...nine as a whole showed a considerable slump in the game with Brown Freshmen, and added stupid base running to their weak batting...
...score of 1 to 0 yesterday afternoon at Exeter. The batting of the Freshmen was very weak, only three hits being made. In the second and eighth inning the Freshmen had men on bases and good chances to score but failed to do so because of their stupid base running. Mitchell, Maguire and Thomas were especially poor in this respect and were largely responsible for the loss of the game. Tuckerman pitched a good game. He allowed only seven scattered hits and one base on balls, and showed steadiness and good control in critical times...

Stewart in centre covered a great deal of territory, accepting four difficult chances, and also...
...well in the field, except for Story's wild throw and Coolidge's failure to field a ground ball; but the showing at the bat was not satisfactory. Most of the men were unable to hit reliably with men on bases, and the base running was slow and stupid. Reid and Frantz, however, showed good judgment in this respect. Reid, Stillman and Frantz hit hard and well, and were responsible for three of the runs...
