...batting cannot yet be called satisfactory, for in three innings, with two out and a man on third base, the batter failed to advance the runner. Bunting, too, was deplorably weak. The fielding was fast, with the exception of two inexcusable fumbles of grounders by Carr, and the muff of an easy outfield fly by H. Kernan. Coburn showed great unsteadiness in his pitching, letting up noticeably after the first inning and giving six bases on balls. Stillman, who replaced him in the last three innings, proved no steadier. R. Kernan caught well, and threw to bases with accuracy, catching...
...right of first. In the fifth Wilder singled. Myers then hit a grounder to Stillman who fielded Wilder out at second, whence Coolidge shot the ball over to first in time to put out Myers. This double play retired Pennsylvania. In the eighth Coolidge reached first on Noble's muff and stole second. Stillman hit out. Clarkson got his base on balls; and Randall was hit by the ball. This put three men on base, but Pennsylvania steadied down and retired the next two batters. In the ninth, with two out, White walked to first and Swain singled. Orbin batted...

Cregg made a run for Dartmouth in the sixth inning on Randall's muff of a throw, Coolidge's poor throw and a wild pitch by Stillman. The second run was made by Drew, who singled, took second on Cregg's base on balls, third on a passed ball and came home on Abbott's sacrifice...
...Wendell's three-base hit and Barry's wild throw to first. In the ninth inning George got to third on Lynch's wild throw to catch him at first. Then after two outs, Coolidge got to first on Gray's fumble, and both runners scored on Barry's muff of Clarkson's easy fly. Wendell then ended the game...
...first. Metcalf stole third. Welton hit through Pierce, and Metcalf scored. Welton stole second and third. Barnes was given a base on balls and stole second. Chittenden's hit scored both runners. Green struck out. In the sixth Patton hit safely, and took second on Hamlen's muff of a ball thrown to catch him off first. Barnes made a short hit, advancing Patton to third, and then stole second. Both runners scored on Green's hit. Yale scored again in the eighth on errors by Fischel, Bennett and Hamlen, and a stolen base. The score: YALE...
