Two hundred spectators watched Harvard defeat Cornell yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 5.

Cornell out-fielded and out-batted Harvard but lost the game through failing to bunch their hits. Harvard on the other hand was extremely fortunate in this respect. Four out of their six hits came in the fourth inning and these coupled with a bad muff by Parnhall netted four runs, three of which were earned.

Our team played wholly without life. Once and once only did they show any spirit at all and that was in the fourth inning. Having obtained a lead of four runs they seemed to think that was all that was necessary.

Poor base-running cost us three put outs, and one of these was at the plate.

Our fielding was weak and there seemed to be a decided tendency to bunch errors.

The batting was not so bad, but lacked snap. The encouraging part was that every one hit the ball.

Cornell was first at the bat. Schreiner and Taylor flew out; Wilkinson hit safely to left but was thrown out trying to steal second.

In the second after two men were out, Dimon reached first on a fumble by Mumford; a passed ball sent him to second, a steal to third. He was left there by Etyenne striking out.

In the third, Campbell made a beautiful running catch of a fly from Schreiner's bat. Morrison made a base hit and on Bingham's muff of Wilkinson's pop fly reached third; Parnhall flew out, leaving two men on bases.

In the fourth Campbell made another beautiful play by shutting Sanderson off at first on what seemed to be a sure hit.

In the fifth Newberry got his base on balls and scored on Schreiner's three-bagger to right centre.

In the sixth Foster and Willard made a very neat double play. This was dampened by errors of Mumford and one of Boyden's which gave Cornell another run.

Wilkinson opened the eighth with a hard hit to left centre for three bases; a base hit sent him home, and the attempt at put out allowed Parnhall to reach third. The next two men retired in order; Willard's muff of Morrison, dropped third strike allowed Parnhall to score, and a moment later Morrison scored on Mumford's fumble of a grounder from Etyenne's bat.

With one run to tie the score, Cornell went to the bat in the ninth. Taylor made a scratch hit, a pass ball and a put out sent him to third. At this point Schreiner tried an old Chicago trick. He endeavord to get Bingham to throw him the ball on the plea that it was ripped. Had Bingham done so, the ball would have been blocked; the man on third would have scored.

Harvard retired in order for the first two innings; Foster got his base on balls in the third, and on a steal, a put out and a passed ball, scored; Linn opened the fourth with a three bagger to right field; Parnhall dropped a fly from Campbell's bat; Linn scored; Willard hit safely and came in on Foster's three baser to left field. This netted four runs, three of which were earned.
