HARVARD DEFEATS TUFTS.

The University nine defeated Tufts in a close but rather uninteresting game on Soldiers Field yesterday by a score of 5 to 4. In the field both teams showed up remarkably well, but the batting and base-running lacked dash and vigor. Three of the eight hits credited to Harvard were of the scratch order, and twice the side was retired with the bases full. On the other hand the men showed no impatience and generally good judgment in batting. Kernan pitched well except in the sixth and seventh innings when he let down and allowed Tufts five hits and a base on balls. Coolidge played brilliantly at shortstop and made the prettiest play of the game in the seventh inning, when he stopped a hard grounder with one hand and cut off Curran at the plate. He also led the team in batting with a single and a double.
