Three times the Freshmen had the bases filled with one man out, and each times failed to make a run. Twice the whole infield went to pieces, and each time Groton scored. Although the strong wind that blew across the field was partly responsible for the nine errors made by the Freshmen, most of them were inexcusable. The one encouraging feature of the game was the way the Freshmen rallied in the tenth inning, and made three successive hit. Alexander was the only man on the nine who played a careful snappy game. He struck out fifteen...
...Freshman nine lost to the Boston Latin School team yesterday in a carelessly played game, by the score of 12 to 11. The defeat was the natural result of the carelessness and lack of snap which has characterized the team's practice for some time. The infield played poorly, missing many easy chances. Neither Hutchinson nor Alexander, who replaced him in the fifth inning, pitched effectively, and they were especially weak when men were on bases. White, the Latin School pitcher, was steady and fairly effective. Parker supported the Freshman pitchers well, and caught six men attempting to steal second...
...Second Nine defeated Roxbury Latin yesterday afternoon, 13 runs to 1. The Harvard team was very weak in the outfield, and the playing of the infield was erratic and ragged. The base running was good, but the batting was not very encouraging. With Farmer, the substitute Roxbury Latin pitcher in the box, the Second Nine scored their runs, not by clean hitting, but largely by fielding errors by the school boys, and by bases on balls. In the last two innings, the College nine were unable to hit Schoenfuss, the regular school pitcher...
...Roxbury Latin batters at will until the seventh inning, when a three base hit by Schoenfuss and an error by Jaynes gave the Roxbury team their only run. He was replaced by Winsor, who was equally effective. Jaques gave both pitchers good support and threw well to bases. The infield had but few chances, but did not accept them with the speed and accuracy which will be necessary against a stronger team. Jaynes, who played in centre field yesterday, was very slow in the field and weak...
...field the Freshmen played well, accepting every chance without an error. The infield gave the pitchers good support, and handled the wet bali well. Bennett, at short-stop, was fast and accurate in fielding, but made some poor throws. All the fielders, in their eagerness for swift fielding, were not careful enough in throwing to bases...
