The University baseball team will play its second game with Holy Cross on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 2 o'clock. In the first game, played at Worcester on May 6, Holy Cross won by a score of 6 to 1, Harvard's defeat being largely due to erratic fielding, stupid base-running and inability to hit at critical times. Since then Holy Cross has been beaten twice by Yale 4 to 3 and 5 to 4, by Georgetown 6 to 1 and by Fordham 7 to 4; but has defeated Dartmouth 6 to 1, Amherst 7 to 5, Brown 12 to 1 and Williams 12 to 3. Spring will pitch today instead of O'Rourke,-who allowed Harvard only four hits in the last game.
Since the first game with Holy Cross the University team has shown considerable improvement in batting and base-running and has won all but one of the ten intervening games. The make-up of the team will be the same as that which defeated Columbia on Wednesday.
The batting orders follow:
