...diamond outfits, triumphing in every game, and scoring 50 runs against 14 for the Crimson during that period. In the last game. Harvard knocked Davidson and fons, the two leading right-handers of the Worcester nine, off the mound. The Crudaders' two runs were both scored by Harrell, their shortstop, who hit a home run on the first ball pitched in the game, and who drove out a triple in the sixth, on which W. B.

Sullivan '28, who shared the shortstop's duties with J. P. Chase '28, were the only mistakes in an exhibition of clean, flawless fielding. Sullivan allowed Jenkins's hard grounder to skid through his legs, but as his glove did not touch the horsehide, he was not charged with an error...
