The 'varsity nine met yesterday for the second time this year, a picked nine composed of Cambridge professionals. The 'varsity showed great improvement since their last game with this nine, but there were, nevertheless, several weak points. The fielding was generally good. Willard was hardly up to his s andard on first, but at short Dean played a magnificent game, taking ten chances without an error. The base running was very poor. Only eight innings were played. Hawley pitched a very fair game, and the opposing team made but few hits off him. Appended is the score:
