But for some 40 Brown men upon the north benches, a like number of Harvard freshmen upon the south benches, and a corporal's guard of upperclassmen, Holmes Field would have been untenanted yesterday afternoon. The game which attracted this small audience was uninteresting enough. The fielding was not bad, but the utter lack of anything like respectable batting made the innings drag along slowly.

The Brown men went first to the bat, and brought in two runs by a couple of bases on balls, a timely hit, a wild pitch, and a passed ball. Three hits, a base on balls, and an error gave them our more runs in the second inning. The seventh inning yielded one more inn, brought in by a hit, a steal, and two bases on a wild pitch. Harvard was blanked for six innings, and only twice got men to third. Rain stopped the game in the middle of the seventh, and made the score revert to the sixth inning. Morgan, Hurley and Young did good work for the home nine.
