...Crown, caught in fine form and did not have a passed ball. Choate had to face an eratic delivery, and although his throwing to bases was poorer he played a better game than he usually does and deserves great credit.

Between them Choate and Mumford did not get a man out at second although they had six opportunities to do so. Bingham pitched a fair game, but allowed...

...defeating their opponents. I suppose it is natural for a nine to be condemned because it has suffered reverses; it is an almost universal, though most unfair, custom. But I see no reason why any particular man should be blamed because he failed to bring victory from almost sure defeat. The freshmen played their best, but were out fielded and out-batted. But inasmuch as they did their best to win from Yale, they should receive the credit therefor and not be "jumped upon" for not doing more than was in their power...
