...first by about a foot. This play prevented one and possibly two runs. Frantz's poor throw in the eighth inning was excusable, as it was made after a difficult one-handed stop which threw him off his balance. Reid was somewhat unsteady behind the bat and his wild throw to second was the cause of Pennsylvania's first run. At the bat, he made a home run, one of the longest hits made on Soldiers Field this year. Devens, who has hitherto been weak at the bat, showed a great improvement, making a two-base hit and two singles...
...Chicago several times got men as far as third base and was kept from scoring oftener only by very steady fielding. Stillman struck out thirteen men and allowed only four hits, but he had poor control and gave six bases on balls. With the exception of Reid's two wild throws the fielding was steady and good. The team, however, did not have the speed and cleverness that was shown in the Cornell game. Chicago was very unsteady in the field, making five very costly errors, and by slow throwing allowed Harvard to steal ten bases...
Captain Reid was unsuccessful at the bat and in the field made two wild throws, one of which resulted in a run. His speed and watchfulness, however, kept the Chicago runners very close to the bases.

...score. Harvard's first score was the three runs made in the third inning. Clarkson made a scratch infield single, stole second and went to third on Wendell's hit. Clark hit to right field, bringing in the two runners, and scored on Hoover's error and a wild pitch. In the fourth inning with one out, Fincke singled. Clarkson forced him out and then stole second. He went to third on a passed ball and scored on Van Patten's wild throw to first to catch Wendell. Clark singled, and Wendell went to third, but Reid...
Brown's run came in the eighth inning. Barry singled to right, went to second on Devens's poor throw to first, and scored on Stillman's wild throw to catch Gray...
