Harvard 13; Hartford 19.The nine played a remarkably poor game yesterday afternoon, and was defeated by the Hartfords in the worst played contest seen on Holmes field during the year. The men ylayed with no life at all except at the bat, where they did fair work.

In the first inning with one out, Mann got first on balls, and stole second and third. Foster got his base on balls and stole second. Connell made a three-bagger to left and brought both men in. Walsh lined the ball out for another three base hit, and O'Connell came in. Smith and Moore struck out. For Harvard, Dean hit to right for two bases, and came in on Linn's hit. Linn took second on the throw in, third on Howland's hit, and stole home on the throw to second on Howland's steal. Howland came in on Alward's hit to centre.

In the second Howland made a beautiful running catch of Lyston's fly. Major got his first on Frothingham's error, second on Annis' hit, third on a passed ball, but was out at the plate. Annis hit safely, took second on a passed ball, and third on Major's out. Mann got first on the same play and stole second. Upton failed to stop Dean's throw to the plate, and Annis and Mann both scored.
