NINE SHUT OUT BY BROWN.

The University nine was shut out by Brown at Providence yesterday, by the score of 6 to 0. Lynch, the Brown pitcher, allowed only three scattered hits and struck out twelve men; receiving meanwhile, errorless support in the field. Coburn also pitched very creditably with eleven strike-outs and only four hits against him; but his effective work in the box proved unavailing, since he himself made an error which let in three runs, and every other man in the infield made one or more errors, all of which were very costly. Such deplorable fielding, however, was only in part responsible for the defeat; for at the bat, the team showed a weakness which has been unparalleled this year, making only two clean singles and a scratch hit, and knocking only one fly to the outfield. No man on the team seemed able to master Lynch in the least, only two failing to strike out one or more times. R. Kernan's absence behind the bat was keenly felt, for Stephenson was very uncertain in stopping wild pitches, and once allowed a stolen base out of sheer inattention.

Brown took the lead from the start, scoring three runs in the second inning, when Abbott singled, Gray made a bunt hit, and Welch knocked a grounder, which was thrown wild by Coburn, allowing all three men to cross the plate. Pattee made another run in the next inning on a three-base hit and the muff of a third strike by Stephenson. In the fourth inning, Gray received a base on balls, reached second on a sacrifice hit, third on a passed ball, and came home on an error by Matthews. Lynch opened the eighth inning by getting to base on an error by Randall. Abbott, the next man up, made a three-base hit, but Lynch failed to touch third base, and was declared out. Later, Abbott scored on an outfield fly by Gray. The score: HARVARD.   a.b.  r.  b.h.  p.o.  a.  e.
