As the base ball season for the college championship did not close until after Commencement, it was impossible to publish the averages of the several players and clubs during the last term so they are given now. From them we see that Harvard led in fielding, closely followed by Amherst, while at the bat Harvard was second to Yale. Of the individual Harvard players, Coolidge led at the bat, and all are well up in the list The best fielding for any nine was done by Hall, the first baseman, at Dartmouth; while Stewart, first baseman of Yale, and Smith of Harvard, came next in order. The best showing, however, was made by Allen, the catcher of our nine, who filled his difficult position so well, that he was sixth in the fielding rank, being only surpassed by four first basemen and Baker, short-stop for Harvard. In the following table the men are placed according to their batting rank:
