The rain held up yesterday just long enough to let Harvard win the game against Brown. A crowd numbering about 500 were on hand to see the game. Harvard played a strong game throughout, and showed clearly what she is capable of doing.

The game was called at four o'clock with Harvard at the bat. Coolidge knocked a hot ball to Bassett, who fumbled it. Baker forced Coolidge out, reached second on a passed ball, but was caught off second by Bassett's throw to Wadsworth of a ball from Smith's bat. Lovering hit to Wadsworth, who fumbled the ball, and Nichols hit to Bassett. who also fumbled it, and let Smith and Lovering each gain a base. Allen then made a hot drive by third, sending in Smith and Lovering. Nichols was put out at third, ending the inning. For Brown, Greene hit the first ball pitched for a home run. Bassett got his base on balls, but was thrown out while trying to steal second. Shedd struck out, and Durfee fouled out to Nichols.

In the next two innings neither Harvard nor Brown scored, though Keep and Smith were each left on third for Harvard, and Rhett for Brown.

Up to this time the game was close and the result uncertain; but in the fourth inning Harvard dispelled all doubts as to the result of the game by piling up five runs. Crocker and Beaman first went out. Crocker, Gunderson to Doron; Beaman on a strike out. Keep knocked to Gunderson, but Gunderson's throw was muffed by Doron, and Keep got his base, and went to third directly after on a wild pitch. Coolidge was given his base on balls, and went to second. Baker sent a high fly over left field's head, knocking home Keep and Coolidge, and reaching second himself. Smith was given his base on balls, and came home on Lovering's hot two-baser by second and Wadsworth's error. To cap the climax Nichols sent a three-baser far over the fielders' heads, and brought Lovering home. Nichols was left on third, as Allen flied out to Rhett. For Brown, Shedd was given first base on called balls. Durfee hit a hot one at Coolidge's feet, taking first and sending Shedd to second. Seagraves struck out. Gunderson made a hit to right field, filling the bases. Wadsworth sent a slow grounder along first base line. Smith threw home a little wild, and Shedd scored. Nichols dropped the third strike on Rhett, and touched the home plate, putting out Durfee, who was forced out by Rhett's becoming a base-runner. He then threw Rhett out at first.

After this Brown reached first but twice-one in the seventh on Gunderson's two-base hit, and once in the eighth on Bassett's single.

In the fifth inning for Harvard Beaman made a run on Bassett's error, a passed ball and Coolidge's base-hit. In the sixth Lovering hit safe to centre, and Nichols knocked him home with another three-bagger, giving Harvard her first earned run. A wild throw by centre field let Nichols reach home on his hit. Harvard earned three runs in the seventh. Keep reached first on Shedd's fumble, and stole second. Coolidge sent him to third on a safe hit, and then went to second himself. Baker sent both home on a hit, and came in himself on Lovering's three-baser. Lovering came in on a base-hit by Nichols, who was soon forced out by Allen. Allen was run out between first and second, every man on the Brown nine taking a hand in the put out.

Harvard played a very strong game, both at the bat and in the field. The best batting was done by Nichols, Lovering and Baker. Good base-running was done by Keep, Lovering, Baker and Coolidge. Most of Harvard's work in the field was done by Allen and Nichols, both of whom played a beautiful game. Gunderson and Greene also did most of the work for Brown, both at the bat and in the field. A remarkable feature of the game was that Doron, Brown's first baseman, should have had but four chances, and only two put outs. The score:
