...freshman team played a very fair game with the exception of the first inning, when the battery's errors cost five runs. The base running was poor. Clark played a beautiful game in the outfield and Dickinson covered first well. No other player deserves especial mention save the catcher. Corbett gave about as poor an exhibition of ball playing as was possible and seemed totally incompetent to fill his position. His work at the bat was equally disappointing...
...playing his game yet. Weld is a candidate for the position, but it is not unlikely that Babbitt would make the best man for the place. Luce was weak on thrown balls yesterday; if Wood plays it will be at second, while Luce may go into the outfield, or, some say, to first. He was originally the pitcher for the class...

Simons has been doing very good work in the outfield and will probably be in right field when the team is finally made up. It is possible that Crosby will complete the list of the outfielders...
...game yesterday was a complete contrast to that of Saturday. Howe's pitching was remarkably wild, the Bostons taking first base on balls nine times. His throwing to bases was also poor. In the infield Hovey made three errors and Dean one. The outfield played well except for one badly misjudged fly by Dickinson. Hallowell and Frothingham both made beautiful catches, each assisting in a timely double play. Cook at third made a fine catch of a ball thrown high over his head. He also made the only clean hit that Harvard got, and his sacrifice in the fifth inning...
...preparatory school nine. The Harvard team played a very listless game and showed little snap. Minton pitched the greater part of the game and would have been more effective had he not given so many bases on balls. Corbett caught and was undoubtedly not in good practice. The outfield had nothing to do and so could make no errors. The team ran bases fairly well but their general play was very slow. The men were slow in taking their places and caused the game to drag. The nine had little difficulty in hitting the ball and batted well. The teams...
