...cricket eleven played at Chelsea on Saturday and won their second game. The wicket was soft and bumpy, and prevented accurate bowling, while the long grass in the outfield made it difficult to get even two runs, except off boundary hits. Harvard went into the field first, and, as at Somerville, got a wicket on the first ball. They retired Chelsea for 45 runs, allowing only W. L. Martin, who played a careful game, to roll up double figures. For Harvard, Garrett batted best with 23 runs to his credit, while Sallivan and Parker hit well...

Brown and Garrett led off in Harvard's first innings. and made 25 runs in quick succession before the first wicket fell. After that the side was retired rapidly by the puzzling balls of Martin and Baily. The game was stopped by rain after Haverford had begun a second innings, in which they were being quickly disposed of. The chances seemed to be in favor of a considerable improvement in Harvard...
