Owing to the injury of Mr. Perry, Moody went to the catcher's position, Harrison to short stop, Wheeler to centre, and Lynn to right field. The absence of Perry was severely felt both in this and the succeeding game, as was shown by the utter demoralization of the nine, and their poor playing - simply from the need of an experienced captain...
...brilliant, but was as good as the recent misfortunes to both Nines would warrant us in expecting. It is unfair to criticise Perry as if he were an experienced catcher, and he deserves every praise for his steady play and evident determination to take all chances. Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser. Nevins, in the field, made a remarkable left-hand catch, and at the pitcher's position his throwing did great execution...
...game at Salem with the Alphas on Saturday, May 17. The first inning was close and well played, and resulted in a tie, each side scoring 45. The fielding of our Eleven was very sharp; the noticeable points being Spinney's wicket-keeping, Warner's play at long-stop, and Green's at point. The batting was fair. Sullivan was not out for 16, and Rives scored his nine by a succession of very brilliant hits. In the second inning, when the Alphas were seven out for 66, they hit their wickets, hoping to put out the Harvards before dark...
...their opponents were themselves served in like manner, though Annan secured his first base by a fine hit. The next two innings added nothing to the score; but in the fourth the line was broken, and each side scored one run, without, however, earning it. A fine one-hand stop and throw to first by White marked the fielding of the Harvards in this inning. The fifth inning was a "blinder" for both sides; and in the sixth, after the Bostons had been retired for two runs, the Harvards went in, and, by a little fumbling on the part...
...part. The other important character in the play is that of the self-sacrificing Camille, a part well suited to Miss Clarke, who certainly acted never better or looked more beautiful. Mr. Hardenbergh and Mr. McClannin were both acceptable in their respective parts. If Mr. Conway would stop shaking his leg and running his hand through those flowing locks, he would greatly relieve the Museum audiences...
