The Crimsons played their first championship game yesterday morning with the Volunteers, and were defeated by the score of 25 to 14. The batting was about even, but the Volunteers proved themselves much the superior team in the field. The Crimsons led up to the fifth innings, when accidents happened to their battery which prevented them from playing in their respective positions. But for these accidents the score would probably have been closer. The best fielding was done by Holmes, Dame and Sturgis, while Dexter, Holmes and Bancroft excelled at the bat. The score by innings:

Innings. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Volunteers 4 4 0 4 1 4 1 7 -25

Crimsons. 1 4 7 1 0 0 0 0 1-14

Base hits - Crimson, 14; Volunteers, 16. Errors - Crimsons, 17; Volunteers, 9.
