...University baseball team will play Phillips Exeter Academy this afternoon at Exeter, N. H., in the fifth regular game of the season. As this is the first game since the Southern trip, a good chance is offered to get an idea of the strength of the team. Three of last year's team, which Harvard defeated by the score of 13 to 2, have returned to Exeter this year; and although the team has been playing listlessly, it has shown ability at the bat, and promises to be as strong as usual...
...University baseball squad returned to Cambridge yesterday morning from the southern trip which has occupied the April recess. During the week, three games were won, and one lost. A week ago Saturday, Georgetown was defeated by a score of 3 to 0; on the following Wednesday, Annapolis was beaten 15 to 3; on Thursday a team composed largely of substitutes, defeated the Annapolis second team by a score of 10 to 3; and on Saturday, West Point defeated the University team...
...whole, the trip was fairly successful. The men were enabled to get a week of good practice, and were aided in their work by perfect weather conditions. Only in a few cases was any improvement shown in fielding, which was, nevertheless, for the most part, fast and accurate. In batting, there were some cases of individual improvement, but as a whole, the team did not bunch their hits to advantage. The most evident and universal weakness, however was the bunting, which was at no time satisfactory. Poor base-running was another conspicuous fault in the work of the team...
...pitchers, Clarkson showed the best control, and was at all times effective. His batting, however, was weak, since he made but three hits out of fourteen times at bat. Stillman was in the box only six innings during the trip, when he showed fair control. At centrefield, he covered more ground than last year, but his hitting has fallen off considerably. Coburn had fair speed, but showed the poorest control of the three. This weakness together with the poor base-running, practically cost the West Point game. Behind the bat, R. P. Kernan caught very well, and showed vast improvement...
...Wednesday, April 22, the University team played the Naval Cadets at Annapolis, winning 15 to 3. This game was perhaps the most encouraging of the trip, since the Harvard team proved its ability to hit the ball. In this department, Coolidge and R. P. Kernan were especially strong, each meeting three hits, and the latter two home runs and a three-base hit. The fielding of the team, however, was not so clean as in the game with Georgetown, and the base-running was crude and lifeless. Coburn pitched a fairly steady game, striking out nine men, and allowing...
