...uninteresting game. The Beacons put Nichols, the old Harvard pitcher, in the box, and he was batted freely by Harvard. He was very wild, giving seven men bases on balls. Smith, who played first base for Harvard several years ago, covered that bag for the Beacons. Harvard presented a weak nine. With four regular men on the sick list, she had some difficulty in collecting a worthy representative team. The batting on the Harvard nine was well distributed, every man but one getting a hit. The batting of the Beacons was confined to two men, Richardson batting hard every time...
...above record is not a one of which Harvard should be ashamed We have outplayed nearly every opponent we have met. The fielding of the nine leaves nothing to be desired but at the bat Harvard is wofully weak. Fielding alone will not win us the game here Saturday. Base hits must be made if Harvard expects to bring the championship to Cambridge this year...
...Bates also pitched well, although his wildness in the fifth gave Yale two runs. He was splendidly supported by the Harvard nine, all the infield doing good work. Boyden and Howland each cut off a man at the plate by magnificent throws. The batting of the nine was miserably weak and must be improved if Harvard expects to win the championship. McLean umpired acceptably with the exception of his decision refusing to call Stagg out on Howland's fine catch of the former's foul fly to right field...
Ninety-one showed a wonderful improvement over their play of Tuesday, and if they continue to play in such good form they may win the championship after all. Their throwing is still weak, and most men do not body-check well; but there was a noticeable improvement in this point. Every man played with a snap and vigor which is in striking contrast to the usual listless work of the team. Amory, Walcott and Everett did especially good work on the defence. Davis played home instead of defence as usual, and made the only goal of the game...
...nine won its fourth consecutive victory of the season yesterday afternoon against the nine of Adams Academy at Quincy, with a score of 10 runs to 3. Richardson and Fitzhugh composed the CRIMSON battery and proved very effective. The Adams Academy boys played a good fielding game but were weak at the bat. The CRIMSON nine received very hospitable treatment and felt repaid for the time spent on the trip...
