...general play on either side was far from brilliant, but was as good as the recent misfortunes to both Nines would warrant us in expecting. It is unfair to criticise Perry as if he were an experienced catcher, and he deserves every praise for his steady play and evident determination to take all chances. Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser. Nevins, in the field, made a remarkable left-hand catch, and at the pitcher's position his throwing did great execution...
Notwithstanding the intense heat, a good number of students and others witnessed this game, which, on account of the uneven play of our Nine, was very one-sided. Cutler, Kent, and White played finely. Mr. Tyler gave satisfaction as umpire...
...return game between our Nine and Yale filled the benches on Jarvis better than any previous event of the year, and the throng of ladies, each bedecked with fluttering magenta, reminded us of old times.

As the record shows, the game was all one way from the first, and resulted in a Harvard victory...
...Eleven played a game at Salem with the Alphas on Saturday, May 17. The first inning was close and well played, and resulted in a tie, each side scoring 45. The fielding of our Eleven was very sharp; the noticeable points being Spinney's wicket-keeping, Warner's play at long-stop, and Green's at point. The batting was fair. Sullivan was not out for 16, and Rives scored his nine by a succession of very brilliant hits. In the second inning, when the Alphas were seven out for 66, they hit their wickets, hoping...
