The Freshman nine defeated the Yale freshmen at New Haven on Saturday by the score of 4 to 2. The teams were remarkably even and it was only through the brilliant work of the battery that Harvard won.

Clarkson pitched a strong, consistent game, striking out thirteen men and allowing only three hits. J. D. Clark threw to bases well and fielded his position in good style. The Harvard infield did surprisingly good work and held its own with the strong Yale infield. The outfield, however, was weak, and, with the exception of Van Amringe, was outplayed by Yale. Story and Van Amringe did the best batting, and the whole team showed an improvement in this respect.
