Base-Ball.

About thirty or forty Harvard men were present yesterday at College Hill, to witness a rather exciting game between Harvard and Tufts. The opposing nine played a fairly good game, considering that their catcher and pitcher were hired especially for this occasion from the John L. Whiting team. The grounds were extremely poor, and the umpire, if possible, worse. The feature of the game was Choate's long uphill hit to right field, which secured him a home run. Other good plays were made by Foster for Harvard, and by Barkley and Chapman for Tufts. Smith's pitching was effective, while the number of assists he made was rather unusual. For the home nine White led at the bat, making about half the hits made by his side. The following is the score; its closeness is due, for the greater part, to the poor grounds.
