Another ten inning game was played on Holmes field yesterday afternoon between the freshmen and the Fall River High School team. Ninety-two played without snap, and the baserunning as usual was poor. The batting was weak except in the tenth inning when Cummin and Wrenn made clean hits, thereby bringing in the winning runs. Spalding pitched a good game, but his support from Hollis was, at times, very loose. Wrenn played a beautiful game at second base with the exception of his inexcusable muffs of thrown balls. Carpenter played faultlessly at first, and Cummin made good catches in left...

Hinckley '89, and Holton L. S., are both doing good work in the half mile run, and Williams '91, and Deming '90, S., are running the 120 yards hurdle race in 17 seconds...
...times he seemed to lose partial control of the ball, but he was finely supported by Henshaw throughout the whole game. The batting of the team was weak. After the first inning only three hits were made, one of these being a scratch. This is a deplorably poor showing. Most of the men were slow in starting for first base, and when on bases, were slow in starting...
