...ninth inning, McLaughlin seemed to let up a little in his pitching. Thompson hit past first base, Minot failing to try for an out at first, though the play seemed possible. Watson flied out to Rogers, but Judson, batting for Carvahar, was passed, putting Thompson on second, and after Howard had flied out, Thompson scored from second by exceptionally fast running on Owen's infield hit to Lanigan, the throw from third to first and from first to the home plate being a bit slow. Judson reached third on this play but Matchneer sent a grounder to Marshall...
...good form at shortstop, and his poor playing may perhaps be attributed to his recent injury. He made a muff of a hard grounder in the opening inning, and in the fifth, with men on second and third, he made a wild throw to the plate which let in two runs. Hicks was ineffective up to the sixth inning, and allowed eight hits, one of which was a home run. On the other hand, the Harvard batters were unable to touch S. V. White's pitching. He secured 12 strike-outs to five for Hicks, and gave no bases...

In the first inning two singles and an error by Howe gave Brookline two runs. An error by Desha in the third let in Brookline's final run. A slight rally by the College nine in the beginning of the fourth inning brought in its first run. The feature of the game, however, was the eighth inning rally which resulted in five runs. Up to this time the College nine had shown little ability...
...After they passed the bridge the water became rougher and both crews were compelled to lower the stroke. Here Technology's superior weight told, and although the Juniors were rowing in much better form, the former began to draw away faster. Towards the end of the race both crews let down somewhat, and finished easily with four lengths of open water between them...
