...balls but Linn caught Brokaw's hit and Knickerbocker was left. Willard bit long but centre field ran well and caught it. Henshaw struck out and was in same manner followed by Hawley. King led off with a three base hit away out beyond Linn's reach; a wild pitch brought him home. Howland assisted Willard to put out Watts, Durell reached second, Henshaw did some good throwing to second in trying to catch him. Payne made a base hit and Evans did not throw far enough so that Durell got home, and Payne reached second. Willard's good stop...
...game or forfeit it. Since it was decided to play it, the Harvard men should have done their best. Instead of this, however, with the express purpose of delaying the game, no one tried to play.

Dean led off with a clean hit to left, stole second and came in on Linn's single. Linn got second...
...chances are that the annual Exeter-Andover base ball game this year will be exceedingly close. For Exeter, Trafford will catch and White will pitch; Flagg, the captain, will cover second base, Sawyer third base, Soule, short stop. The contest for first base is close between Shute and Heffelfinger...
