The victory of the Harvard Freshman nine in the game on Holmes Feld last Saturday afternoon against the Pennsylvania freshman nine by the score of 7 to 5 was due chiefly to the very effective pitching of Mains. He struck out 13 men and kept the hits scattered so that Harvard's nine errors were not so costly as the six made by the Pennsylvania freshmen.

The Harvard Freshmen did not play so well as usual, Thompson seemed to have an off day, Galbraith was weak while Lynch and Davis showed poor judgment. At the bat, however, the Harvard men were far superior to their opponents. Every man on the nine, with one exception, hit safely at least once; Thompson got two singles, McCall three singles, and Lynch two singles and a three-bagger.

For Pennsylvania, on the other hand, most of the hitting was done by Lucas, who made three singles and a three-bagger. Robinson made three singles; Dicks one double and Cantlin a single.

The misjudgment of Wade in centre field cost Pennsylvania several runs, Cantlin, who took his place played a very lively game and was a great improvement. Thatcher, who pitched for the Pennsylvania nine, did some very good work, but had poor support at critical times.

The game lacked excitement, except in the sixth, when Pennsylvania went in with the score 7 to 4 against them. Lucas got a hit and came straight home on errors by McCall and Galbraith. Then Mains struck out Watt. Higgins and Robinson got their bases safely, and were on third and second respectively, owing to errors by Thompson and Litchfield. There was but one out, so a single would tie the score. Mains settled down and struck out the next two men. This ended both the scoring and the sharp playing.

The score:

HARVARD '99.
