...graduate and undergraduate body it means everything. The victory was clean cut and well earned in spite of Yale's frequent misplays. There was not the slightest doubt as to the merits of the two teams after the first inning and although the University team was outbatted by one hit, most of Harvard's hits came when they were needed and every opening to score was taken advantage...
...work yesterday was characterized by excellence both at the bat and in the field. The fielding practice was held first, consisting in the usual hitting of grounders and flies. Simons made some pretty stops, and all the other men came up to the mark. After Hartford had been given a long drill in fielding grounders, and throwing the ball to first, batting practice occupied the rest of the time. Almost everybody hit the ball hard, and several long liners were made off Slater and Bankin. The bunting was good on the whole, but might have been improved...
Hicks and Mansfield both pitched good ball, the former allowing six hits and the latter four. Hicks had the most strikeouts to his credit, but generally did not control the batters as well as Mansfield. He had a tendency to give them a number of balls at the outset and then be forced to put straight ones over which they could hit. Except in the sixth inning, when two two-baggers came in succession, the hits were well scattered...
...first inning. Shay, the first man up, was hit, reached second on Cashen's sacrifice, and third on Larkin's out, Hicks to Harding. Barry then singled sharply to left, scoring the run, but Mansfield was out, Leonard to Harding. Harvard then proceeded to tie the score by Leonard's brilliant work.

McCall then bunted, putting Leonard on third, but getting...
Leonard began the third inning by hitting a slow grounder to Barry. The latter came in fast and made a very swift low throw which bounded into the grandstand. Leonard almost had the ball beaten at first and came home on the play. Holy Cross tied the score in the fourth when, with two out, Carney hit over Aronson's head for a home run. Aronson misjudged the ball, and instead of running back, came in and jumped for it, but missed it by three feet...
