In a wretchedly played game, the University nine defeated Maine on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by the score of 7 to 3. Harvard played a miserable game in the field making eight errors as against three for the visitors. The University team did well at the bat after the fifth inning, however, and had little difficulty in solving Driscoll's delivery at opportune moments. On the other hand, Hitchcock held the Maine team well in hand at all stages, giving them only two safe hits one of which was of the scratch variety. Had he been given creditable support in the field he would have scored a shut out.
Gannett and Tomes excelled at the bat for Harvard, the latter connecting safely three times out of as many times at bat. Gannett also made a spectacular catch of a line drive in the fifth inning. Frye contributed a spectacular play by making a pretty catch of a hard hit fly along the left field foul line. York in centre field for Maine made a good try for Clark's fly in the fifth and managed to touch the ball but it got away from him, Clark making a circuit of the bases.
As in the Bowdoin game, the University team showed its ability to hit at opportune times and to hit hard. The men all stood up well at the plate and used good judgment at the bat.
The summary: Earned runs--Harvard 4. Home run--Clark. Double play--Clark to Ayres. Base on balls--off Driscoll 2, Hitchcock 4. Left on bases--Harvard 4, Maine 4. First base on errors--Harvard 2, Maine 7. Passed balls--Osborn 2. Struck out--by Hitchcock 5, Driscoll 4.
