Harvard beat the Thomson-Houston nine yesterday in a rather tedious game, 10 to 2. Harvard took a remarkable brace in batting, having only one strike-out and eleven base hits, with a total of twenty-five. Five three-baggers were lined out, and one two-bagger. But the thing which was most noticeable about the Harvard team was the entire lack of knowledge about base-running. Only two bases were stolen, and in a number of cases the men were caught napping, and thrown out. This is a serious lack, and will do a great deal of harm if it is not remedied very early. It is the same fault which has been apparent in nearly every game this year.

Howe and Cobb were the battery for Harvard. Howe pitched a very fair game, striking out eleven men and giving only four bases on balls. In the ninth inning, however, he went to pieces, much as in some of last year's games, and helped to let in two runs, one of them earned. Cobb was very wild in his base throwing and did not show up very well in batting. Again Cook threw wild to first on his only chance. Dickinson played a very steady game at first.

The Thomson-Houston men played fairly well but were very poor batters. The only hits they got were in the ninth inning, two singles.

The nine will play another game today at 4 p. m. with the Boston Union team. This will be a good game, as the nine is a team of picked professionals, who play a strong game.

The score of yesterday's game was as follows:
