The University baseball team will play Amherst on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. McClure will pitch for Amherst; and both Hicks and Ernst are expected to be in the box for Harvard, Hicks starting the game. Potter will be back at second base after an absence of over a week.
Amherst started the season with a long series of games in the South, but has played only a few of Harvard's opponents. Virginia was twice defeated, 10 to 0 and 16 to 3. Holy Cross has been defeated 9 to 1, Tufts 8 to 0, and Cornell 4 to 0; but Brown won an 11 to 0 game from Amherst and Trinity won 1 to 0. Amherst has a very good pitcher in McClure, and all of the players except Partenheimer and Bryan are veterans of last season. Last year Harvard won from Amherst, 3 to 1, but was shut out, 3 to 0, in 1908.
The batting order of the University team has again been changed with a view to greater effectiveness, Lanigan resuming his place at the top of the list and Babson coming into third place.
