...Yale freshmen made fewer errors than Harvard, but the hitting was weaker. Jones pitched a steady game up to the tenth inning when he gave two men bases on balls. His infield support, however, in that inning was not good, the second baseman making two costly errors...
...when Harvard needed runs the most. Unless the nine makes a vast improvement in this particular there is not the slightest chance for victory at New Haven on June 1. The coaching also was very poor. In the field the work was better though by no means steady. The infield men were inclined to interfere with each other, and the backing-up was not so strong as it should have been. The team as a whole, however, deserves praise for its work which was cool at critical points. The nine was unfortunate at the first in losing the regular catcher...
...away, but McKean '90, who covered first base in his stead, played a very creditable game both at the bat and in the field. The home team played remarkably well in the field. The out fielders were slow in fielding the ball in, but the work of the infield was good. Much of the credit of winning the game belongs to Downer, who struck out fourteen men. At times he seemed to lose partial control of the ball, but he was finely supported by Henshaw throughout the whole game. The batting of the team was weak. After the first inning...
...Wilkesbarre obtained three runs and won the game. The game was by far the best which has been played here this year. Harvard played a good up hill game after the second inning, and the tying of the score was due to steady, cool playing. The work of the infield was good with the exception of the short stop who played a rather listless game. The base running was poor, for the simple reason that the base runners did not pay close attention to the coaching Wilkesbarre got a run in the first on a hit, Cumming's fumble...
...score now stood, Harvard, six; Princeton, two. The fifth was Princeton's brilliant inning. Harvard's men went out in order owing to good work of the Princeton infield. Willard was put out, however, by Durell who caught a long and difficult fly remarkably well. Princeton started the fifth with hits by Watts and Durell. Payne was out-Mumford to Willard. Dana knocked a long fly away over the head of Linn, who made a beautiful catch after a long run backwards; but Watts scored. Howland's failure to throw out Knickerbocker immediately afterwards, allowed Durell to score Princeton...
