...practice in picking up grounders in the cage. The batteries began light practice yesterday in order that the pitchers might get their arms in condition as soon as possible. Only four members of last year's nine will go in training, Captain Quinby and Trudeau of the infield and Keator and Letton of the outfield. The management intend to follow out the policy of not employing a professional coach inaugurated last year, so Captain Quinby will be assisted in coaching only by former university players. Practice has not progressed far enough to give any definite criticism of the candidates' work...
Yale's first batter, Greenway, placed a single over second base; Rustin and Keator were out on high infield flies. Redington hit a long two-bagger to left field, but both men were left on Carter's hit to Winslow. Scannell hit the ball hard, but it went directly into Speer's hands.

How weak and ineffective the Harvard batting was can be seen from the fact that but eight balls in the whole game went past the infield, and two of these were Scannell's hits. In the field Harvard made but four errors, but these were bad ones. Two of these were in the outfield. Rand made one of his wild throws and Burgess muffed an easy fly, while his throwing was remarkably weak. Stevenson muffed...
Pennsylvania hit hard throughout the game, but should have been allowed not more than half her runs. Brown's infield went to pieces half a dozen times, and wild throws that counted for less than three runs at a time were exceptions. Her outfielders put up a better exhibition of ball on the whole, Robinson especially distinguishing himself by three fine running catches in right...
