...errors of Hunt and Cutts, gave two runs. Wigton reached second on a failure of Tyng to put him out on three strikes. Dodge struck to Nunn, who made an excellent feint at throwing to first and then threw to Latham, who put Wigton out at second; this play was very fine, and deserved the loud applause which it received. Harvard made one more run in the eighth inning on base-hits by Nunn, Fessenden, and Ernst, and errors by Furman and Cutts. The Princeton Nine were unable to bat Ernst in this game, but five men reaching first base...
...Harvard 0. Princeton retired in order. Holden hit an easy fly to Furman, who muffed; two passed balls sent him to third; Wright struck out; Latham struck to pitcher, who caught Holden off his base and put him out on the home plate, Latham taking second during the play and scoring on Funkhouser's wild throw to cut him off at third; Nunn took his third on a wild throw to first by Funkhouser, who had missed his third strike; Alger then went to the bat amid great excitement, and hit a splendid ball to centre field, bringing in Nunn...
...Cruger with comparative ease. Had our pitcher been in the good condition in which we have seen him, their base-hit column would not have amounted to so much, we can safely say. For Yale, Lamb led at the bat and in the field, closely followed by Walden, whose play at second base was good. Thompson and Borie struck well, but the former did poorly at short. Ives, who is also catcher of the University Nine, hardly came up to the standard we had expected. The Yale Freshmen are a strong batting nine throughout...
...there must be more attention paid to batting; there is good material in the Nine, and if they practise more at the bat, they can be a strong batting as well as a strong fielding nine. They must by no means neglect fielding practice, for without constant work good play in the field is almost impossible. It might also be suggested that, if they should play nines which are stronger rather than weaker than themselves, the next game with Yale would turn out differently...
...Harvard Freshmen, Folsom's play at first was the best feature of the game. Coolidge at second, and W. A. Howe also did finely. In the seventh inning, with two on bases by clean hits, Cruger pitched so effectively that three men went out on strikes, neither of the base-runners securing a run. Elliott at short was fortunate in having so good a player on first, for his throws were not up to their usual standard...
