Harvard defeated Amherst at Amherst Saturday by the score of 4 to 2. The Harvard nine showed great improvement, especially in the fielding, and did not score a single error. The fielding of the Amherst nine was below the standard but their batting was strong. Highlands and Gregory both pitched well but Gregory was poorly supported. The best play of the game was Winslow's stop of Fletcher's hot drive near second. In the fourth inning Highlands stole home on a wild throw by Stearns which went over Tyler's head. The score:
