Harvard suffered another crushing defeat yesterday afternoon at the hands of the Holy Cross nine, the score being even to one in favor of the latter. The fielding of Harvard was slovenly and poor and the batting weak; in fact the playing, as a whole, was poorer than one would expect to see in a class game. The team went to pieces at critical moments and failed to pull together at all. Rand and Burgess were the only men who seemed to know how to play ball. The former played a good all-round game, while the latter, although making...
...pieces in the fifth inning at Yale field today, giving the home team an easy victory, 11 to 2. Outside of this inning, however, it was a fine game. Capt. Gregory of Amherst, pitched cleverly, half the hits scored against him being either scratches or due to his fielders' poor judgment. Sullivan and Montague, of Amherst, also did well, double play by Kellogg and Montague being especially brilliant. Redington's long running catch was Yale's best play...
...seniors, Reed pitched fairly well, although a little wild at times, and Bacon played a reliable game. His throwing was very poor, however, and bases were stolen off him at will. Adams and Brown made some clever stops but also made some costly errors. Bigelow assisted in a pretty double play, catching Griffin's fly in short left field and throwing out O'Malley at the plate...

Harvard was greatly crippled by the loss of Winslow, who was laid off on account of a broken finger. Dean, who took his place at third, put up a very poor game, making four errors out of five chances. Then again, Wrenn, who has lately been suffering from tonsilitis, was unable to play the game out and his place was taken in the fourth inning by Morton, who made two errors. Buckman, who took Scannell's place in the eighth...
...fine game, allowing only four singles and giving no bases on balls and striking out 16 men. He had the rather unusual record, however, of hitting seven men with pitched balls. Brown had plenty of work to do, but although he made few errors, his throwing to bases was poor, and his passed balls and missed third strikes were numerous. With the exception of McVey the infield was weak and in the outfield Chandler made two bad errors. Edmunds distinguished himself by a fine running catch of a long fly by Scott. The sophomores put up a much poorer game...
