Yesterday afternoon, on Soldiers Field, the Freshman baseball nine defeated the Wrocester Academy team by the score of 5 to 4. Though the score was close, at times the play was very ragged and the whole work of the Freshman nine loose. The playing of the infield especially was very poor. The batting on both teams was very weak and the baserunning slow. For the Freshmen, Edmunds and Farrington played the best; and for Worcester, Barker and Hersey. In the second inning, on a hit by Barker, Foster threw to Farrington, who made a double play at first, retiring the Worcester nine in good form. The score:

NINETEEN HUNDRED.
