...base, making sixteen put-outs and catching a very difficult ball in right field. Castle pitched fairly well, allowing four hits and two bases on balls, but he fielded his position poorly and was ineffective in watching bases. The Exeter team as a whole was weak, but was remarkably fast in base-running. For Exeter, Flock in left field played a particularly good game both in batting and fielding...
...match for the interclass championship will be played at 3 o'clock this afternoon between W. P. Blagden '04 and J. I. B. Larned '05. Blagden should win the match, but as the two men play in an entirely different manner, the result is uncertain. Blagden plays a hard, fast game, while Larned playes a slow, but very steady, game...
Andover was defeated by the Second nine yesterday in a fast 10-inning game at Andover by the score of 5 to 4.

The batting of the team showed little improvement in number of hits, but the seven hits made were skilfully bunched and resulted in five runs. The fielding of the Second nine was good, but marred by several costly errors. Improvement was also shown in base...
...match between the winners of the Sophomore and Freshman tournaments, J. I. B. Larned '05 defeated R. N. Smither '06, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. In this match both men played a very cautious game and seldom made very fast strokes. Smither played the more aggressive game, but could not overcome Larned's remarkable steadiness...
...more than ordinary ability, six of them resulting in eight of the nine runs, the batting cannot yet be called satisfactory, for in three innings, with two out and a man on third base, the batter failed to advance the runner. Bunting, too, was deplorably weak. The fielding was fast, with the exception of two inexcusable fumbles of grounders by Carr, and the muff of an easy outfield fly by H. Kernan. Coburn showed great unsteadiness in his pitching, letting up noticeably after the first inning and giving six bases on balls. Stillman, who replaced him in the last three...
