...practice yesterday, though somewhat hindered by the rain, was rather encorging. The men were wide awake and put plenty of life into their playing, particularly Chandler, who has improved greatly and appeared yesterday to be the best man in the infield. The errors made were probably due to the wet ball. The batting was good; the hits were few and hard.

The batting on both teams was very weak and the baserunning slow. For the Freshmen, Edmunds and Farrington played the best; and for Worcester, Barker and Hersey. In the second inning, on a hit by Barker, Foster threw to Farrington, who made a double play at first, retiring...
