Freshmen Win from Yale.

The Freshmen won the baseball series with the Yale freshmen by defeating them on the University diamond Saturday afternoon. Harvard scored eight runs by batting and by taking advantage of Yale's errors. Clarkson pitched remarkably well, striking out nineteen men, and with good support would have shut Yale out. The fielding on both sides was slow and uncertain, allowing several men to be credited with hits who should have been retired. The Yale infield was much superior to Harvard's, but the outfielders were slow in returning hits and did not cover much ground. Next to Clarkson, Story did the best work for Harvard. He did not have many chances in the field, but he batted well, and ran bases with good judgment. Clark went into the game with an injured hand, so that he was unable to throw well to second, and allowed five passed balls. For Yale Thompson played well at short, making his only error on a hard chance.

Harvard scored three runs in the third inning on Story's hit, McKnight's error, and Clarkson's home run. Story's home run in the fifth added one more. In the sixth inning, Thompson's error, Lovering's three-base hit, a base on balls, and singles by Jackson, Story and Baldwin netted four runs. Wescott took Alsop's place in the next inning, and allowed but one hit. A base on balls, errors by Baldwin and Dever, and Tobin's single gave Yale two runs in the fourth. Yale's last two runs were made in the seventh inning on three singles, two of which were scratches, and on Jackson's error.
