The freshman played their first game Saturday, at Newtonville, and were defeated by the home team. The ground was simply mountanous and the crowd noisy, neither of which, however, is an excuse for the wretched playing of the freshmen. The batting was lamentably weak, and the fielding, though at times fair, as a rule was poor, and showed want of practice and a tendency to get rattled. Fargo and Palmer did the best work for the freshmen, and Bates for the High School.
The following is the score for the freshmen :
A. B. R. B. H. T. B. P. O. A. E.
