The nine played the first game of the season on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Tremonts by a score of 15 to 2.

The game was one-sided and rather uninteresting, but the exhibition by our nine was very gratifying. Baker was unable to play on account of an injured hand, and his loss was materially felt at the bat, but his position at short-stop was perfectly filled by Lovering, who made a very brilliant stop of a swift grounder in the eighth inning. During the first four innings, Nichols and Allen pitched and caught with excellent effect.

Nichols completely puzzled the opposing nine and eight men struck out during the four innings in which he pitched. The best playing of the game was done by Allen, who held Nichols swift delivery with perfect ease. Winslow pitched well during the rest of the game, and was efficiently supported by Crocker. The Tremonts' fielding was very poor, and the nine was evidently demoralized by the absence of Fowler, their regular pitcher. Their best playing was done by Sullivan and Wood-man. For Harvard, Phillips and Winslow did the best batting, and White led the Tremonts.
