...recent baseball agreement with Harvard, the Yale Courant says: "Harvard can hardly be blamed for not acquiescing to our first proposal, as that would have caused the playing of the final and probably decisive game in New Haven, where our team would have had the advantages of home grounds and a favorable audience...
...varsity nine was treated to considerable of a surprise in yesterday's game at Exeter. The home team put up a strong game; the work of Powers, Exeter's catcher, whom Andover protested was particularly brilliant. Repeatedly he caught men off bases by his quick, accurate throwing. At one time the bases were full with none out. Hapgood allowed himself to be caught napping off first and Trafford was equally slow in being thrown out between third and home and then the batter went out and Harvard failed to score. Harvard put in a substitute team. Corbett caught and Whittemore...
...Highlands got the ball, and yet he threw to first. That run was a pure gift.

In the seventh Hap good hit safely, went to third on a wild pitch, and reached home on Highlands hit to second. Hallowell forced Highlands at second, but stole himself, and came in on Frothingham's second hit. The next inning, Upton went to first on balls, stole, and came in on Sullivan's hit. George-town's only run was made in the eighth. Dowd made...
