...rate, one more easily corrected, was the wretched base running. Our men know how to steal bases better than most college nines, but this knowledge should not make them foolhardy, as it certainly seems to do. In the first inning Trafford got out at second on a daring attempt to steal when only one man was out. In the sixth inning, again, with no one out Hallowell made a good steal of second, and, not content with this, tried to make third at the same time, and was thrown out. In the eighth Hovey was caught at the plate...

...however, did not give up the game. Upton got his base on balls. Wookcock hit Howe, who took first, forcing Upton to second. Dickinson sacrificed and Hallowell made a hit which brought in Upton and Howe, amid great enthusiasm.

The next ball came over the plate but he failed to hit it, and the game was over...
...first inning at a rapid pace. Long hit safely to right and came home on a passed ball, an error by Howe, and Sullivan's fine hit to centre. Brodie flied out. Stovey hit a grounder to the infield and got around to second on an attempt to retire Long at third. Sullivan's hit brought him home also. Quinn followed Sullivan with a long fly to right. Frothingham caught it prettily and made a fine throw to first, retiring Sullivan before he could get back. For Harvard Dean and Hallowell flied out, and Hovey went out on a grounder...
...third Long made the third run for Boston. He got his base on balls, stole second, took third on Howe's poor attempt to put him out at second and came home on Upton's attempt to retire Brodie there. Brodie also got first on balls, second on Howe's wild throw to retire Long and third on a second wild throw by Howe to Hovey. Stovey struck out, and Sullivan knocked a fly to centre. Hallowell gathered it in beautifully, and threw Brodie out at the plate. Harvard went out in one, two, three order...
