The game with Amherst was an easy victory for the 'varsity yesterday. The fielding was perfect; Highlands fielded his own position for seven assists and a put-out and none of the men behind him made an error.

Highlands pitched a very steady effective game. It was hard luck for him that Amherst scored her two runs in the fourth. With no one out, Hunt and Steans on safe hits made third and second. The next two men were out on weak bunts to the infield, but Landis, after two strikes were called, placed a lucky hit safely over Abbott's head, and the two runs came in.

The nine did some good batting but it was not extraordinary considering who the Amherst pitcher was Colby, their regular pitcher, was saved for the Dartmouth games Friday and Saturday, and Gregory, the freshman pitcher, was put in the box. The 'varsity made fifteen hits with a total of twenty-two, but the freshmen, three weeks ago, against the same man made ten with a total of fourteen. Hovey, Cook and Mason did exceptionally fine work at the bat. The fault which the men had of knocking balls into the air is growing less marked, but it is not altogether cured. Of the twenty-four putouts, five were on strike-outs, three on foul balls, two on pop-flies to the infield, for on high hits to outfield and ten on ground balls. Of the hits, ten also were on the ground. That is to say of the thirty one times that the ball was fairly met, It was put on the ground twenty times. This certainly speaks well for the new method of batting.

The score;

HARVARD.
