Harvard defeated the Lovell nine yesterday for the second time in a very uninteresting and poorly played game. The Lovells presented a rather stronger team than on their former appearance, but their fielding was very weak. Harvard had no difficulty in batting the opposing pitchers, and stole bases with impunity, the best work in this respect being done by Whittemore. The fielding was very erratic, though Dean made a good stop and Hayes caught a difficult fly. Gregory pitched a steady game.

Harvard started in with a rush. Whittemore and Wrenn made hits, Hayes got a base on balls, Morton's scratch hit brought in a run, and Dean cleared the bases with a long hit on which he reached third. Beale got a base on balls, but Wrenn closed the inning by forcing him at second. In the second Hayes led off with a home run. Two runs were scored in the third and three more in the fourth on some batting, aided by very ragged fielding. No more runs were made until the eighth, when Stevenson's base on an error, and hits by Rand and Dean brought in two more.

The Lovells made their five runs in the third and fifth innings on several safe hits and some costly errors.

The score:

HARVARD.
