a lead which Harvard could not overcome. From this point until the tenth inning Paine's pitching was faultless. Not a hit was made off him until the eighth inning...
...infielders played a steady gme, and behind the bat Scannell gave Paine the best of support. His error was a wild throw of a bunt near the plate. The finest play of the game was a running catch by Burgess in deep left field of a long hit by Altman, which looked good for three bases. Rand made an almost equally good catch of a fly which dropped through the branches of the willows. Burgess, however, misjudged, and then muffed another fly, and both he and Clarkson fumbled badly on Smith's hit in the tenth inning...
...large. Every seat was filled and a number of people watched the game from the centre field. Princeton scored twice in the first inning on Paine's wildness. For Harvard, Dean was given a base on balls and stole second. Scannell struck out, but Burgess sacrificed and Clarkson's hit gave a run. For the next four innings the playing was uneventful and no one got beyond second base. In the sixth Harvard scored her second run, as has already been described, and should have made some more runs in the seventh. After this only one man reached first base...
