The University baseball team lost a six-inning game to the Freshman nine yesterday afternoon by the score of 4 to 3. It was an off day for the first team in every department of the game, and they made seven errors in the six slow innings--more than they have made in the last three games taken together. They secured only one clean hit from Hicks, who pitched for the Freshmen. Saturday's strenuous game took all the life out of the men, and they were content to allow the Freshmen to gain a big lead which they were unable to overcome. Captain Dexter, Leonard, and Howe were excused from practice and given a complete rest.

Slater was in the box for the University team, but was not as effective as usual. He gave three bases on balls and allowed three hits. He was very unsteady and pitched too hurriedly. Dana took Dexter's place in left field, Waters going to right, while Pritchett was on third in Leonard's absence. On the bases the University team took big chances, but they were caught each time by clever throwing.
