...Harvard. Smith and Foster fouled out, at the beginning of the third, and Edgerly hit a grounder to Edwards, who ran with the ball to first, cutting him off. Princeton went out in order, leaving the score unaltered. This inning was marked by a beautiful one-hand running catch, followed by a perfect throw, by Edgerly. Harvard went out in order in the fourth, Winslow and Beaman on strikes, and Tilden on a fly to Toler. For Princeton, Toler reached first on an error by Edgerly, and went around to third on a put-out and a wild pitch, only...
Tuesday's game with the Live Oaks was one of those occasional occurrences which result from a combination of superior playing on the part of your opponents, and the hard luck arising from inopportune base-hits, and errors made when they would be productive of most disastrous results. Leeds's beautiful, one-hand, jumping catch was the marked feature of the game. The score tells the rest...

For the New Havens, the pitcher had a puzzling way of jerking the first two balls over the heads of both striker and catcher, and then of letting the third one come swiftly towards the striker...
...toss, and after "skunking" their opponents were themselves served in like manner, though Annan secured his first base by a fine hit. The next two innings added nothing to the score; but in the fourth the line was broken, and each side scored one run, without, however, earning it. A fine one-hand stop and throw to first by White marked the fielding of the Harvards in this inning. The fifth inning was a "blinder" for both sides; and in the sixth, after the Bostons had been retired for two runs, the Harvards went in, and, by a little fumbling...
