The Rollstones of Fitchburg played a return game with Harvard on Holmes' Field Saturday afternoon. The weather was delightful, and the few spectators thoroughly enjoyed the game. The visitors lacked two of their regular players, and their places were filled by Coggswell, a former member of the club, and by Litchfield, of Harvard.

The game began at three o'clock with Beaman, the former veteran third base-man of Harvard, at the bat. Beaman has played ball considerably this summer and had never failed to make at least one base hit in a game until a week ago Saturday, when he faced Smith at Fitchburg. Bound this time to punish Harvard's new pitcher, he made what seemed to be one of his old-time hits over short-stop's head. But Wiestling ran back swiftly, leaped in the air and captured the ball with one hand, a marvellous catch. In the first inning Harvard scored twice on hits by Willard and Wiestling, and errors by Flagg and Sullivan; and in the fifth two more runs were added by a base on a passed ball, another error by Flagg and hits by Henshaw and Foster. In the eighth inning, hits by Wiestling, Smith and Phillips, aided by a passed ball, netted two runs. The Rollstones were utterly unable to hit Smith; of the four hits credited them, two were mere scratch hits. Errors by Edgerly and Wiestling gave them their two runs, one in the sixth and one in the eighth inning.

Harvard played only a fairly good game in the field. The errors, except that of Willard's, were hardly excusable, and one of the hits off of Smith would never have been safe had the ball been fielded more quickly. Phillips did some of his old time work at second, and Smith in the pitcher's box stopped a number of swift balls. His delivery puzzled the Rollstones very much, and although they usually hit the ball, it would almost inevitably be sent back to Smith or Phillips. Henshaw supported his pitcher in fine style. For the Rollstones, Litchfield at short and J. Regan at second, did the best work. The batting was not free on either side. Wiestling hit very hard, and Beaman made half the hits for his side, but the other players experienced considerable difficulty in batting safely.

Harvard's new change battery gives promise of excellent work. Smith is very effective, and is as cool and self-possessed as any man in the pitcher's box. He has great command of the ball, and his judgment is always excellent. Henshaw, who has just entered college, is a splendid back stop, and throws with great swiftness and accuracy to the bases. Judging from the good material which has shown up this fall and the live interest which the men all take, Harvard has every reason to feel that the pennant may again be ours next spring.
