Runs earned: Harvard, 0; King Philip, 1.

The result of the game was, of course, a disappointment to us; but it was fairly earned by the King Philips, who both outbatted and outfielded our Nine. Their batting in the fourth and fifth innings was very heavy, and their fielding throughout the game was almost without an error.

The swift pitching which the Harvards have faced all the spring seemed to have somewhat incapacitated them for hitting Thompson's deceptive slows; and their batting was not nearly as good as it has been in some of the recent games. Hooper and Estabrooks each made a pretty hit. Eustis brought in three men by a hard hit to centre-field which went through the fielder's hands, making a very welcome addition to the score, as he followed them directly on a passed ball by Madigan. Our Nine fielded very well, notwithstanding the slippery ball. Hodges and Kent played without errors. In the first inning Hooper disposed of the King Philips with only four balls pitched. White caught very well; Tyler played his base well; and Cutler made a beautiful catch in left field, which certainly atoned for his previous muff.

HARVARD '76 vs. BROWN '76, Jarvis Field, June 7.

OWING to the University match, which was arranged for the afternoon, the game was begun at 11.45 A. M. Our Freshmen did not play as good a game as they have in previous matches, but had no difficulty in vanquishing their opponents. The good fielding of Perry and Ernst, and the batting of Tyng, Sleeper, and Kip, the latter making a home run, were noticeable features of the game. On the part of the Browns, the principal good plays were made by Matheson, Comstock, and Allen. The thanks of both Nines are due to Mr. Stratton for his strict and impartial umpiring.

The score: -
