HARVARD vs. YALE, Jarvis Field, May 31.

The return game between our Nine and Yale filled the benches on Jarvis better than any previous event of the year, and the throng of ladies, each bedecked with fluttering magenta, reminded us of old times. Play was called punctually, with Mr. Allison, of the Resolutes, as umpire. The game was long and dragging, and must have been devoid of interest to any but students. Yale played a straight-out muffin game in the field, and at the bat Hooper was complete master. Our Nine were almost entirely free from that nervousness which usually takes possession of them in Yale matches, and fielded in fine style. Cutler won fresh laurels by his magnificent fielding, while the three basemen, aided by Annan, rendered running the bases an extremely delicate matter for their opponents. Hodges made the very creditable score of no outs, seven runs, four base-hits, and two double plays. Harvard's batting was a succession of heavy, safe hits. It is entirely incompatible with the theory of the game of base-ball that wild, brute-force throwing should be effective among good players. By the side of this blind throwing, Hooper's accurate pitching, requiring judgment and strategy as well as muscle, made a flattering contrast. The fielding of Yale, as we said above, was extremely loose. Wright should be credited with a fine catch in left field, however, and all agreed that Bentley's catching behind the bat was as good as anything in the game. We rather disliked the way Yale broke through the old custom of returning cheers after the match.

We give the score:-

HARVARD. YALE.
