HARVARD, 13; EXETER, 2.

Team Plays Badly.--Hitting Not Timely and Base Running Stupid.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University nine defeated Exeter yesterday in a slow six-inning game by a score of 13 to 2. Although the batting showed some improvement, the twelve hits made were due mostly to the inefficiency of the Exeter pitcher and the runs to Exeter's errors and weak fielding. Harvard lost at least six runs through poor base-running, in which Daly and Carr were especially poor.

Stillman pitched a steady game up to the sixth inning, allowing one hit and one base on balls. In the last inning, however, he let up and Exeter made three singles and one two-base hit, thus scoring two runs. Stillman's work at the bat was discouraging; he struck out twice when runs were most needed, once with the bases full and again with men on second and third. Daly at shortstop made the only error for Harvard. Randall was slow in covering his base and did not handle ground balls properly. Kernan allowed Exeter one stolen base and was weak in his batting.

Coolidge opened the game with a base on balls, reached second on Wendell's sacrifice, stole third and scored on Clarkson's fly to left field. In the second inning Daly was hit, Coolidge got to first on an error and both scored on Clarkson's three-base hit; then a single by Devens and a two-base hit by Randall sent in two more runs. In the fourth, errors by Leigh, Libby and Spencer, base hits by Randall, Coolidge and Stillman and a two-base hit by Kernan netted six more runs. The last two runs were made in the fifth inning on a base on balls, Carr's two base hit and a single by Daly.
