Class Championship Game.

Ninety-two Beats Ninety-three 6 to 5.

The opening game of the class series was played on Jarvis Field, yesterday afternoon, between Ninety-two and Ninety-three, resulting in a close victory of 6 to 5 for the seniors.

The juniors turned out in larger numbers than the seniors, and their strength was augmented by a very noisy drum corp, made up of enthusiastic class men, and by a couple of hurdy-gurdies. The seniors on the north side of the field were less demonstrative, while they sat on the grass and watched their team as it won the victory.

The game was throughout very close and interesting. The greater part of Ninety-two's runs were made in the fourth inning. Three hits, two bases on balls and an error cost the juniors four runs. Two hits and three errors in the third netted '93 their first two scores and again in the sixth two earned runs were made by two pretty home runs by Stubbs and Merriam. The hits were made in succession, and both followed almost exactly in the same direction, just over the third base.

In the ninth the juniors tied the score by a base hit by Fearing, a steal, and errors by pitcher and second baseman. In the latter half there was intense excitement. Rankin took his base on being hit by a pitched ball, stole second and third, and came home on a sacrifice by Hollis. This decided the game and the inning was not finished.
