ON Friday, June 16, the University met the Boston Nine for the fifth time this season. Harvard had her usual luck, and went to the bat, only to retire in one, two, three order. George Wright and O'Rourke led off for the other side with base hits, but the Bostons failed to score, George Wright being caught napping at third, and prettily thrown out by Thatcher, who purposely muffed the ball at the third strike. In the second inning, Harvard again failed to score, but had two men left on bases. Schafer scored for the Bostons, the next three men retiring at first. Score, 1 to 0 in favor of the Bostons. Neither Nine scored in the third inning. In the next two innings Harvard made four runs by good batting, assisted by errors of Morrill and Manning. Boston failed to score again till the end of the sixth inning, when the score stood 4 to 1 in favor of Harvard. After this, however, the tide turned. Harvard did not score again, while the Bostons, principally by heavy batting, made four runs in the seventh, one in the eighth, and one in the ninth inning, thus winning the game, - 7 to 4. Harvard outfielded her opponents, and for six innings outbatted them, so that at one time it looked very much as if the game would be ours. It is much to be regretted that in this game the professionals allowed themselves to act in a manner which, to say the least, was decidedly ungentlemanly. As our Nine will not play with them again this season, we shall not enter into particulars. For our Nine, Leeds batted finely, making two first and three total base hits. Thayer played well at third, capturing two hot liners very handsomely. Thatcher caught without a passed ball.
