Yesterday afternoon Harvard played their second game with Bowdoin, and defeated them by a score of 10 to 2. Henshaw's hands were sore and Allen, '86, kindly consented to catch for Harvard. Linn, '90, played right field. He had no chances in the field, but his batting was good. Underwood pitched for Bowdoin, and though he only struck out one man, very few safe hits were made off him He pitches a very slow ball, and as Harvard has not had any practice on that kind of pitching the men failed to hit the ball hard.
The game was called at four o'clock with Harvard at the bat. Wiestling was thrown out at first by Williamson, Foster got his base on a fumble by short and stole second. Campbell got first on a wild throw by Cary, and Foster and Campbell came in on Williamson's poor throw to first to cut Willard off. Allen made a two-bagger, bringing in Willard and got in himself on a wild. pitch. This closed the run getting for this inning.
Harvard did not score again till the fifth inning, though they got men on bases in the second and third on errors. In the fifth, Wiestling got his base on a fumble by first, stole second and Campbell made a hit, bringing Wiestling and Foster in. Campbell stole third but was left there.
Harvard went out in order in the sixth, but added two runs to their score in the seventh. Campbell got first on an error by Freman, stole second and third and came home on Moulton's error. Willard got his base on balls, stole second, went to third on an attempt to catch Campbell at the plate and got home on Allen's long fly to Dearth. In the eighth, Linn made a single, stole second, and came in on Wiestling's three-bagger. And in the ninth Williard made a hit, got second on a passed ball, third on an error by Cary and got home on Boyden's grounder to Freman.
Bowdoin failed to score in the first or second innings In the third Dearth got his base on balls, stole second, went to third on a passed ball and came in on Moulton's hit to short. The inning closed with three men on bases. Bowdoin did not score again till the eighth inning, though they got men on bases several times. In the eighth Soule made a single, stole second, and came in on Williamson's single. This closed their run getting.
Harvard played a very strong fielding game, every one playing well and with snap. Their base running was also very fine. Bowdoin played a loose fielding game, and Soule was the only man who seemed able to hit Boyden at all. The score:
HARVARD.
