...baseball nine won the second game from Dartmouth on the University diamond Saturday afternoon by a score of 11 to 2. Both teams lacked life and snap, and the game was very slow and uninteresting. Harvard showed better judgment in batting and base-running than in Friday's game, and in general made a tolerably good showing for this time of year. All three of Harvard's errors were inexcusable and were the direct causes of Dartmouth's two runs. The Dartmouth players, though at times they handled the ball with good speed and accuracy, were very unreliable, and generally...
...University nine defeated Dartmouth, 4 to 2, in a slow game yesterday afternoon. The regular diamond was too wet for use, so the game was played on the practice diamond, thus bringing the sun in the batters' eyes and helping the pitchers considerably. Taking this into consideration, Clarkson's work in striking out sixteen men was not remarkable. Clarkson pitched a steady game, and Dartmouth's only two runs were the result of an error. Although Varney was hit oftener than Clarkson, he kept the hits well scattered. His support in the field was not good. Harvard did well...
...Coolidge got a base on balls and Clark sacrificed him to second. Wendell struck out. Coolidge went to third on Reid's hit and scored on Wainwright's bad throw. Reid went to third on the play and scored on Stillman's single. Story ended the inning by a slow hit to Varney. Dartmouth got men on second and third in the ninth inning with only one out, but a strike-out and a ground ball to Murphy ended the game without further scoring...
...Yale nine has played only two games since the close of the Easter trip on April 11. On April 13 Wesleyan was defeated 5 to 0 in a slow and spiritless game. The team showed the results of the southern trip in steadiness and reliability both in the field and at the bat, but there was a lack of life and energy. The feature of the game was the pitching of Garvin, who gave Wesleyan only one hit. After a week of very unsatisfactory attempts at practice, the team defeated Amherst last Saturday by the score...
Hamlin is extremely conscientious and has been improving very rapidly. He is still slow in getting off his throw, but his batting is better than before vacation...
