...with a fine base hit to left. Morgan was thrown out at first by Ernst. Bigelow then batted to Sawyer, but the ball, bounding from his hands, flew out into right, where it was again mishandled by Dow. These two bad errors gave Bigelow a life and Wheaton third and home. Williams was then fielded out at first by Thayer. For Harvard, Leeds struck out, and Tyng and Tower went out at first, after hits to second and third...

Woodhead, at third base, won deserved applause by his good stopping and swift short-arm throwing. Blogg caught some hard flies in centre field in a very easy and graceful manner...

Our Captain said that as no agreement had been made about that part of the field, his man was entitled to as many bases...
