...base-ball, a high wind prevailing which blew directly in the face of the batsmen. Owing to afternoon recitations at Princeton, game was called at 12 o'clock, with Harvard at the bat. The game opened well for an exciting contest, as neither side scored in the first inning, notwithstanding Furman's base-hit. In the second inning, after two men were out, a fumble of Hunt's, errors by Funkhouser and Furman, and base-hits by Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left on second, the succeeding batsmen striking out. Wright...
HEAVY batting and excellent fielding marked the playing of both nines. Nunn captured a very difficult fly and made some excellent stops. Fessenden caught a hot liner in left field. In the third inning Holden struck out; Wright hit for a base, and gained his second through the inequality of the ground where the ball struck; Howe followed with a three-base hit, the ball reaching the fence behind centre field; Nunn flied to pitcher; Sawyer made a base hit, bringing in Howe; Thayer followed with a safe hit, but Tyng closed the inning by striking out.

Later a passed ball gave him his run, which proved the first and last of Yale's accomplishments. In the sixth Leeds struck out, but Wright and Latham got their bases on good hits, and scored on bad errors by Clark. Sawyer...
...Latham, aided by his superb running and Brown's poor throw, scored another run. Tyng then swung the black walnut for another safe hit and brought in Thayer. Downer's good base hit over second was of no avail, as he was soon left. Ernst began the ninth inning by a safe hit over second, but was forced out by Leeds's poor hit to Clark. Errors by Downer and Williams gave Latham first and second and Leeds third. Wright's force hit brought in the latter, and our score thereby reached the satisfactorily round number of ten. Yale retired...
