The University baseball team will be matched against Amherst at Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Mahan, it is expected, will pitch against Captain Goodridge of Amherst. The latter has not yet twirled a full game, for Taber, a sophomore, has hitherto started each of Amherst's three contests. The latter will be kept ready to relieve Goodridge. He held Wesleyan well, but in the game with Massachusetts Agricultural College he was hit freely.

Amherst has won only one of the three regular games the team has played this season, that against Wesleyan, by a score of 8 to 3. Bowdoin was victorious in the opening game, 2 to 1. Since the disastrous conflict with the Aggies, lost 10 to 2, the team has been practicing in smooth form. It will be materially assisted by the return of Ashley, who will play in right field.

There is a fair sprinkling in the team of players from last year's organization which lost to the University, 6 to 0.
