The 1919 baseball team suffered an unexpectedly heavy setback at the hands of Phillips-Exeter Academy, on Soldiers Field, last Saturday afternoon, in a game which resulted in a score of 17 to 2 in favor of the visitors.
In the first inning an error on a pop fly was responsible for Exeter's one run during the inning. The Freshmen went completely to pieces in the second inning, and Exeter tallied six times on a combination of five hits, and a wild pitch. Four runs in the third practically determined the final outcome, six more runs bringing the total to 17.
The following is the summary: Batteries--Exeter: De Vitalis and White; Harvard 1919: Felton, Leighton and Fuller. Umpire--A. J. Woodlock. The second baseball team was defeated by Phillips-Andover Academy at Andover last Saturday afternoon, by the score of 5 to 2. Wilson, Andover's pitcher, although inclined to be a bit wild at times, pitched very effective ball, holding his opponents to five hits and striking out 10 men. Andover's stick-work totalled 13 hits.
