...base on balls, went to second on Frantz's single and scored on Stillman's hit. In the second inning Coolidge opened with a single to centre field, went to second on Paine's muff of a throw, and to third on Putnam's out. George hit a slow ball to Barry, Paine muffed the throw and Coolidge scored. Harvard did not score again until the eighth inning. Then four successive singles by Reid, Frantz, Stillman and Devens, brought in the last...
...Weld crew also won the intermediate race by four lengths, pulling away from their opponents from the start. The men in the waist of the Newell boat were not effective and made the whole crew slow and lifeless. The time for this race was not taken...

Kendall at first was extremely reliable and Keene, though he made some bad errors, was clever in putting out men at second. Lovering played fairly well but missed several chances and interfered inexcusably with the runners. Wood played a steady game at second. The work of the outfield for both teams was very creditable...
