Harvard beat the Boston Unions, yesterday, by a score of 10 to 7, but the game was probably as poor an exhibition of base ball as has been seen on Jarvis, this year. The batting was certainly a redeeming feature. A home run by Corbett, three-baggers by Hallowell and Mason, two-baggers by Paine and Hovey, and seven singles, being a creditable record for one game. But the fielding was wretched for the most part. It was only owing to the equally bad work of the Boston Unions, that saved Harvard from defeat. The game was interesting, for the score was kept comparatively close, and it is always more or less exciting to see heavy batting and men running around bases, while the ball is everywhere but in its right place. But to those who have the interest of the team at heart, it was discouraging to see such slovenly playing. Wiggin pitched for Harvard, and held himself well, considering his poor support. He watched his bases beautifully, and it was owing in a great part to this, that so few bases were stolen by the Boston Unions. In the latter part of the game he was hit safely rather frequently, but several times with men on bases, he succeeded in striking out the batters. Corbett caught well, and was quick to recover. He was not given many chances to throw to bases, but once was very wild, letting in two runs. His pretty home run, however, brought in two for Harvard, which evened matters up. The base running was better than in the last game, but was careless at times, while the coaching was not at all what it should have been. It was a thorough disappointment to the college at large, that a game so creditable from a batting point of view, should be so weak in nearly all other respects. Below is the score:
