BASE BALL.

In their game with Yale on Saturday Harvard disappointed a crowd of 3,500 people by making the worst exhibition of ball playing that we have ever seen from a university nine. The game opened at 3 P. M. with Yale at the bat. They soon retired in order, the last two men striking out. For Harvard, after Coolidge went out, Baker and Phillips made hits, LeMoyne flied out to Brigham, and Baker scored. Tilden made another hit sending Phillips to second. They went to second and third respectively on Booth's muff of Souther's throw, but Allen fouled out to Brigham, leaving the score 1 to 0 in Harvard's favor.

Second inning ; Souther took his base on balls, second and third on passed balls, but was caught out trying to reach home. Stewart took his base on Coolidge's muff of a pop fly, second on a passed ball, stole third and came in on a wild pitch. The next two men went out. Smith took first base on balls and second on Winslow's base hit. Nichols struck out, but before the next man came to the bat time had to be called for about a quarter of an hour, as the rain began to come down in torrents. Umbrellas went up by hundreds and the players ran to places of shelter while the miserable scorers who had no other protection, crawled under the table and sat in pools of water until at last the rain stopped and play was resumed.

Coolidge flied out to Brigham ; Baker made a base hit to centre field ; Bremner picked up the ball and threw it to Souther, catching Smith who was sauntering on as if he thought Baker had made a home run. Score, 1 to 1.

In the third inning both nines went out in order for although LeMoyne for Harvard made a base hit, he was caught in an attempt to steal second.

In the fourth inning Yale made four runs, almost wholly on the wild pitching of Nichols, only one hit being made. The Harvard men, in their turn, went out in order.

In the fifth inning, Nichols, who from lack of practice, caused by the injury to his wrist, seemed to have lost all control of the ball, went out to centre field and Winslow came in to pitch. For Yale, Bremner made a run on a base on balls, a steal, and Smith's fumble of Hopkins' hit. Then again, play was stopped for a time to wait for another shower to pass over. When it cleared up and the game was resumed, Nichols made a base hit, but was forced out at second by Coolidge. Coolidge stole second but the next two men struck out, leaving him there.

Sixth inning ; Yale went out in order. For Harvard, LeMoyne took his base on balls and stole second. Tilden flied out to Terry ; Allen went out, Oliver to Stewart giving LeMoyne third base. Smith flied out to Terry ; score 6 to 1.

Seventh inning. For Yale, Booth took his base on balls ; Brigham hit a liner to Phillips who caught it, and threw to first in time to catch Booth off his base, making a pretty double play. Bremner fouled out to LeMoyne. For Harvard, Winslow flied out to Brigham and Nichols struck out. Coolidge made a base hit but Baker flied out to Terry, leaving him on first base.

In the eighth, Terry scored a run for Yale on a base on balls, a wild throw by Coolidge, and a steal. For Harvard, Phillips fouled out to Souther, LeMoyne took first base on balls and second on Tilden's hit, but was forced out at third by Allen's hit to Hopkins. Tilden, who had stolen second by this play, went to third on Smith's base hit, Allen going to second. Winslow came to the bat and hit a hot ball to Brigham, who caught it, finishing the inning and leaving three men on bases.

In the ninth, Brigham scored for Yale on Baker's fumble, a passed ball and a wild pitch. For Harvard, Nichols went out by Hopkins to Stewart ; Coolidge took first base on Hhpkins' fumble. Baker hit a grounder to Booth who threw to Terry, but the latter muffed, making his only error of the game. Phillips flied out to Brigham ; LeMoyne took his base on balls. With these men on bases, Tilden flied out to

McKee, leaving the game with the score 8 to 1 in Yale's favor.

Yale played a pretty game in the field, Brigham, Terry and Souther, excelling, but they utterly failed to bat either Nichols or Winslow.

Harvard's fielding was very loose. Nichol's pitching, however, while fearfully wild, was very effective; and Winslow, who succeeded him pitched a suberb game, barring several bases on balls. Allen, considering the pitching he had to stop, did finely; and Baker played a good game at short-stop.

The batting of Harvard was good, ten out of thirty-one chances being accepted. In this respect they far outplayed their opponents. The trouble seemed to be, except in the first inning, a total inability to make safe hits when most needed. Harvard reached first base several more times than Yale, but with the exception of Baker they all failed to get home.
