...Cambridge. Yale gave away the game in the first two innings by an inconceivable bunching of errors. After the second inning, Yale settled down to work and played a splendid game, both in the field and at the bat. Havard's lead was, however, too great to be overcome. Stagg pitched a magnificent game, striking out twelve of his opponents and keeping them down to five scattering hits. Bates also pitched well, although his wildness in the fifth gave Yale two runs. He was splendidly supported by the Harvard nine, all the infield doing good work. Boyden and Howland each...
Willard opened the second inning by a grounder to Noyes, which was fumbled. Bates struck out. Knowlton advanced Willard a base on a line hit to right field.
