...inning Cook made a pretty hit on which he might have perfectly well come home, but he kept turning around to look at the ball, and was thrown out at third. In the seventh inning in trying to make two bases Cobb's sacrifice, he was caught at the plate on a poor slide. In the same inning Bates was caught at second, when he had plenty of time to get back to the base...
...Cook fouled out to the catcher, and the first inning ended with three runs to the good. In the second inning, after Cobb and Bates were out, Dean got his base on balls, stole second, and came in on Hallowell's two bagger to centre. Hallowell got to the plate on a hit by Hovey.

In the fourth Bates reached first...

Worcester made a run on a base on balls, a hit, a wild pitch and Howe's muff at the plate of Cobb's throw. Again Harvard's first three men went out, two of them at second base...

That is, the umpire said he did. Everybody else thought differently. Lynch, who had mean while reached third, came in on Hovey's wild throw to the plate. A wild throw by Cobb enabled Bird also to score. This ended the runs for the game. In the eighth, with one man out, O'Brien hit safely. Parks...
