The freshman and the Browne and Nichols teams played a long and dull game on the common yesterday afternoon, which resulted in an overwhelming defeat for the preparatory school nine. The Harvard team played a very listless game and showed little snap. Minton pitched the greater part of the game and would have been more effective had he not given so many bases on balls. Corbett caught and was undoubtedly not in good practice. The outfield had nothing to do and so could make no errors. The team ran bases fairly well but their general play was very slow. The men were slow in taking their places and caused the game to drag. The nine had little difficulty in hitting the ball and batted well. The teams were as follows:

H. U. '94-Frothingham c.f., Corbett c., Quigley s.s., Lowell 2b., Clark 3b., Harding r.f., Clarke l.f., Homans 1b., Minton p.

Browne and Nichols-Hewes 3b., Whittemore s.s., Jackson l.f., Vaughan 1b., Smith p., Dibblee 2b., Benson c., Peabody c.f., Wentworth r.f.

The score by innings:

Innings, 1 2 3 4 5 6

H. U. '94, 2 2 5 6 0 5-20

B. and N., 2 0 1 0 0 0-3
