...game with Dartmouth on Saturday Harvard showed decided improvement in her play. It was almost an errorless game, but the batting was very weak. Shurtleff pitched for Dartmouth and allowed but five hits to be made, though at critical points in the game he was unsteady. Dartmouth's six errors were evenly decided between Griffin and Brown and proved costly ones. It was in the sixth inning that Harvard made most of her runs. She was fortunate in bunching her hits, and aided by errors on Dartmouth's part she scored three times. Hovey went out to Tuxbury assisted...
...whole story of Saturday's Waterloo is told in Harvard's error column, and in the batting and fielding columns of Yale. Harvard had a magnificent nine against her, but that does not excuse the way in which she simply did not play ball. The Yale freshman team taught not only the Ninety-five nine, but taught all of us something about the game of base ball.

Harvard scored again in the fifth on a hit by Mason, and an error by Brown at short.

Princeton followed suit in the fifth. For Harvard, Hallowell sent a tremendous liner by Young. Frothingham advanced him to base by a pretty sacrifice. Hovey got a first on an error by King at second, and stole second. Both Hallowell and Hovey scored on a wild pitch by Young, who became so disconcerted that he gave Dickinson his base on balls. Young went to pieces and made a very wild throw, letting Dickinson to third. He was cleverly thrown out at the plate, on Corbetts hit, by King. Corbett was thrown out at second, according to the umpire although held...
