Saturday afternoon the Freshman nine defeated the English High School nine of Boston by a score of 20 to 9 on Jarvis field. The air was cold and raw and the game was uninteresting throughout.

Sabine pitched a very good game, barring the bases on balls which he gave. Vila and Piper also fielded well, and McLeod and Piper did the best batting. The feature...

They were speedily put out however, after gaining three runs. In '90's first innings, two hits and two errors with a base on balls resulted in five runs, none earned.
