...grounds at Watertown. Except for a strong wind, the weather was perfect for shooting, and even without the wind it is extremely doubtful if the scores would have been much better. Both teams shot well, the Harvard team better than ever before. At the start, Harvard took the lead, and kept increasing it at every round. In the fourth round, the Yale team did very good work, but it was of no avail and Harvard finished winner by twenty three birds. The teams were composed of five men each, each man shooting at thirty birds in rounds of five...
...defeat in the championship games at New Haven on Saturday. The result was a disappointment to the college, but there were many points in the playing of the nine which calls forth commendation, and the team should not be too severely criticized for its work. Yale obtained a tremendous lead in the first inning but the Harvard team played pluckily an up hill game and kept up heart till the last. Harvards's errors were very costly. Twice wild throws let in three unearned runs. These unexcusable errors, however, were confined to one or two men on the team...
...times, very loose. Wrenn played a beautiful game at second base with the exception of his inexcusable muffs of thrown balls. Carpenter played faultlessly at first, and Cummin made good catches in left field. Brown's work at third base was hardly creditable.

It seems to be characteristic of this year's freshman team so long as it is ahead to play a careless game. With the score tied, the nine has had good luck in winning...
...college will await the result; the game is, in a way, the turning point in the championship race. It Harvard loses, her chances for final success will be very materially lessened, although not destroyed. If, on the other hand, a victory is obtained, Harvard will be in the lead for the pennant. We feel that the hopes for fulfilling the latter condition are by no means inconsiderable. In the first part of the spring there seemed little in the playing of the team to justify the college in a feeling of confidence for a successful season. Immediately after the first...
...singles, Brown's error, a steal, and a sacrifice. In the first half of the ninth Evans tied the score for Harvard, reaching first base on balls, second on a steal, and home on a passed ball. In the last half of the ninth Preston for Yale lead off with a hit. Evans threw wild for the double play made possible by his catch of a fly, and Preston reached second; he stole third, but was left there, the next two men striking out. Hawley's work in this inning was superb and Bell supported him well. In the tenth...
