James, number 5, is erratic in controling his slide and is often slow in getting away on the first part of the recover. He has been inclined to be late on the catch, but is improving in this respect...
...practice of the nine yesterday was long and hard, but was far from satisfactory. In the batting practice all the men hit well, but the base-running was slow and showed lack of judgment. Devens and Fincke both showed great improvement in hitting. In the field the work was fast and the throwing accurate, but an unusual number of errors were made on ground hits and thrown balls. Clark and Stillman were given plenty of practice in fielding bunts, and both caught the runners almost invariably. Fincke made several difficult stops, but missed some easy throws. C. F. Payne...
...afternoon the team practiced fielding bunts, making double plays and catching men between bases. Stillman and Clark were weak on bunts and Kendall often left the base before the ball reached him. Coolidge and Fincke played steadily and at times brilliantly. The double play work was rather slow, the runners being caught only a few times...
...very effective and makes up for any other slight deficiencies. Ladd at 5 is often late at the catch, but is soon coached out of the fault after a row is well started. Harding yesterday replaced Lawrence at 4. Lawrence tended to be late at the catch, and slow in getting his hands away. Wood at 3 pulls one of the strongest oars in the boat, which makes up for a little awkwardness with his hands and in his blade work. He has a tendency to crouch in his seat and to let his head drop between his shoulders...
...Yale freshmen by defeating them on the University diamond Saturday afternoon. Harvard scored eight runs by batting and by taking advantage of Yale's errors. Clarkson pitched remarkably well, striking out nineteen men, and with good support would have shut Yale out. The fielding on both sides was slow and uncertain, allowing several men to be credited with hits who should have been retired. The Yale infield was much superior to Harvard's, but the outfielders were slow in returning hits and did not cover much ground. Next to Clarkson, Story did the best work for Harvard...
