...catcher's position, was evident in all the games. The men showed unexpected strength in batting, which was due chiefly to the weakness of the opposing pitchers. The fielding, especially in the Boston Latin and Pomfret games, was decidedly ragged, and there seemed to be a general lack of snap and life. The game with Thayer Academy on Thursday showed the team at its best. The fielding was accurate and the men showed a good amount of team work, bunching their hits at critical times, and finally winning by a score of 9 to 6. In all the games, however...

...Weld undoubtedly shows the best form of any crew on the river, and in spite of several changes is travelling fast and on even keel, a thing which few other crews have secured. Their snap and life are especially notable. Wheel-wright has recently given place to Locke, who sent Gray from 2 to 4. The present order is probably final: Stroke, Evans (capt.); 7, Brainerd; 6, Burton; 5, Ivins; 4, Gray; 3, DuBois; 2, Locke; bow, Blake; cox., Goodwin...
