...comparatively small score was due to the absolute inability of the Harvard team to hit at critical times, to three inexcusable errors by the infield, and to some stupid base running at the beginning of the game. The team made nine hits, thus improving over its work against Holy Cross on Saturday. On the other hand, seven men struck out and five men were left on bases, two at third and one at second. Castle played a good game, both in the box and at the bat, allowing but three hits and one base on balls and making...
Since the Princeton game, the University nine has overcome many of its most glaring defects. The base-running, so slow and stupid in Saturday's game, has received special attention this week, and is now much more intelligent. Although unreliable, the batting has lately shown some improvement, especially at critical times. A tendency to hit too hard, and strike at bad balls has been in evidence. But with persistent coaching, these faults are being gradually overcome. R. Kernan is doing good work behind the bat, having shown marked improvement both in catching pitched balls and foul flies...
...improvement in all departments over the form displayed in the Princeton game. Although a tendency to hit at bad balls was noticeable, the batting was more reliable than usual, eleven hits being made against Spring, who was, however, of no more than average ability. The base-running, although somewhat stupid, was much more intelligent than in last Saturday's game, while the nervousness which was so characteristic of the fielding then, seemed entirely absent. Three errors were made, but the general play was characterized by speed and precision. Coburn pitched creditably and showed marked improvement both in speed and control...
...running. The fielding has often been sharp and fast, but shows too many lapses to be called reliable. The batting throughout the season has been weak, though in the last three games some improvement has been evident. The base-running has been at times brilliant, at other times very stupid, and in general erratic. Coburn and Stillman have been pitching with fair effectiveness, and Clarkson's work has, as usual, been very strong, though he has hardly reached as yet his highest point of development...
...made the game uninteresting. The team showed up well in batting, making fourteen hits and but two men striking out. The one bunt attempted was successful. The base running was at times brilliant, the double steal with runners on first and third being worked successfully; and again it was stupid when men were caught off first and second bases. In the field the team made four errors, two of which were wild throws. Cornell was weak at the bat, the one score being made by a home...
