PROVIDENCE, R. I., May 22, 1901.--The Brown baseball team shut out Dartmouth this afternoon by the score of 5 to 0. The Brown nine made eight hits and two errors, and Dartmouth five hits and only one error. The batteries were Wash-burn and Whittemore for Brown, and Varney and Roe for Dartmouth...
Stillman was not as successful as usual, although with good support he would have scored a shut out. He gave three bases on balls in succession in the first inning, but after that steadied down somewhat. He was hit for only three singles, and struck out eight men. Kernan misjudged three high fouls, but otherwise he showed some improvement. Except in one instance he threw to bases well, and held pitched balls reliably. Frantz was weak at the bat, partly because of swinging too hard. He fielded faultlessly. Clark made a costly error but he covered plenty of ground...
...Harvard nine won an easy game from the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on Saturday by a score of 10 to 3. Both Stillman and Clarkson were very effective, and kept the hits so well scattered that, had it not been for several bad errors, Pennsylvania would have been shut out. At the bat the team continued its recent improvement in hitting when hits are needed, and lost few chances to score. The work in the field was marred by the errors of Reid and Frantz which allowed Pennsylvania to score. Aside from this the game showed that the team...
...team work and good base-running, and the team seemed to rely too much on the pitchers. These faults, coupled with indolent work at the bat, were the cause of the defeat by Williams, a much inferior team. Then there came a decided improvement, which resulted in the three shut outs against Colby, Bowdoin and Lafayette. On these games is based the present judgment of the team. The men ran bases with good judgment, field quickly and well, made good hits at the right time, and worked hard throughout the game. Faults, however, were still apparent. The hitting...
...University nine shut out Colby in a fast game yesterday afternoon by a score of 10 to 0. Harvard's playing in all departments of the game was better than at any time this season, and showed that the team is reaching satisfactory form. The most important improvement was the timely batting. Hits came just when they were needed, and none were wasted. The base-running showed speed and good judgment, and the fielding was clean and accurate...
