...University team has been going through a stage of rather poor hitting recently, but showed signs of improvement in the Amherst game, owing partly to a change in the batting order. This has again been slightly changed, and, it is hoped, for the last time. The game this afternoon, should be hard and exciting as the Pennsylvania nine is stronger than it was on May 14, and the University team must show considerable improvement in batting if it is to do as well as it did on that...
...batting order of the University team, which has been fairly well settled for the last few games, has again been changed on account of the recent poor hitting...
Excellent pitching and poor batting on both sides characterized the game which was on the whole uninteresting. Clarkson allowed only one scratch hit, struck out nine men, and threw out at second the only man to reach that base. He allowed four bases on balls. R.W.

Although the inability of the University team to hit a school pitcher was somewhat discouraging, the team seemed to have regained the steadiness...

This is the real mischief of the business,--not in the act itself, but in the exaggeration and ill-directed utilization. Such occurrences as the explosive demonstrations by yachts aligned upon the last mile of boat...
...Cambridge scheduled for May 18 was cancelled on account of rain, this is the only game that Harvard with play with Brown this season. The Brown team has been erratic in its work this year owing to its entire re-organization. Although it has played at times extremely poor ball, as in the two games against Yale on April 21 and May 9, when it was defeated by scores of 19 to 1 and 10 and 1 respectively, it has at other times played very well, defeating Princeton on April 25 by a score of 7 to 3 and Dartmouth...
