EIGHTY-EIGHT GAINS A VICTORY OVER EIGHTY-SIX BY A SCORE OF 7 TO 5.

The game on Jarvis yesterday afternoon was the most interesting and best played of the class games this spring. A strong west wind blew directly up the field, which accounts for the fact that all the base hits were singles. The fielding on both sides was very sharp, especially that of eighty-six, who, outside of the battery, played an almost perfect game. Palmer and Austin alternated every two innings in pitching for the freshmen, although Austin took Palmer's place in the ninth after five successive hits had been made off the latter. For eighty-six, Gardner, Rankin and Collins did the best work in the fleld, and for eighty-eight Fargo, Jones and Holden excelled. The features of the game were the throw of Jones from centre to home which cut off Collins who attempted to run home after the fly was caught, and Gardiner's splended catch of a long fly which he captured after a long run from left field. The score would probably have been much closer had not two men of the eighty-six nine been caught napping at first in the ninth inning. Eighty-eight won the game by bunching their hits in the fourth and ninth innings. Following is the score:
