OUR Eleven played a game at Salem with the Alphas on Saturday, May 17. The first inning was close and well played, and resulted in a tie, each side scoring 45. The fielding of our Eleven was very sharp; the noticeable points being Spinney's wicket-keeping, Warner's play at long-stop, and Green's at point. The batting was fair. Sullivan was not out for 16, and Rives scored his nine by a succession of very brilliant hits. In the second inning, when the Alphas were seven out for 66, they hit their wickets, hoping to put out the Harvards before dark. The Harvards went to the bat, and it seemed as if they would have the option of hitting their wickets also; for only three wickets were down for thirty runs when darkness ended the game. The following is the score: -
