...University team is still far from a satisfactory stage of development in either fielding, batting or base-running. The fielding has often been sharp and fast, but shows too many lapses to be called reliable. The batting throughout the season has been weak, though in the last three games some improvement has been evident. The base-running has been at times brilliant, at other times very stupid, and in general erratic. Coburn and Stillman have been pitching with fair effectiveness, and Clarkson's work has, as usual, been very strong, though he has hardly reached as yet his highest point...
...practice yesterday comprised the usual batting and fielding work. The men were instructed in the same points of batting and bunting in which coach Wendell has been endeavoring to improve their work throughout the spring. Although not entirely satisfactory, the fielding practice showed considerable life, and was at times sharp and accurate...
...baseball team defeated Brown yesterday by a score of 5 to 0, in an excellently played game, but one that from the spectator's point of view was somewhat lacking in interest, because the sharp fielding and weak batting of both teams reduced the base-running and the scoring to a minimum. Both Lynch and Clarkson pitched with remarkable effectiveness, the latter allowing the Brown team but three hits, striking out nine men, and giving no bases on balls. This brilliant work in the box, furthermore was supported by perfect fielding on the part of the whole University team...
...University cricket team was defeated by the Everett cricket team yesterday afternoon, by the score of 55 runs to 33. The game was poorly played, owing to the unfavorable weather conditions. Thorp made 32 runs and won the game for Everett, when some sharp work in the field would have saved the game for Harvard...
...practice of the baseball squad for the past week has been somewhat ragged owing to the muddy condition of the field. The material, although still undeveloped, promises to furnish at least an average team. The fielding has been unusually clean and sharp for so early in the season, and the base running, which was very poor the first of the week, shows marked improvement. The batting so far has been lamentably weak especially in the games with Tufts and Fordham. The pitching is fair, but there is yet great room for improvement. The game with Manhattan Saturday was cancelled...
