The freshmen partially retrieved Wednesday's defeat yesterday afternoon by beating the Boston Latin School nine, 11 to 4. Most of the men played in a listless way and showed no snap whatever. In base running the freshmen were especially poor. They seemed to be afraid to slide to bases and lost several runs by their slowness.

Ever since the season began, J. Lowell '94 has had the men in charge, and it is through no fault of his that they have made such a poor showing. The players themselves are wholly to blame. They possess considerable ability which can be worked up to advantage, if the men will only work and show some interest in the game. In yesterday's game Warren and Lord played well for the freshmen and Edwards and Maguire did good work for the Boston Latin School nine.

The batteries were: Ninety-seven, Hill, Harris and Dunlop; Boston Latin School, Rand, Ring and Frost.
