Harvard defeated Amherst at Amherst yesterday afternoon by a score of 6 to 0. The Harvard nine put up its best game of the season, showing unusual dash and self-confidence, and playing an errorless game in the field.

A great deal of credit for the good showing belongs to Fitz, who pitched remarkably well. He struck out ten men and allowed only six scattered hits. With men on bases he always managed to rise to the emergency. Another feature of the game was Scannell's batting. Out of four times at the bat he made three hits, one a double.

For the first five innings Harvard was unable to do much with Johnston's pitching, and showed the old inability to bunch hits. In the sixth, however, singles by Haughton, Lynch and Scannell filled the bases, and poor fielding judgment let in two runs. Harvard scored an earned run in the seventh on hits by Haughton and Scannell, and added three more in the ninth on hits by Lynch and Stevenson, a base on balls, and some loose fielding.

Harvard's base running showed throughout the game great improvement over the work of the past weeks.

The score:

HARVARD.
