Saturday's game with Brown, though devoid of any brilliant features, was nevertheless characterized by steady playing which is sure to win in the long run. Bean's pitching cannot be taken as a sample of what he is able to do against a college nine, as he has been suffering lately from a strain received while practising. Tilden's umpiring was very poor throughout the game and Brown was benefitted in almost every instance by his bad judgment, the Boston papers to the contrary notwithstanding. Coolidge, Olmsted and Greene led the batting, and Lovering, Nichols and Chase did the best fielding. A very noticeable feature of the game was the base running of Olmsted and Coolidge. Following is a summary of the game.
