HARVARD lost the toss, and went to the bat. For the first three innings each side was retired without runs, Hopkins's two-base hit being the only play at the bat worthy of mention. Parker took his base in the fourth by Nunn's fumble, second on Winsor's muff of Lamb's hit, third and home on Walden's force hit, Holden failing to put him out on the plate. Hopkins flied to Nunn, Camp hit for a base, Lamb scoring. Clark struck out, Nunn fumbled Smith's hit, Walden scoring, and Ripley finished the inning with an easy bounder to Alger. Hutchison flied to Howe in the fifth inning, Parker took his base off Olmsted's muff, Lamb, Walden, Hopkins, and Camp followed with base-hits, the remaining strikers going out; two earned runs went down to Yale's credit in this inning. The sixth inning opened with Yale, 6; Harvard, o. A two-baser by Howe and a passed ball gave Harvard her maiden run, which was immediately offset by base-hits by Hutchison and Parker, aided by a wild pitch. A two-base hit by Winsor, and errors by Hopkins, gave Harvard one more run in the seventh. Nunn, Howe, and Winsor made base-hits in the eighth, and, aided by errors of Hopkins and Camp, three runs were scored, two of which were earned. The sympathizers of the blue felt a little shaky about this time, and it was with great satisfaction that they beheld Harvard retired in striking order in the ninth. The last part of the inning was played rather loosely by our Nine, Yale making no less than five base-hits, earning two runs, and scoring four.

Howe and Winsor led at the bat for Harvard, while Hopkins and Camp did the same for Yale. Coolidge, Wright, and Olmsted played well in the field. Holden caught splendidly, and it is much to be regretted that Harvard loses his services in the next game. Alger played an excellent up-hill game, and acquitted himself admirably considering the heavy batting tendencies of the Yale Nine. Howe made one of the finest fly-catches ever seen on a ball field. Hutchison's play at short was the principal feature on the part of Yale; he succeeded in stopping several seeming base-hits, and in sending them over to Hopkins like rifle-balls. Smith played pluckily behind the bat, but was weak in throwing to second. The following is the score:-
