The Freshman baseball team will play the Phillips Andover team at Andover this afternoon. This is expected to be one of the hardest games of the season, and will be the first opportunity to test the real strength of the team. The fielding has improved steadily during the past week, but the throwing is unsatisfactory. The batting is still weak, the men having tendency to hit the ball too high. Improvement has been shown in the base-running, so that now carelessness on bases and recklessness in taking chances is almost entirely corrected. The Andover team this year is not up to its usual high standard.

The batting orders of the two teams follows: HARVARD 1906.  ANDOVER. Bradbury, s.s.  c., R. C. Brown L. Grant, 3b.  p., Baker, R. W.
