...Boyden. Smith also got first on balls. A wild throw by Henshaw away over Willard's head gave Allen and Boyden a chance to get in. Willard's wild throw home let in Smith. Edgerly struck out. Evans fouled out to third, and Corning's fly was caught by shortstop. McLeod followed with a foul and out by Allen. Foster led off with a three base hit beyond left. Winslow struck out. Dean caught Beaman's hit. Foster got home on another wild throw by Henshaw to third. Phillips was given first on balls and reached second on McLeod...
...fair game, batting moderately well, and playing steadily with the exception of the pitcher, who gave a good many men bases on balls. The base running of the nine was weak and Wrenn was particularly noticeable for his carelessness in this respeet. In the third inning, Curtis, who played shortstop, injured his knee and Bell took his place. The features of the game were a hard running catch, by Cummins, and a home run by one of the Cambridge nine. The following men composed the freshman team: Hale, c; Churchill, p; Childs, 1b; Wrenn, 2b; Curtis and Bell, s.s; Wood...

Pope is the only candidate for first base and is a good man there, though it was hoped that he would occupy his old position as shortstop, but owing to an injured knee the captain thought it safer to place him where there is less chance for a renewal of the injury. Belcher will cover 2nd base and Lenton will play at short-stop. Third base will be covered by Sullivan, who is a freshman. Storrs, Burns...
...prospects for a strong nine at Dartmouth are excellent. The candidates practice daily in the new cage and a good deal of excellent material has been developed. Of last year's nine only four men are left, Williams, '90, shortstop; Baehr, '90, pitcher; Ranney, M. S., and Jones, '90, catchers. For the other positions there is no lack of candidates, and besides Baehr, Viau and Woodcock, '91, and Kendall, '89, are trying for pitcher's position. The men are being coached by Leon, and owing to competition they are all training very carefully. The athletic team for the Worcester tournament...
