...nine received its third successive defeat yesterday afternoon on Holmes Field at the hands of the Newton Athletic Association. The score was nine to five. The Harvard nine could get but four hits off Jack Highlands and three of these were made in the first two innings. There were several changes in the make-up of the nine.
