The Nine played a practice game with the Boston Nine on the Boston grounds, Wednesday afternoon. The game was perhaps the best the Nine has played this season. Their batting record was good and the fielding fair, considering that they played against a professional club. Dwyer, '77, was tried behind the bat, and up to the fourth inning he caught very well, but, being struck in the temple by a foul tip, he was obliged to retire, and Thatcher caught during the rest of the game. The score is as follows:-
