The University baseball team will play it second game with Dartmouth on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The batting order for the University team will be the same as on Wednesday, and Hicks will again be in the box, opposing Captain Glaze of Dartmouth, as in the first game. Hicks has been developing rapidly of late, and the last games he has pitched have been exceptionally good. He held Brown to three hits in the first game and four in the second, and proved that he can be relied on at critical moments.
In the first game with Dartmouth, which was lost, 6 to 4, the University team outbatted and outfielded their opponents, but the hits were not so well bunched, as all but one of Dartmo h's came in one inning. The Harvard batters secured seven hits off Glaze and at all times hit the ball hard. Since that game Harvard has shown considerable improvement, while Dartmouth's progress has not been so noticeable. They have been defeated by Amherst, 6 to 0, but in a succeeding game reversed the outcome by the score of 4 to 3. The last outside game resulted in a victory for Holy Cross, 3 to 0, in five innings.
Yesterday afternoon the practice of the University team was, on the whole, of a high order, especially the batting and base running. One of the most clever pieces of work of the season came when a runner scored from second on Simons's bunt down the first base line; and on the same play, Lanigan, coming all the way from first, was barely put out on a close play at the plate.
