...game before the Yale series by defeating Holy Cross, on Saturday, in an exciting contest, 4 to 3. After the first inning, in which both teams scored once, the University team gained the lead in the third, but Holy Cross tied the score in the fourth, on Carney's home-run. Harvard again took the lead with a run in its half of the fourth, and Holy Cross brought in another in the fifth. Holy Cross made their last run in the next inning...
...second, starting just as the catcher was throwing the ball to the pitcher. Mansfield's throw to second was too late, as Leonard made a neat slide. McCall then bunted, putting Leonard on third, but getting out himself. Harvey hit a short fly to right field, and Leonard ran home as soon as it was caught, and was safe, as the throw was a little wide...
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.

Harvey hit towards the pitcher, who blocked the ball so that the second baseman just got the runner at first and put the side out. Aronson's home run in the next inning came with none out. After two were gone Simons singled and stole second, but was left when Harding flied to Ebeling. With one out in the ninth Aronson received a pass and went to third on Lanigan's grounder to short. Currier also grounded to short...
