On account of the threatening weather, there were but few spectators at the game between the Amherst and Harvard freshmen, on Holmes Field, Saturday afternoon. Except toward the very last, the game was dull. It was marked by the wildest batting and worse base-running of the home team and the bungling work of the Amherst third baseman and left fielder. The pitcher, catcher and second baseman played the best fielding game for Amherst. For Harvard, Dean's work at second was excellent. The batting of the nine as a whole was terribly weak, seventeen men striking out and but few hits made. The best batting for Harvard was done by Corning and Mason.
The game was easily Harvard's until the sixth inning, when the Amherst men, with two men out, began to hit Cummings and made four runs, making the score four to two. In the next inning, however, Harvard began to bat the ball a little and regained her lead, making the score 6 to 5. The score:-
