...victory from Yale the freshman nine has lost to Brown. The temptation is strong immediately to attribute the defeat to over-confidence, and unsparingly to blame the nine. We believe this would not be just. The circumstances of the games were different; the Mott Haven team needed the pitcher who played last Saturday and his absence yesterday weakened the nine considerably. And yet it cannot be denied that this is not a full explanation; the style of play shown by the players generally was below that of Saturday. The nine is in a critical condition. If the players can regain...
...last man was out. Harvard's success was largely due to the battery work of Paine and Scannell. While the former did not strike out many men, he prevented Yale from hitting safely at critical moments.

In the field Stevens and Garrison did the best work. Both made very creditable catches of difficult fly balls...

The inferiority of their opponents in the two last games has caused the players to become somewhat careless in their work. This indifference should be remedied by contesting with stronger teams. The score by innings is as follows...
...represent the freshman class in baseball and in rowing this spring. Last year the freshman nine was seriously crippled only a day or two before the first game with the Princeton freshmen in that the man, who was then regarded as the strongest pitcher the nine had, was put upon probation. That such loss should not be suffered this year is the concern of the whole University; for the freshman teams bear the responsibility and have the honor of representing not only their class but their University...
