The freshman nine defeated the Exeter nine at Exeter yesterday by a score of 18 to 11. The game was marked by wretched fielding on both sides and no very heavy batting. For the first three innings Harvard played a faultless game, retiring the Exeter players in one, two, three order. In five of the six remaining innings they allowed Exeter to score, every run being on errors. Exeter did not play an inning without an error, piling up the number to twenty-four. Both the pitchers did good work, Chamberlain striking out ten men and being hit for only five bases, while Pritchard kept Harvard down to seven bases. In batting Kimball and Chamberlain led for Harvard and Pritchard and Knapp for Exeter. Kimball and Austin fielded well, while Bruner, the only man on the nine who did not make an error, made a pretty catch of a line-fly in right field. Knapp and Honore played well for Exeter. The Score:

HARVARD, '86.
