[Special Despatch to the CRIMSON.]

PHILADELPHIA, May 14, 1888.

Although it rained all the forenoon, the Harvard nine decided to play their scheduled game with the University of Pennsylvania. The game was close, but this was due chiefly to the condition of the grounds. A large audience was present and did its best to help along Pennsylvania, cheering all the errors of the Harvards. The decisions of the umpire, a member of the University, were not wholly in favor of Harvard. On three occasions Harvard put men out at the plate, but the umpire declared them safe. Bates pitched a very good game under the circumstances. Henshaw's work behind the bat was grand, while Boyden did well at the bat. The work of the home team was fairly steady, but they were unable to bat Bates at critical points. The score:-
