DEFEAT BY AMHERST, 3 TO 0

The University baseball team suffered its fourth successive defeat yesterday afternoon when it was shut out by Amherst, 3 to 0. This game, in which Harvard secured but one hit, coming just three days before the Princeton game, makes the outlook anything but encouraging. Brick, who pitched for Amherst, was steady at all times, and used an effective slow spit ball which the Harvard batters were unable to send for safe hits. Most of the balls rolled to the infielders, and resulted in easy outs. Only four Harvard men reached first base, and Aronson's single over second in the sixth inning was Harvard's lone hit.

Amherst on its part fielded well and secured eight hits off Lanigan, one of which went for three bases. Until the last inning, however, Lanigan kept the hits well scattered, and Amherst's only earned run came when Palmer hit to right for three bases and came home on Michaels's single. The other two runs came in the sixth and seventh innings. Washburn singled with two out. Danahey followed with a hit to right, which Aronson failed to stop, the first runner going all the way home, and Danahey reaching second. In the seventh Palmer singled with one out. The next man hit a slow one to McCall, who fielded the ball to first; but Briggs dropped the throw, and then tried to catch Palmer off third. The throw was low, but Leonard saved another error by a good stop. The next man up made a clever sacrifice, and the run was scored.

With three exceptions, two of which were costly, Harvard played a good game in the field, and Aronson, Simons, Currier, and Dana, all contributed good plays. Any team, however, which does not bat looks weak, and Harvard certainly appeared weak yesterday.
