...Freshman nine lost to the Boston Latin School team yesterday in a carelessly played game, by the score of 12 to 11. The defeat was the natural result of the carelessness and lack of snap which has characterized the team's practice for some time. The infield played poorly, missing many easy chances. Neither Hutchinson nor Alexander, who replaced him in the fifth inning, pitched effectively, and they were especially weak when men were on bases. White, the Latin School pitcher, was steady and fairly effective. Parker supported the Freshman pitchers well, and caught six men attempting to steal second...
...baseball nine won the second game from Dartmouth on the University diamond Saturday afternoon by a score of 11 to 2. Both teams lacked life and snap, and the game was very slow and uninteresting.

The Dartmouth players, though at times they handled the ball with good speed and accuracy, were very unreliable, and generally...

...score of 4 to 1. In spite of the unfavorable weather the playing on both sides was fast. The Freshmen, however, were better at every point of the game, especially in offensive work and team play. The Sophomores had a weak defense and did not play with the snap that marked the work of the Freshmen. Bennett, Lincoln and Fisher for the Freshmen, and Binger and Penhallow for the Sophomores made brilliant individual plays...
