...base Harvard's infield played a good game, the best work being done by Whittemore and Scannell. The latter played in splendid form and stopped Highlands's somewhat erratic pitching remarkably well. Corbett made one inexcusable error and fielded the ball in a very slovenly manner, while McCarthy was slow in starting when a hit was made. The score...

The only man who had no error scored against his name was Hayes, but he was so very slow that several times the Amherst men were credited with hits to right field which should have been out with a quick fielder...
