...account of every game our nine has played this year. The grounds were abominable. In left field and in left centre especially the field sloped down so that the fielders were almost out of sight when they chased long hits. The bad work of the nine in the infield is partly explained by the hummocks among which the balls rolled. But the nine cannot be considered to have done its best under difficulties. In the sixth inning the men seemed to lose their heads, and four runs came in on a two base hit and a scratch. The redeeming feature...
...plate becomes a necessity, and it is idle to say that it "is not to be thought of;" it must be made, and yesterday a candidate for one of the class nines found this out, very much to his cost, He was trying to make home on a short infield hit, and to do so a slide was absolutely necessary. He made the slide and scored the run, but in doing so his left foot struck the side of the wooden post which serves as a plate, and he sprained his ankle so severely that he will probably be unable...
...Soule took third. Hallowell stole second. Hovey sacrificed, bringing Soule in and advancing Hallowell to third. Trafford knocked a grounder to Parks, who fumbled it, and thus let Hallowell come home. In trying to steal second Trafford was thrown out, and Frothingham went out on a grounder to the infield...
Parks led off for Worcester in the second inning with a two-bagger to left field. Moore was hit by a pitched ball. It looked as if Worcester would score, but Lezott struck out, McGrath fouled out to Trafford, and Hayes went out on an infield grounder. Murphy, who had previously been umpiring, now amiably exchanged places with Sullivan, who had been pitching, and Harvard men went out in one, two, three order...
Boston started out in the first inning at a rapid pace. Long hit safely to right and came home on a passed ball, an error by Howe, and Sullivan's fine hit to centre. Brodie flied out. Stovey hit a grounder to the infield and got around to second on an attempt to retire Long at third. Sullivan's hit brought him home also. Quinn followed Sullivan with a long fly to right. Frothingham caught it prettily and made a fine throw to first, retiring Sullivan before he could get back. For Harvard Dean and Hallowell flied out, and Hovey...
