...oftener only by very steady fielding. Stillman struck out thirteen men and allowed only four hits, but he had poor control and gave six bases on balls. With the exception of Reid's two wild throws the fielding was steady and good. The team, however, did not have the speed and cleverness that was shown in the Cornell game. Chicago was very unsteady in the field, making five very costly errors, and by slow throwing allowed Harvard to steal ten bases...
Captain Reid was unsuccessful at the bat and in the field made two wild throws, one of which resulted in a run. His speed and watchfulness, however, kept the Chicago runners very close to the bases. Frantz again made a home run, but at times he did too much swinging at bad balls. His slowness in fielding a ball to the plate gave Chicago her only run. Clark and Wendell did very well at the bat, making timely and well placed hits. Fincke, after only two day's practice, went in at second and played excellently. He made two difficult...
Clarkson was greatly affected by the cold, damp air, and it was only with the greatest effort that he attained his speed and control. He gave three bases, made a wild pitch, and allowed seven hits, two of which were for three bases. He was remarkably steady in the eighth and ninth innings, however. The playing of Frantz was the most valuable for Harvard. Aside from bringing in the winning runs, he made a throw to second in the eighth, which resulted in a double play. Reid did not hit as well as usual, but played his position well...
Harvard's work in the runs was especially good. Clark, in the mile, ran well within himself for the first three laps, and finished with a strong burst of speed. Knowles was a good fourth. Although Holland of Georgetown, won the quarter mile rather easily, the three Harvard men, Rust, Clerk, and Manson, obtained the other three places. In the two mile, Mills came in second after a fine sprint, and Swan finished fourth. Lightner was a close second to Duffy in the hundred yards dash, and also was fourth in the two-twenty. Converse and Willis ran second...
...touch, expecting it to roll outside the foul line. As usual, Clarkson struck out a large number of batters, and in the sixth inning, after giving two bases, with one out, he prevented Lafayette from scoring by striking out the next two men. For Lafayette, Prichard pitched with good speed, and except in the fifth and sixth innings, was very steady and reliable. He allowed Harvard only eight hits, but six of these were bunched in two innings...
