HARVARD '80 versus YALE '80.

OUR Freshmen played the Yale Freshmen a game of Base-Ball on Saturday last. The weather was most favorable, and the number of spectators was quite large. Game was called about three o'clock, our men going first to the bat. They succeeded in obtaining one run, and managed to give their opponents a whitewash. In the second inning Harvard scored 2, Yale again retiring without a run. During the next three innings neither side scored; and up to this point the game was remarkably well played, and the errors were few. In the sixth inning our Freshmen made four runs, and the Yale men made three. There were several very bad plays on both sides, over throws in particular. In the seventh inning Fessenden made a beautiful hit out to right field, and sent the ball far beyond the ropes. He brought two men home and reached third himself. At this point the Yale Captain interposed. He objected to Fessenden getting three bases on a ball that went outside the ropes and was lost. Our Captain said that as no agreement had been made about that part of the field, his man was entitled to as many bases as he could get. The Yale men refused to play the game out, and after a quarter of an hour's parley our Captain agreed, for the sake of continuing the game, to send Fessenden back to second, and count one run only. Play was then resumed. Nothing more worthy of notice occurred, except in the last inning Duncklee caught a hot ball, for which he was obliged to run nearly to second; his catch was much applauded.

The game ended in favor of our Freshmen by a score of 8 to 7. Umpire, Mr. B. F. Harding, '78.
