Coach Mitchell has once again revised his batting order so that it now reads as it did for most of the earlier season encounters. B. H. Bassett '31, diminutive Sophomore, will resume his centre field and lead-off position while J. D. Dudley '31 will replace S. L. Batchelder '31 behind the bat. Dudley's work during the contests earlier in the spring was of high calibre, giving him a batting average of .280, the fifth best on the team, and the reasons for Coach Mitchell's benching him for so long are a mystery. His return should materially bolster...
...Crimson batters tallied five runs in their half of the initial frame. Nugent walked, McGrath flied out, and Donaghy singled, sending the diminutive lead-off man to third. The Harvard captain stole to the key-stone sack just before Ticknor was handed a free pass to first. Whitney then banged out a safety, scoring Nugent. The next play produced two more runs. Gilligan poked a grounder at pitcher White whose throw home to cut off Donaghy went wide of its mark, letting in the third baseman and Ticknor, while Gilligan scampered to the hot corner. He subsequently stole home when...
...absence of Coach Mitchell, put W. H. MacHale '31 on the mound. The latter pitched good ball until the eighth, when four hits were bunched off him for two runs. Until this stanza, only one run was secured off his delivery, that in the opening inning when Carlsten, lead-off man for the Red and Blue, clouted a home...
Harvard started its scoring early, aided by a high wind which seemed to trouble the visiting gardeners in judging files. B. H. Bassett '31, diminutive lead-off man, started the first inning with a Texas leaguer to short center. He stole second, was advanced to third by Donaghy's single, both scoring on J. A. Prior's hit to short left...
Harvard's run-making was over, but the Wildcats' scoring was yet to come. In the eighth inning things began to happen which seemed to indicate that a New Hampshire score might be shortly expected. Lynch, lead-off man of the Granite State batting order, doubled, and MacFarland, a former Exeter player, advanced him to third with a pretty single. Cutts walked the next man on four straight balls, filling the bases, with no outs. Hoyt, however, field out to right field and Jones' throw-in picked a runner off second, making two out. Shea grounded out to the pitcher...
