Close following the news of Harvard's defeat in lacrosse, cricket and baseball, comes the news even more unexpected, of her failure to win the Mott Haven cup. The result of the games is of course unfortunate and calls for the sincere regret of every Harvard man; and yet it is not to be utterly deplored...
...annual intercollegiate game were held at the Berkely Oval, New York, Saturday afternoon. Harvard failed to win first place but her representatives showed up well. Although only winning two first prizes, Harvard had a large number of exceedingly close seconds. In the bicycle race to be contested today, Harvard may win first place. Davis won the race easily, but the referee's decision gives Clark a chance for first place. The 440-yards race between Dohm and Downes was very close and Dohm won by only one fifth of a second. In the mile walk McIlvaine forged ahead...

With two men out, Cummin got his base on balls, Wrenn a base on Wales' error, and both were advanced a base on the base on balls given to Neff...
...game showed that unless a decided improvement is made we have not a chance of winning at New Haven. The base running yesterday was execrable, and must be bettered in the ten days yet to come. If it is a possible thing, '92 must win the game at New Haven, but the chances will be all against it, a strange field, an unfavorable crowd and a stronger team on Yale's part than she had yesterday...
