...chief fault in their play, or at any rate, one more easily corrected, was the wretched base running. Our men know how to steal bases better than most college nines, but this knowledge should not make them foolhardy, as it certainly seems to do. In the first inning Trafford got out at second on a daring attempt to steal when only one man was out. In the sixth inning, again, with no one out Hallowell made a good steal of second, and, not content with this, tried to make third at the same time, and was thrown...
...would have guessed that these were the only runs we were destined to make during the game. Soule took his base on balls and stole second. Hallowell hit cleanly to centre and Soule took third. Hallowell stole second. Hovey sacrificed, bringing Soule in and advancing Hallowell to third. Trafford knocked a grounder to Parks, who fumbled it, and thus let Hallowell come home. In trying to steal second Trafford was thrown out, and Frothingham went out on a grounder to the infield...
Parks led off for Worcester in the second inning with a two-bagger to left field. Moore was hit by a pitched ball. It looked as if Worcester would score, but Lezott struck out, McGrath fouled out to Trafford, and Hayes went out on an infield grounder. Murphy, who had previously been umpiring, now amiably exchanged places with Sullivan, who had been pitching, and Harvard men went out in one, two, three order...

Bird took second on O'Brien's sacrifice, and scored on a passed ball and error by Trafford. Parks got his base on balls and Moore hit safely. Lezott sent a long fly to centre which looked safe, but Hallowell caught it prettily and the side was out. For Harvard, Bates reached third on a base on balls, a wild pitch and Soule's sacrifice. Hallowell also...
...plate. A wild throw by Cobb enabled Bird also to score. This ended the runs for the game. In the eighth, with one man out, O'Brien hit safely. Parks followed with a very hot liner to Hovey, who stopped it beautifully and with the aid of Soule and Trafford retired both O'Brien and Parks. This was decidedly the play of the game. Harvard had her last chance for another run in this inning. Hovey reached third on Parks' fumble of his grounder, Trafford's sacrifice, and Frothingham's base hit, but was thrown out at the plate...
