For the first time in the history of baseball Cornell defeated Harvard last Saturday at Ithaca by a score of 8-5.
The score was tied, four to four, in the eighth inning when Cornell went to bat and forced Harvard for four runs. In the ninth the best that the 'Varsity could do was to score once.
Inability to bunch hits was the cause of Harvard's defeat. In the fifth and eighth innings with men on bases, hits would have brought in runs, but Bole and and Blair both proved most effective at such critical times.
The score:
CORNELL.
