Groton scored six touchdowns, and St. Mark's was forced to make one safety. The feature of the game...

In the sixth inning McKeon hit safely to first, reached second on a wild throw by Clarkson to first, took third on a hit by McGeehan and came home on a bunt by Quigley. Harvard stood a good chance to score in the third inning. Milne drew a base on balls, took second on a hit by Coolidge after Matthews had flied out to right field, and stole third by making a neat slide. Coolidge then ran off first for a double steal, but by very...
