A plucky Brown outfit, famous for its pitchers, but considerably weakened by recent injuries, faces an uncertain Harvard varsity here at 4 o'clock today, in the continuation of a 64 years baseball rivalry. Harvard is running into a hard stretch of its schedule, and is suffering from a disorganization brought about by the Holy Cross batsmen in an exciting scoring surge in the ninth inning of Saturday's fatal clash in Worcester.
