Yesterday afternoon the University team held a long practice, devoted chiefly to coaching the infield on catching the base runners. This work followed a short batting practice. On the diamond the men at first showed rather poor judgement, but improved later in this respect. The fielding was not as lively as in the recent games, although the throwing to bases, especially from the outfield, was at times very accurate...
...Brown game, and gave four men their bases on balls. He fielded his position well, however, and ran four men out at first. Currier was fast and wide awake, held Castle well, and made one accurate throw to second in the first inning, catching Yerkes by several feet. The infield without exception played an errorless game. Simons, besides accepting his only chance, made a clean single, sending McCall to third, from where he scored on a wild pitch. McCall and Leonard played with their usual speed. Of the outfield Harvey had the most chances, and made one splendid catch...

Dexter made a scratch hit, and Pounds followed with a two-base hit, sending Dexter to third. Harvey's infield hit scored Dexter, and Pounds came in on a passed ball...
...Academy at Milton this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. The Freshmen are expected to win this afternoon as Hartford, who was dropped from the University squad on Monday, will pitch. Considerable improvement in batting has been made since the game with Middlesex on Saturday. The fielding, especially in the infield, is erratic. Palmer will go in at centre field and Cutting will be moved to right...

Although practice has been prohibited, experienced men will play on both teams, and the contest will probably be close and interesting. Chances favor the Cercle Francais as the entire infield of last year's victorious team will play today. There will be organized cheering by members of both clubs and refreshments will be served...
