...second nine has now had about a week's practice under the coaching of Dr. Nichols, and is now in fairly good shape, except in batting, which so far has received little attention. The infield is very fast, but it is inclined to be erratic. The outfield is not yet covering enough ground...
...baseball team has played three games, defeating Holy Cross by 4 to 3 Amherst by 15 to 6 and Wesleyan by 2 to 0. Yale's batting was weak in all three games, and the fielding indifferent, except in the Wesleyan game, which Yale played without an error. The infield does not play well together, and has trouble in handling pop flies and bunt hits. Sharpe at first is steadily improving, and Quinby makes few misplays at second, but does not cover enough ground. Camp and Brown, at short and third, play brilliantly though somewhat erratically. The outfield has shown...
...fielding on both sides was remarkably sharp and accurate for a cold, raw day. The Harvard infield showed improvement in team work, and Clark and Coolidge each made several very pretty assists. The batting was very weak, but the men showed good judgement in waiting. The base-running showed good judgment but lacked the life and alertness which should characterize it. Kernan pitched well, keeping Dartmouth's hits well scattered, and showed great coolness in the fifth inning, when Dartmouth had the bases full with only...
Dartmouth has the same infield as last year except at first base, where Hancock, who pitched last year, is playing. Varney held Harvard down to four hits in the second game last year. Brown and the outfielders are new this year. Last year Harvard broke even with Dartmouth, losing the first game 7 to 5, and winning the second, 5 to 0. Harvard. Dartmouth.

...showed improvement over yesterday's game, in their fielding, but their batting was deplorably weak. Clarkson pitched an excellent game, striking out 17 men, and giving Dean only two base hits. He also led the team in batting, making three base-hits out of four times at bat. The infield showed a good amount of snap and life playing their positions without an error. Bartlett at catch, made two costly errors and his throws to second were all very wild. Lancy, who was tried at first-base, in place of Foster, fielded his position satisfactorily but was weak in batting...
