...game opened with the visitors in the field. Thayer showed excellent judgment in waiting for good balls, but failing to get them he took first on called balls. He successfully stole second and went to third on Carter's wild throw. His dives into second and third were marvellous and amusing. Tyng then commenced his series of hard hits by a beauty to the left, on which Thayer scored. Ernst hit safe to right, and Tyng scored. Two runs to begin with, which were loudly cheered. To Yale the first three innings yielded no returns, no man reaching first base...
...sixth Leeds struck out, but Wright and Latham got their bases on good hits, and scored on bad errors by Clark. Sawyer got first on Clark's error; Thayer hit a hard one to Brown, who muffed it. Bigelow's bad error then gave Sawyer his run, making the third in this inning, which showed much demoralization on the part of Yale. Downer in this inning hit a safe one to left, got second on Tyng's poor throw, but was caught while too ambitiously trying to steal third. Carter got first on a pardonable error of Thayer...
...good base hit over second was of no avail, as he was soon left. Ernst began the ninth inning by a safe hit over second, but was forced out by Leeds's poor hit to Clark.

...second inning resulted in a quick blank for Yale. Thayer gets his base on Wheaton's error and steals second. Ernst flies out to Brown. Thayer is thrown out by short stop to third, and Latham goes out at second in a vain attempt to steal. Brown begins the third inning with a safe hit, but is soon put out at second by a nice bound catch of Sawyer's from Tyng's low throw. Wheaton sends Dow a fly, and Morgan goes out on Thayer's pretty throw to first. Wright, Dow, and Sawyer put out at first...
