...third and deciding game of the Yale baseball series was lost by Harvard to Yale, 13 to 8, on the Boston American League diamond, Saturday, June 20. This final game was extremely disappointing owing to the fact that the Crimson lead of four runs in the first inning, which seemed to assure victory for Harvard, proved of little avail against the Yale runs acquired later in the game through the deplorable lack of control of the four pitchers used by Harvard, Mahan, Whitney, Hitchcock, and Frye...
...next year's seven. The regulars who will be lost through graduation are J. G. M. Carnochan, Jr., S. P. Clark, S. T. Hopkins, P. H. Smart, and Captain Willetts. Only two of those remaining played on the team regularly, these being W. H. Claflin '15, who will lead the seven next year, and M. B. Phillips...

Holy Cross recently...

At one time the first was nearly a length ahead, but the second cut the lead to a question of feet at the finish just off the float. The unofficial time for the race was 9.30. In the next race, the substitute or "gentlemen's" four, consisting of the two University subs., Busk and Herrick, and the two Freshman subs, Lovell and Baker, outstripped the Freshman...
