BASE-BALL.

The nine played the second championship game at Amherst yesterday, and again met with defeat. The game opened with Harvard at the bat. Baker reached first base on called balls, but was caught napping and was thrown out by Harris. Nichols made a hit but was thrown out at second. Smith went out on a fly to Hamlin. Amherst scored two runs in the first inning on hits by Taylor, Hunt and Hamlin, and errors of E. H. Nichols and Allen. Allen made a hit on the second inning, but was left on second. In the second inning Amherst retired in one two three order. Beaman made a hit in the third inning, went to second on a passed ball, and scored on Baker's two bagger. Amherst added another run to their score in the third inning, on Stewart's single and Kimball's three bagger. In the next six innings Harvard was retired in one two three order, no hits being made after the third inning. Amherst made six hits in the fourth inning and secured five runs, the score standing eight to one. In the fifth inning Allen and Nichols changed places, which proved to be a good move, as Amherst made but two hits in the last five innings and were unable to score another run, Allen and Nichols playing without error. Our nine played a good fielding game but was very weak at the bat. Harris pitched well and was well supported by Hunt. Beaman played a steady game at third. Following is the score :
