...eighth inning Linn made a hit and scored on Howland's hit to right who fumbled, allowing the latter to reach third base. Howland came in on Willard's hit. Willard was caught at third by Hawley's grounder. Henshaw got first on balls, followed by Hawley on Willard's put-out, and Corning on Updegrove's fumble. All three scored on Downer's fine hit to centre for two bases. Downer made the last run on Linn...
...Owing to a threatened storm the audience was comparatively small. The college men turned out in large numbers and under an efficient leader cheered well, doing much toward winning the game. The effect of the enthusiasm was plainly shown by the way in which the nine worked during the eighth inning. Harvard won the game more by a streak of good luck than anything else. The two errors made by Princeton in the seventh cost them the game. Harvard's batting was very poor. Only 3 for 4 does not appear well when placed beside 6 for 8. Dean...
...foul. Harvard was blanked in every inning after this. In the seventh the bases were full with two men out, but Corning hit weakly and no one scored.

After this neither side scored although Henshaw was left on base in the last inning. The score...

The race was started at 3.15 in a pouring rain, Greenleaf started with a lead a few feet, which he kept until the eighth lap, when Clark forged ahead winning by about 80 feet in 6 minutes, 48 2-5 seconds...
...Wrenn played a beautiful game at second base with the exception of his inexcusable muffs of thrown balls. Carpenter played faultlessly at first, and Cummin made good catches in left field. Brown's work at third base was hardly creditable. The freshmen had a good lead up to the eighth inning when by poor work they allowed Fall River to tie the score. It seems to be characteristic of this year's freshman team so long as it is ahead to play a careless game. With the score tied, the nine has had good luck in winning extra inning games...
