...Yale, who was looked upon as a sure winner by Harvard as well as Yale, finished only second. Wright set a lively pace at the very start and led up to the last stretch when Corbin of Harvard, who had been running a splendidly-judged race, made the prettiest spurt of the afternoon, and crossed the line first amid the enthusiastic cheering of the Harvard delegation. For it was Harvard's winning six points, (Batchelder finishing third in this event) which put Yale behind in the total score. Corbin's time was 2 min. 1 4-5 seconds - unusually good...
...Cummin's inexcusable fumble of Walker's clean hit to centre-field. Walker took second on the throw in, and third on Reed's sacrifice. Whittemore hit the first ball for what seemed to be a two-bagger to centre-field, but Lake spoiled '95's chances by the prettiest catch of the game after a long run from left. One, two, three was the order in the eighth. In the ninth Dreyfus hit cleanly to right-centre, and took third on Spalding's wild-throw in an attempt to force him at second on Cassatt's grounder.

Hallowell then repeated the performance, and Cook scored amid the enthusiastic cheering of the Harvard men. Frothingham hit to Young, who caught Mason as he tried...
...yard flat dash was one of the prettiest races of the day. Carey ran beautifully, lowering the world's record 1-5 of a second. Lee and Vredenburg had an exciting race for second place, Lee winning by a desperate spurt...
