Harvards three-game winning streak, came to an untimely end Wednesday, when the Stahlmen were defeated by a more experienced team from the District Coast Guard Office of Boston. The score of the game, which took place at Soldiers Field, was 6 to 3.
Tomorrow the Varsity will travel up to Durham, New Hampshire, to play the University of New Hampshire. The game was transferred from Soldiers Field to Durham because of the fact that Commencement exercises are being held there.

Heaviest hitter for the Crimson nine was right fielder Sherm Clark, with a double and a single. Jack Wallace helped his own cause along with a long triple. Second-baseman Belanger of the Coast Guard, who played pro ball for several years, was the heavy hitter of the day, with a triple and a home run in three turns to the plate. Wallace struck out four men, while Greeley fanned one. Foti, the Coast Guard pitcher, racked up three strikeouts.
The fielding on both sides was good throughout, contrasting sharply with the two previous games played by the Crimson. The Stahlmen pulled off three double plays, while the Coast Guard worked one. Each team committed only one error.
