THE NINE LOSES.

Brown won the baseball game at Providence yesterday by the score of 13 to 7. The chief reason for the defeat is to be found in Paine's weakness in the box during the first four innings, during which time six two base-hits and four singles were made off his delivery. Some of the two-base hits would have been certain outs on a good field, but according to the ground rules at Brown, every ball going over the left field fence, as every ordinary fly ball does, counts for a two base hit.

Dean's absence at second was also a great loss to the nine, as Loughlin played poorly, being directly responsible for two of the runs. Fitz, who pitched for the last four innings, had speed and curves, but not much control, giving seven bases on balls.

Harvard fielded well, the feature of the game in this respect being Paine's catch of a line ball in the second.

Harvard batted well enough to win an ordinary game, Rand and Scannell making clean three base-hits, Beale and Paine two base-hits, and every one except Stevenson and Fitz making singles.

For Brown, Phillips played an excellent game at shortstop. Lander made three two-base hits and a single out of four times at bat, and Summersgill three two-base hits out of three times at bat.
