...with great difficulty that Harvard succeeded in defeating Williams last Saturday by the close score of 5 to 4. Williams has a very strong nine this year and Harvard appeared weak at the bat. This is not surprising considering the quality of the nines that have played against Harvard so far this year, but the batting must improve in order to win against Yale and Princeton. Gallivanled at the bat for Harvard and Henshaw caught without an error. The battery work of Williams was especially fine, Clark showing only one passed ball. Hotckiss carried off the batting honors. The treatment...
...first game of the season on Holmes Field was played yesterday and resulted in an overwhelming victory for the home team. The game was the greatest farce ever seen on Holmes. The visitors were lamentably weak both in the field and at the bat. Of their four hits, two were direct gifts by the Harvard pitcher. They could hit neither swift nor slow balls. Such opponents as these do far more injury than good to the nine. A much better team could have been chosen from our own men than that which represented Bowdoin yesterday. It is conducive to careless...
...Correspondence," an undergraduate has presented a side of the baseball question not often taken by Harvard students. On the whole, the statement is fair, but some of the arguments for the writer's side of the case he has failed to bring forward, thus making his plea unnecessarily weak. Though the majority of us at Harvard do not agree with the writer, it is well for both parties to see this side presented...
Harvard met and defeated the Trinity College nine on Jarvis last Saturday. The game was marked by no brilliant plays on either side. There was a high wind blowing and the cold, disagreeable weather precluded the possibility of good ball playing. The battery of the visitors was weak. The catcher was unable to throw to second base, which accounts for the large number of stolen bases. Trinity presented an inexperienced man as third, who was not a success. The playing of Wright and Cheritree was, considering the weather, good. The visitors scored their two runs in the sixthinning...
Marlboro presented a weak team against Harvard yesterday afternoon, and the result was a defeat by the score of sixteen to two. For the last two years, Marlboro has defeated us, but the team has been greatly weakened by the loss of several good men. Only five innings were played yesterday, as the visitors left early in order to catch a train. The game was remarkable for the number of errors made by the visitors, who evidently were not in practice. No less than ten Harvard men got first on errors. Harvard failed to score only in the second inning...
