Amherst 3—Dartmouth 2
A ten inning pitcher's dual between Captain Ross and Zinck, of Amherst, was decided in favor of the Massachusetts man, June 4, when in the extra frame Elliott, of Amherst, got to first base on an error was advanced by Eames' sacrifice, and scored on Palmer's long triple. The tally thus gained was the third on the Amherst ledger and broke the tie that had existed since the eighth inning when Browne contributed the Green's second run. For six innings neither team was able to score, but in the seventh a base on balls, a hit, and two sacrifices netted two markers for the visitors, and Merritt scored for Dartmouth on a walk, a stolen base, and a wild throw.
Both pitchers allowed only five hits and neither was liberal with passes, Ross giving just one and Zinck three. Zinck's greater effectiveness is shown in the strike-out record which credited him with ten while Ross had only five.

Pennsylvania 8—Dartmouth 6
A seventh inning rally which netted five runs gave Pennsylvania an 8 to 6 victory in a feature contest on the Alumni Day program, June 11, at Philadelphia. By this victory Penn. won the three-game series with Dartmouth, having defeated the Green in Hanover at Prom time. Dartmouth won the second contest of the series, at Philadelphia shortly afterward.
The stick work of both teams was strong, Penn. gathering 11 hits and the Green batsmen accumulating a total of ten. Grundman was high gun for the Hanoverians with three hits and three runs in as many times at bat. For Penn. McNichol with two hits and two runs in four attempts was the star performer. Two base hits by Bower, Grundman, Maynard, Bruce, and Robertson constituted the bulk of the Green attack. Canady's double and a three-base hit by Myers were the extra distance clouts of the Philadelphians.

Dartmouth 9—Williams 5
Eleven errors marred the game which the Green team won from Williams, June 17, by a score of 9 to 5, after coming from behind in the fourth inning for a spurt that the Massachusetts team was unable to overcome. Pattern, of Williams, was given poor support in the field, while Captain Ross likewise suffered from four errors by his team mates. Williams scored twice in the first inning, but thereafter was held to single runs in the third and eighth frames. The Green's scoring began in the second chapter when Robertson tripled to deep left and scored on an error. Again, in the third, a Hanover run was marked up by Browne's double and Maynard's single through second base. Robertson hit safely again in the fourth session, Merritt reached first on an error, and Pattern filled the bases by walking Bower. Ross's grounder to center then scored two men, and Bower stole home. Kopf, Robertson, and Bower got a triple each during the afternoon, and Browne, the aforementioned double. For Williams a triple by Finn, and doubles by Richmond and O'Brien were registered. Ross struck out seven men and allowed two bases on balls and 10 hits. Pattern had three strike-outs and gave three passes and seven hits.

Dartmouth 9—Vermont 0
Tracy was pitching the well-known air-tight brand of ball at Burlington, June 18, and held the University of Vermont team in the hollow of his mit, allowing but one hit during the afternoon, while Robertson led the other members of the Green team in a 10-hit assault upon the delivery of two Vermont pitchers. Three hits and two runs in four times at bat constituted the brilliant example set by the big first sacker. Bruce, Bower, and Tracy emulated him in getting doubles, and Grundman poked out a three-base line drive. Newton, of Vermont, held his own for four innings, but the assault of the Hanoverians which produced nine runs in the next two chapters drove him to the dug-out.

Dartmouth 9—Vermont 4
A return game by Vermont, June 20, on Alumni Oval, closed the season for Coach Tesreau's team before a large crowd of alumni and Commencement guests. The Vermonters threatened in the second inning, but Browne's spectacular catch of a line drive just inside the foul line choked off the attack. Sullivan's triple produced two runs for the Burlington boys in the fourth inning, and in the sixth and ninth additions were made.
Browne started the game for Dartmouth with the first ball pitched, driving out a smart single that placed him in position to score when Maynard followed with another hit for two bases. In the second round five Green tallies went up, due in great part to a tremendous swat by Grundman which came close to breaking the Oval record, but which was fielded with sufficient skill to prevent his passing third base. Merritt relieved Captain Ross in the box early in the first inning, when Ross's arm showed signs of weakening, and the Green leader obligingly reciprocated the attention by taking the place Merritt had vacated.
