Turner, the Andover pitcher, has great speed and has proved very effective during the past season. Rustin, Hinkey and Murphy all are first class men. When the nines are so evenly matched it is hard to predict the winner. Exeter has been slightly the favorite until lately when Andover has come up greatly. The two nines will be made up as follows: Exeter-Phelan, l. f.; Lighthall, 1b; Ewing, c. f.; Kent, 3b.; Bissell. c.; Brown, s. s.; Chamberlin, r. f.; Burleigh, 2b.; Howe, p. Andover-Rustin, s. s.; Sheffield, 3b.; Jennings, 2b.; Hinkey, r. f.; Murphy, c.; Crawford...
...last lap, fell, partly through a foul and partly through his own fault, but the referee allowed him the ride in the final heat. This event was a decided farce. For two laps the men loafed.

Bates watched the base like a cat, and whenever Cobb had a chance the ball went down to second with great speed and accuracy. But the prettiest part of the game was Hovey's playing at second. In the sixth he made a wonderful throw to the plate, and cut off the one man who had a chance of scoring after the first inning. In the ninth Cotter got his base on balls...
...class championship yesterday afternoon on Jarvis Field, and the former had little difficulty in winning. Minton was taken out at the end of the second inning and Dickin son pitched the rest of the game. Although ten hits were made off him, he was steady and showed considerable speed, and satisfied the onlookers that he was the best pitcher that had as yet represented the freshman team. Corbett backed him up well and the team played a good uphill game, but were handicapped by the heavy batting of the senior team...
