HARVARD, 9; PENNSYLVANIA, 0.

University Nine Shows Marked improvement in Fielding and Batting.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University nine decisively defeated the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday, in the second and final game of the series, by a score of 9 to 0. The Harvard team completely outplayed their opponents. Clarkson was in the best form, struck out thirteen men, and allowed but two hits. His splendid work may be seen in the fact that only three Pennsylvania men besides the necessary twenty-seven, went to bat during the entire game. This effective pitching, moreover, was supported by almost perfect play in the field. The only error was made b Matthews in the ninth inning on a very difficult chance. Otherwise, all the men played without a flaw, and showed both the speed and accuracy which has been of late so largely wanting. The most encouraging feature of the game, however, was the batting, which was more consistent and more timely than in any previous game. Against a pitcher of considerably more than average ability, the nine aggregated thirteen hits, only five men striking out, in this part of the play, Matthews and Coolidge led the team with three safe hits apiece.

Barring Clarkson's fine work in the box, the best individual showing was made by Quigley, who played behind the bat in R. P. Kernan's temporary absence on account of a strained leg. Besides catching excellently, he succeeded in throwing out three men at second, and made one brilliant catch of a foul fly in the ninth inning. His batting, too, showed great improvement. Carr made a bad misjudgment of a foul fly near the plate, but otherwise fielded his position cleanly. Stephenson made two good catches in right field, showing great improvement over his clumsiness in the Princeton and Holy Cross games.

Two timely base-hits by Quigley and Carr, together with a base on balls and several errors by the Pennsylvania players enabled Harvard to score her first three runs in the second inning. H. Kernan got to base in the fifth inning on a fielder's choice, reached second on a hit by Carr, stole third and scored, on an overthrow by Cariss in a try to catch Carr at second. Later Carr scored on a single by Coolidge, who tallied on a base hit by Randall and an error by Howes. With two men out in the seventh inning, Quigley and Coolidge hit safely, and Randall knocked a swift infield ball which was fumbled by Swain, allowing Quigley to cross the plate and Coolidge to reach third. Stephenson then singled, bringing in Coolidge, and Randall, who had stolen second.
