...game was very close throughout, though Ninety-one had the lead for seven innings. McPherson and Wood were both very effective and the batting very light. The men on both nines played well though several showed the lack of practice. The features of the game were the difficult running catches of Wood and Crosby. The batting was weak and the base running sometimes careless. Very fine playing was made difficult by the cold wind, nevertheless the game as a whole was above the average of class games. Appended is the score...
...championship games begin on May 18, against Princeton at Cambridge, and then come those against Lehigh, May 25, at Bethlehem, Pa., and Stevens, May 30, at Cambridge. It has been extremely difficult to arrange practice games because so many of the loca clubs have disbanded, but probably a match will be arranged with Waltham for May 4.

If it is the object of the faculty to keep them in Cambridge as long as possible it is difficult to understand their motives. Men who come here from a great distance, do not go home at all during the year and are naturally anxious to leave as soon as possible. Any unnecessal delay is unjust to them. It is particularly irksome to be kept by a course so unimportant...
...club. In this game Harvard played in very poor form and with an evident want of team work. Had Hawley received the proper support, Philadelphia would have only scored three runs in this game. The redeeming feature of Harvard's work was the fielding of Mumford, who accepted seven difficult chances in centre field without an error. Linn's fielding and batting were also good. Harvard's only run was secured in the eighth inning on a clean base hit by Linn and errors of the league players. The score is as follows...
