BASE-BALL.

The first game in the class series resulted in an easy victory for '84 over '83. The latter nine showed very clearly lack of practice, most of the men not having played to any extent since their freshman year. '84 excelled both at the bat and in the field, Baker and Hamlin playing particularly well, while Bean pitched very effectively. For '83 Nichols, Ranney and Edwards did the best work, the last-mentioned player making a fine catch of a difficult ball, and putting a man out at third. The batting, on the whole, was weak, although Baker and Nichols each made a two-base hit. The score was '83, 3; '84, 6.
