Harvard won the first game with Dartmouth, yesterday, by a score of 4 to 3. The game was very interesting towards the last, Dartmouth leading by two runs from the fifth to the seventh innings. There was very little hitting on either side. Harvard led with seven hits, to four of Dartmouth. Three of Harvard's four runs were earned. The game was almost entirely a pitcher's game. O'Connor pitched magnificently for Dartmouth. He had almost perfect control of the ball. He struck out thirteen men, some of our best batters striking out two or three times in succession. He was finely supported by Ranney. Highlands pitched a strong game for Harvard, struck out seven men, gave only three bases on balls, and had only four hits against him, to seven by Harvard. Upton did not hold him nearly as well as on Saturday.

The features of the game were the catch of Frothingham's fly by Burdett, which he misjudged and then caught backwards, and Corbett's single to right field in the seventh, bringing in two runs and making the score a tie.

There was one thing about the game, which was disgraceful. This was the cheering by certain portions of the crowd whenever either side made an error, and the hissing of all questionable decisions of the umpire. This was done to be sure, mostly by outsiders, but Harvard men must make a determined effort to stop it. It is just this sort of thing which brings in the taint of professionalism to our amateur games.

Dartmouth came first to the bat and went out in one, two, three order.

Cook opened up the game with a scratch hit, but was forced out at second, on Mason's bunt to O'Connor. Hallowell struck out. Frothingham knocked a single just out of second base's reach, and brought in an earned run for Harvard. Hovey was thrown out at first on a grounder to Eaton.

In the second inning Dartmouth got a run on an error by Frothingham, two passed balls and a hit by Burdett. Dartmouth scored again in the fourth on an error of Corbett's, a passed ball, and a hit. Again in the fifth she scored on an error of Cook's, two wild pitches and a passed ball. This ended Dartmouth's scoring for the game.

With the score three to one against them Harvard pulled along until the seventh. Two men got out, and then Hovey made a single out to left field, stole second and went to third on a wild throw. Dickinson got his base on balls and stole second. Corbett tied the score by a clean base hit to right field, which brought in Hovey and Dickinson. They made the winning run in the eighth with two men out again. Cook got a scratch hit and stole second - Mason got a single which brought in Cook, but was left on third. Dartmouth went out in one, two, three order, on a grounder and a pretty double play by Highlands, Hovey and Dickinson. The score:
