Harvard will play Carlisle has been beaten by Yale 9 to 5, and by Brown 4 to 0. Judging by the playing of Carlisle in these games Harvard should find it difficult to win unless there is a great improvement in batting. The batting orders: Harvard. Carlisle. Wendell, l.f. l.f., Beaver. Clark, 3b. 1b., Miller. Reid, c. 2b.m Johnson. Frantz, 1b. c.f., Bender. Stillman, c.f. p. or r.f., Pratt. Devens, r.f. 3b., Rogers. Fincke, 2b. p. or r.f., Leroy.
