Yesterday afternoon the Yale freshmen won the first game of the series with the Harvard freshmen by extremely hard batting, aided by the very wild pitching of the Harvard pitcher. The beginning of the game was delayed by the failure of the umpire, Mr. Pearce, to put in an appearance, and in his absence, Mr. Wiestling, '87, filled the position most acceptably to both nines. The game was not a creditable exhibition of ball playing, by either nine, but the Harvard freshmen succeeded in bunching the greatest number of errors, and the Yale freshmen the greater number of hits...
...score 13 to 12 in favor of '89. The last half of the last inning opened with Slade getting his base on a missed third strike. Kielty fouled out.

Both Vila and Trafford gave good exhibitions of ball playing at first base...

S., and H. H. Bemis, '87, proved to be the closest race of the day. Bemis led at the beginning of the last quarter, but was passed by Wright after...

Cogswell, '88, and F. B. Dana, '88, were the only starters in the half-mile run. Cogswell took the lead and lead to the end. He ran in remarkable form, and came within 1-5 of a second of the record for the distance, his time being 2 minutes 25 seconds...
