BASE-BALL.

Harvard 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 2

The second game of the series was played on the 17th, and was highly exciting and interesting. The Bostons put in the Whites to pitch and catch, with Manning in right field as change pitcher if needed. Up to the fourth inning neither side succeeded in scoring; in the fourth inning, however, the Bostons succeeded in getting in one run, leaving the game one to nothing in their favor. From thence up to the ninth inning there were no more runs made, but in the ninth Leeds and Dow each succeeded in getting in an earned run, making the game one to two in our favor. When the Bostons came in to take their last inning, their first two men, Schafer and W. White, went out in order, and every one thought that we had the game in our own hands. George Wright, however, got his base on called balls, and Leonard and J. White followed with safe hits. Three runs were scored, leaving the game four to two in favor of the Bostons. This game was lost, as was the preceding, by hard luck in not getting our base-hits in at the right time. There were several times during the game when a good base-hit would have won it. The score was as follows: -
