...Butterfield, the 1921 pitcher, struck out eight men, while the Andover pitchers, Stevens and Hale, struck out twice that number. Only three bases on balls were given by Butterfield, while 11 bases were given to the Freshman batters. T. J. Meehan, the third baseman, and S. Baldwin, shortstop, each made three runs for the 1921 team. Two runs each were scored by J. Holmes, A. B. Blair, R. B. Shaw and Butterfield, and one run each by J. Baldwin, E. L. Bigelow, M. P. Davis, J. D. Pratt and C. F. Havemeyer...
...University's best chance to score was in the third inning, when T. H. Gammack '20 singled to centre field and reached third, only to be left there when R. P. Hallowell '20 was thrown out at first. Throughout the game Captain R. E. Gross '19 at shortstop, J. H. Ward '18 in left field, and Coolidge on first were the University's strongest players...
Captain R. E. Gross '19 will play his last game today, since he leaves next week for the fourth officers' training camp. His departure will be a great loss for he is a heavy hitter and covers a great deal of ground at shortstop. His leadership and aggressiveness, however, will be the qualities most missed by the nine...
...Devens team this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in the first game of the season to be played away from Soldiers Field. The contest, which will be played at Ayer, promises to be close. The cantonment nine will have the advantage of two former Red Sox players, Cooney at shortstop and Captain Janvrin at second. As the regular University pitcher, D. J. O'Keeffe '18, will be saved for Saturday's game with Yale, Coach Duffy will probably choose A. L. Peirson '20 for duty in the box today. The latter pitched excellent ball against the Portland Naval Reserve...
...base running and failure to hit in the crucial moment. Twice players were caught off base by the pitcher. Peirson, who, with Gammack formed the University battery, held Portland to four safeties and might have scored a shut-out except for poor support. Wolverton, who replaced Captain Gross at shortstop, played an excellent game in the infield, accepting six chances without error. A double play, Hallo-well to Bright to Johnson, was a feature of the day's play. Dickson at second base made a very pretty catch of Burn's fly in right field in the first inning...
