The University baseball team won easily from Bowdoin on Saturday by the score of 14 to 0. The hitting still showed the great improvement that has been made since the Williams game, and the fielding was on the whole satisfactory. In base-running alone did the nine seem to be weak. Carelessness on the part of the coaches and the base-runners cost directly at least two runs, and all the runners seemed to lack their usual speed.

Stillman pitched a steady game and had almost perfect control. Only two Bowdoin men reached second base, and of the four scattered hits made by Bowdoin, two would have been cut off by faster fielding. Stillman struck out fifteen men and gave but two bases on balls. Oakes, the Bowdoin pitcher, was not so effective. Thirteen hits, with a total of twenty-one bases, were made from him, most of them well bunched. Frantz made four of these hits,--two singles, a two-base hit and a home run, all of which brought in runs. Stillman, Murphy and Wendell made two hits apiece.

Putnam was tried at centre field yesterday. He had no chances in the field, but he did well at the bat, making one sacrifice hit and a timely single. An inexcusable misunderstanding between him and the coacher, however, led to his being caught off first base in the third inning be a simple trick. Murphy again played well at second base, but he made the only fielding error for the team by poor handling of Never's grounder in the third. The infield played well other-wise, expect for slow handling of Blanchard's scratch hit between third and short in the second inning.

Of the Bowdoin team, Nevers alone played without an error. The whole infield played a fast game at times, but went to pieces with men on bases. Coffin made a brilliant catch of Clark's long fly to deep left field, but expect for that the outfielders were slow, especially in handling hits.

St. Mark's, 7; Freshmen, 5.

The Freshman nine was defeated by St. Mark's last Saturday at Southboro, by the score of 7 to 5. Although Alexander did not pitch in his usual good form, the defeat was more the result of ragged playing by the infield and ineffectual batting by the whole team.
