...their game with Yale on Saturday Harvard disappointed a crowd of 3,500 people by making the worst exhibition of ball playing that we have ever seen from a university nine. The game opened at 3 P. M. with Yale at the bat. They soon retired in order, the last two men striking out. For Harvard, after Coolidge went out, Baker and Phillips made hits, LeMoyne flied out to Brigham, and Baker scored. Tilden made another hit sending Phillips to second. They went to second and third respectively on Booth's muff of Souther's throw, but Allen fouled...
AMHERST 9, HARVARD 8.Notwithstanding the rain, a fair sized audience assembled yesterday afternoon to see our nine defeated by Amherst.

Yale batted quite heavily, but in the field they failed to show the sharpness and accuracy of last year's nine. On the whoie, it looks as if Harvard could look forward to a very close contest...
