Saturday was a model day for the first baseball game, and an unusually large attendance was the result. Harvard's score was only 12, a considerable drop from 26 of last year. The game was extremely slow and tiresome. There was no brilliant playing whatever except, perhaps, the catch of Frothingham's hit by Millard in the sixth inning, and the batting of Hallowell, Frothingham and Hovey. Andover made but four hits all singles, two each by Donovan and Jennings. Of Harvard's ten hits, Hallowell, Frothingham, and Hovey made eight. Hallowell led with a single and two doubles. Frothingham and Hovey also made each a double. Harvard's best work was done by the pichers. J. Highlands struck out six men, allowing only two men to make his, J. Wiggin struck out five men, two hits being made. while A. Highlands struck out only two men, but did not allow a single hit. Corbett's catching was careless. Of the thirteen strike-outs he muffed the ball on seven third-strikes. He held the last two pitchers, however very much better than J. Highlands, the first one.

Harvard came to the bit first, and made three runs, Hallowell getting his base on balls and reaching home on two passed balls, Hovey making a hit, stealing second, reaching third on an error by Murphy, and home on Frothingham's single, which also let in Abbott, who had been given a base on balls.

In the second. Highlands got his base on balls, reached third on Hallowell's double but was caught between third and home. Hallowell stole second while Andover was making this play and a few minutes later came home, being forced in by bases on balls given to Abbott and +++ovey.

In the third, Highlands and Frothingham scored, Frothingham making a two base hit, reaching third on Dickinson's sacrifice, and home on Donovan's errors of a hit by Highlands, who scored on erros. In the fourth, but one Harvard player reached first base and he on an error by second baseman. Frothingham made the only hit in the fifth, following with two stolen bases, and reaching home on a sacrifice by Corlett. Harvard earned o e run in the sixth, Cook led off with a single, and stole second, and reached home on Hovey's two-bagger.

In the seventh two more runs were tallied. Dickinson scored the second earned run by a hit, two stolen bases, and a single by Hallowell. The other run was made by Corbett. Abbott and Sullivan scored in the eighth, both getting bases on balls, Abbott stealing second and third, and Sullivan second, and both coming home on Millard's muff of Corbett's fly to short center. This ended the scoring, though Hallowell made a very pretty two base hit in the next inning.

The score:

HARVARD.
