Aside from Paine the best work was done by Beale, who batted well and made two pretty catches. The work of the infield was decidedly weak. Stevenson played a very poor game and seemed not only unable to handle the ball but to take it quite as a matter of course. Twice, after fumbling the ball, he made no effort at all to recover for a throw. Dean also made two bad errors, one of which let in a run. Chandler played steadily, but was altogether too slow in getting the ball across to first...
With the exception of Beale, the batting of the Harvard team was uniformly weak. The men were almost all retired on easy infield hits or pop flies, and were utterly unable to hit at critical points. But one man reached third base...
Yesterday afternoon, on Soldiers Field, the Freshman baseball nine defeated the Wrocester Academy team by the score of 5 to 4. Though the score was close, at times the play was very ragged and the whole work of the Freshman nine loose. The playing of the infield especially was very poor. The batting on both teams was very weak and the baserunning slow. For the Freshmen, Edmunds and Farrington played the best; and for Worcester, Barker and Hersey. In the second inning, on a hit by Barker, Foster threw to Farrington, who made a double play at first, retiring...
Besides these nines, eighteen men have handed in their names, as follows: For the infield-F. M. Weld, H. C. Hildreth, P. G. Carleton; N. P. Hallowell, J. F. Mosby, L. B. Shaw, H. A. Wadleigh, S. Robinson, M. D. Abrams, J. W. Lane, F. W. Falvey and J. L. Marx; for the outfield-K. K. Carrick, J. T. Clark, J. C. Gray and H. E. Bailey. The only battery men are J. J. Teevens, pitcher, and J. E. Blair, catcher. In hopes that the names of a few more nines will be handed in, the management has decided...
...lost his head at critical moments. Several times a hit at the right time would have brought in runs for Harvard, but no one was equal to the occasion. A large number of men hit grounders to Summersgill who had nine assists and made several pretty stops. The Brown infield played the finest game that has been seen in Cambridge this year and cut off several apparently safe hits. Brown was fortunate in bunching her hits at the right time, and also did some very clever sacrifice hitting...
