The game yesterday afternoon was exceedingly slow and uninteresting. Both nines seemed to have gone to sleep, and it was not until about the eighth inning that Harvard seemed to wake up. The game was won not on account of any especially good playing on Harvard's part, but more on account of the very slovenly playing of Williams in the fourth and seventh innings. The only earned run that was made was that by Paine in the eighth. The batting of both nines was exceedingly weak. Out of Harvard's nine hits four were scratch, and ones which should have been fielded. Williams made but five, and two of these should have been easy outs. In all eighteen men struck out. Harvard made nine of her ten runs in the fourth and seventh innings, owing to errors and five timely hits. In the field Harvard made but two errors. Stevenson muffed a low ball, allowing Goodrich to reach first, and in the fifth inning Whittemore's wild throw of Fitch's hit allowed Williams to make her first run. Wrenn fielded his position well, accepting six chances without an error. Scannell caught a fine game with eight put outs and three assists to his credit. Paine's curves seemed to puzzle the visitors, for five scattered hits were all they could make and eight men struck out. In the outfield Burgess and Hayes caught everything that came their way. For Williams, Draper played by far the best game of the day. He caught Corey's wild and unsteady pitching beautifully. For three innings Lewis pitched a fine game, striking out six men and allowing but one hit, but in the middle of the fourth he retired and Corey took his place. For one inning he was as wild as a hawk, but he soon steadied down and kept Harvard guessing.

Williams came to the bat first. Paine retired Ashton on three balls. Dewey fared no better. Ide, after two strikes had been called, hit the ball to Wrenn, who fielded him out at first.

For Harvard, Winslow came to the bat and knocked a single, but was put out while trying to steal second. Burgess and Whittemore both struck out.

In the second inning Draper fielded out to Hayes. Goodrich hit the ball to short, who made a low throw to first, which Stevenson muffed. Bradley hit to Paine, who threw him out at first, and Goodrich went to second, but was thrown out while trying to steal third.

Hayes made a scratch hit between second and first and stole second, but was left there, as the next three men struck out.

The next inning opened with Drysdale's fouling out to Stevenson. Fitch flied out to Burgess. Corey hit safely, but was put out at second on Ashton's grounder to Wrenn. Stevenson then got his base on balls. Paine hit to second, who put Stevenson out. Winslow struck out and Burgess was thrown out at first.

In the fourth inning Paine struck three men out. For Harvard, Whittemore got his base on a fumble by Bradley and stole second. Lewis then retired from the pitcher's box and Corey took his place. The difference was soon marked. Hayes got his base on balls, a wild pitch then advanced Whittemore to third and Hayes to second, and both came home on Scannell's hit to left. Scannell reached second, went to third on Bradley's fumble of Wrenn's grounder, Wrenn stole second, Rand got his base on balls, and the bases were full. Paine's single brought in two more runs, making five in all.

Williams made her first run in the fifth inning. Bradley got his base on balls and went to second on Drysdale's sacrifice. Fitch then hit safely. Whittemore made a wild throw and Bradley scored. Corey fouled out to Scannell and Ashton struck out. Harvard went out in one, two, three order.

Neither side reached second in the sixth.

In the seventh Williams scored again. With two men out Drysdale got his base on balls. Fitch hit between centre and left. Both fielders ran for the ball and collided, and before the ball could be returned to the diamond Drysdale had scored.

In this inning, with two men out, Harvard made four runs. Whittemore hit safely and went to third on Hayes's single. The latter stole second. Scannell hit to short, who fumbled. Whittemore scored and Hayes reached third. Wrenn reached first on an error by Bradley, and Hayes scored. Rand's single then brought in two more runs.

Williams failed to reach first in the eighth, while a double by Paine and a single by Whittemore brought in the only earned run of the game for Harvard.

Williams scored once more in the ninth. With one man out Goodrich got his base on balls and scored on Bradley's two-bagger. The next two men were easy, and the game was over.

Harvard '98, 7; Cambridge H. and L., 6.Yesterday the freshmen defeated the Cambridge High and Latin School by a score of 7 to 8. The game was close but loosely played. The freshmen put up a listless game with little team play, showing the urgent need of systematic coaching. The feature of the game was the batting of Lockman for Cambridge. Hayes played shortstop and Haskell second. Holt pitched. The only place not definitely settled seems to be first base, for which Walker and Hall are about equal.
