Forty Harvard graduates in Providence, who went to the Harvard-Brown game in this city last Wednesday, saw Harvard play the most listless baseball that has been seen here this season. When a nine has done well during the year, it may seem to some unnecessary to criticize it adversely for one bad game, but it is only in the hope that the slump may be recognized and checked in time that these lines are written...
...HAVEN, CONN., June 3.--The Yale baseball team was defeated by Dartmouth today by the score of 12 to 2. Yale's playing was listless and weak in every department. The score by innings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 r. h. e. Yale, 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 7 7 Dartmouth...
...base hit out of six times at bat. Stephenson, while showing some improvement in covering the ball, proved weak on low pitches, and slow in throwing to bases. At the bat, he stepped too quickly, and did not watch out the balls. At first base, Randall was not only listless himself, but failed to inspire the rest of the team with any life. While his batting work was fairly good, he proved very slow on the bases. Of the second baseman, Coolidge batted better than heretofore, but was not up to his usual form in either bunting or base-running...
Both the batting and fielding of the University squad yesterday was the most listless seen this year, and even at this early date seemed most discouraging. The infield candidates held practice for the first time on the diamond, and in this department also, the men were slow and sluggish. The Freshman squad held practice of much the same nature. This squad has now been reduced to 34 men, excluding the battery candidates...
...back formation. Campbell and Clark were very slow in getting down under punts, and on the offence were unable to afford any interference. They were as reliable as usual on the defence. Matthews showed the worst form of the season at quarterback. Besides running off the plays in a listless, uncertain way, he fumbled five passes from the centre and was unable to steady the team for offensive work. Kernan and Ristine did not keep their feet, but their failure to gain was partially due to the weakness of the rest of the team. Graydon and Mifflin were equally ineffective...
