Harvard played an active game all along in the fielding work, but lost several good chances to score from poor batting. As in Tuesday's game nearly all the hits were into the air. Hovey did not play particularly well, losing all but one of his chances for assists, although he had some very hard balls to handle...
Cornell went out in one, two, three order for the next two innings, and got a man to second in the third, where he was left. For Harvard in the third, three men got their base, and then were left by poor batting. In the fourth, Highlands got a pretty base hit to centre field, got to second and third on a wild throw, and scored on a wild pitch...
...think of putting up such a game as that of yesterday. The heavy batting of the team was creditable, yet the weak pitchers whom the Worcester team put into the box were to a great extent responsible for this. The base running in most cases was due to the poor work of Technology's catcher, both in stopping the ball and in throwing to second. Many times the men ran heedlessly and with absolutely no good judgment. The fielding of the nine was simply unpardonable. Cassatt at short stop made his customary errors, together with a few good plays...
...being made off either, but Bates struck out the greatest number. Corbett caught for the second time this year but played a weak game, his throwing to bases being especially wild. In the inning in which Trinity scored Bates struck out four men, but owing to Corbett's poor support two men reached first. Harvard played a fair game but batted too many balls high into the air. Cook and Mason batted especially well. Lowell '94, who played his first game on the 'varsity, took Corbett's place in right field; his running catch of a fly close...
Harvard beat the Boston Unions, yesterday, by a score of 10 to 7, but the game was probably as poor an exhibition of base ball as has been seen on Jarvis, this year. The batting was certainly a redeeming feature. A home run by Corbett, three-baggers by Hallowell and Mason, two-baggers by Paine and Hovey, and seven singles, being a creditable record for one game. But the fielding was wretched for the most part. It was only owing to the equally bad work of the Boston Unions, that saved Harvard from defeat. The game was interesting...
