Yesterday at three o'clock the freshman nine, with a few other freshmen, left Harvard Square for New Haven. A few changes have been made since the first game with Yale, and they ought to prove very beneficial. Dickinson has been put in to pitch, and if he can hold out nine innings will be by far the best man for the place. Mackie, who has taken Dickinson's place at first, has been unable to play with the nine until within the last few days. Notwithstanding his partial want of practice, he will play a strong game at first...
...Lovells made desperate efforts to score. Lyons got to first on Cook's wild throw of his grounder, and tried to get second; but Frothingham ran in behind first, fielded the ball prettily to Hovey, and Lyons was out.

Cook also made two errors in this inning, one of them very excusable. This unfortunate inning excepted, Harvard played the errorless game which the college has come to look for. Hovey especially distinguished himself. He and Bates, aided by Dickinson, made...
