Owing to the injury of Mr. Perry, Moody went to the catcher's position, Harrison to short stop, Wheeler to centre, and Lynn to right field. The absence of Perry was severely felt both in this and the succeeding game, as was shown by the utter demoralization of the nine, and their poor playing - simply from the need of an experienced captain.

The second game was called at 11.30 on Thursday morning, the Harvards again at the bat. Mr. Hooper, '75, officiated as umpire. The first innings resulted in a whitewash for both sides. But on the second the Harvards got in 8 runs, on the third 5, and on the fourth 5, to the Browns 2, 1, and 1 in the same time. But here a change appeared. Kip seemed to lose his power of effective pitching, and Brown crept slowly up to our score; making three on the 5th, three on the 6th, and eight on the 7th. Brown went in on the ninth inning with twelve to tie, and thirteen to win the game, and nearly succeeded in doing this; for it was not until they had made eleven runs, and Tyng had been placed in the pitcher's position, that the last man went out on an easy fly to Richards at first base.

Such an exhibition of muffing is rarely seen on any field as the Harvards showed in the last few innings of this game. Every one took a hand in it, and all played as if they were utterly demoralized, showing little judgment and less nerve, which is very apt to be the case when a nine imagine they have an easy victory.

Comment is unnecessary, as there were no remarkably good plays
