Currier, running for McCall in the first inning, crossed the plate on Simons's sacrifice hit to right field, after the pitcher had thrown wild to second. The two runs in the third were the result of an error by Grattan, a hit by Dana, Currier's hit to the pitcher, and Pounds's two-bagger. Harvard's last run came in the fifth when Dana made a scratch two-base hit, and the catcher threw wild trying to catch him stealing third...
None of Exeter's runs were earned. The first came largely as a result of a wild pitch, and the second when Currier threw to Simons with a man on third, and the latter threw wild to the plate. In the last inning it looked as if the score might be tied, when a base on balls and two singles brought in one run, but Walsh struck out and ended the game. The Exeter team with the exception of Grattan put up a very good game of ball...

Briggs followed with a good sacrifice hit, and Harvey who was running for McCall moved to third. Lanigan's safe drive to left brought Harvey across the plate. An error by short stop on Simons' grounder put Lanigan on third, but Simons was caught stealing second. Harvey met the occasion by hitting to right for two bases, scoring Lanigan, but getting out himself on trying to stretch the hit to three bases...

The battle are fast becoming accustomed to the curves and to an increase of speed; and, although they still have a tendency to draw away from the plate, due partly to the poor light of the Cage and also to the inaccuracy with which the balls break over the plate, they are really batting very well for this time of year. Though none of the catchers show great proficiency at present, they are able to hold the curved balls...
...University Library has lately received from the estate of D. H. Storer M.D. '25, through Miss H. M. Storer, a collection of 245 copper coins. Among the rarities in this collection are a fine specimen of Swedish plate money and a "Granby copper." The Granby coppers were struck by an ingenious blacksmith in Granby, Conn., in 1737, and, being made of unalloyed copper, quickly became worn, and are therefore now of the greatest rarity...
