...fielder as there is in the country, and his perfect record on second speaks well for his ability as an in-fielder. He has improved greatly at the bat and is now one of the surest batters in the nine, while his base running is sharp and quick...
Harvard took the lead at the start, although rowing a little unevenly at first. She soon settled down and rowed the race in very fine form from start to finish. Perkins set a quick stroke at the beginning and, by the time Harvard reached the first half-mile buoy, she was a good half length ahead, pulling thirty-six strokes to the minute. Harvard kept increasing the lead and, at the end of the first mile, had gained over a length on the Columbia crew. The mile was made in just six minutes. Up to this time both crews rowed...

It is expected that the time made this year at New London will be considerably less than it was last year, although the time then was better than ever before made...

...catch from Child's bat in the ninth innings, and Baker made a brilliant stop of a hit from Child's in the seventh. Great credit is due Nichols, Allen and Smith. Their play throughout was as steady as that of veterans, Allen's throwing to second being quick and accurate, and Nichols' pitching admirable in every respect, while Smith, besides covering first in his usual faultless manner, did the only good work at the bat for Harvard...
