A large audience for the season witnessed Harvard defeat Bowdoin Saturday, by a score of 12 to 3. Harvard batted Davis out of the box in 4 innings. Wilson then went in to pitch and did not allow Harvard another hit. Bowdoin batted Smith for only two safe hits and fielded loosely. Harvard fielded well except in the sixth inning, and batted heavily; especially in the second, making two singles, a three bagger, and a home run. Soule led in batting and fielding for the visitors, while the battery carried off the honors for Harvard. Both sides ran bases poorly, Harvard excelling in this respect.

The score.

HARVARD.
