McCall played a steady game at second after his lay-off, accepting seven chances without a misplay. Harding livened the team up on first considerably, and, though he let a grounder get through him in the first inning, he made some clever pick-ups of low throws, and by a splendid one-hand catch in the ninth prevented Simons's high throw from being an error. At the bat he showed good form, securing a timely single, and a neat sacrifice. Leonard played a finished game on third, getting everything within reach, and in the eighth started a fast double...
...practice baseball game between the two teams of the University squad yesterday afternoon resulted in a victory for Team A by the score of 3 to 0. For the first real game the fielding was remarkably good, although the batting was rather deficient. With the exception of a misplay by Pond and Kemble in the seventh inning, which looked much like an error, both teams played errorless ball. Only nine hits were secured by both teams, but four of these were good for extra bases. Hartford and Brennan started the game as the opposing pitchers, but were soon replaced...

Andover failed to score in its half of the ninth, but the University nine, taking advantage of Andover's only costly misplay, won the game by a run in the tenth. With one out, Brennan hit to Merritt but the throw to Shannon was low and the ball bounced off the first baseman's leg to right field, Brennan going to second. Leonard's grounder to Shannon advanced him to third, and he scored...

...however, are not so apt to fumble as they were and their condition is gradually becoming better. Bates scored on Harvard in the game a year ago on account of a fumble, but with the lesson which the University team learned last Wednesday a repetition of this misplay is hardly likely to occur. As the Bates team is weaker than usual, a large score should be made. The length of the halves today will be fifteen minutes each. The two teams will line up as follows: HARVARD. BATES. Jones, l.e. r.e., Libby, Connors. Wright, l.t. r.t., Andrews, Phillips. A. Marshall...
