...from Child's in the seventh. Great credit is due Nichols, Allen and Smith. Their play throughout was as steady as that of veterans, Allen's throwing to second being quick and accurate, and Nichols' pitching admirable in every respect, while Smith, besides covering first in his usual faultless manner, did the only good work at the bat for Harvard...
