Harvard in Ninth Yesterday.
BisonS Drubbed by Tai|enders Of East
ern League Yesterday.

With two runs up for Brown and none
for Harvard, Home Run" Frantz was
called TO the front and under the leader
snir OF the lHest cheer leader Harvard over
had. McCarty made the Crimson support
ers rise To their feet and whoop like wild
Indians when he started off the eighth
with u lhEee-hagger which was followed
by four runs. that gave Harvard the game
four 10 two For a time il looked as IL
Brown would carry OF the second OF the
two games with the Crimson, but some
real ball playing and good luck combined
to give the Harvard nine a win. Brown
got man on second i'm the third and Har-
ward one IN the sixth. but at no other
time until the fatal eighth did a man on
either side see the second bag.
I'm the eighth Brown opened the inning
with a hit by Dickinson and when Elrod
came up he stepped In front OF the ball
ard was put out OF the game with bad
blow in the left temple Thomas took his
place on the next play Coburn let the
ball pass him on the return throw, and
Dickinson scored. Sweeney then came up
and knocked a fast one. which Coburn
stopped. but was not able 10 handle in
time. and threw IL low 10 Randall, who
missed II. letting Thomas in with Brown =
second run. The next three men went out
easily and then Harvard's turn came.
IL was the weak end Of the batting or
der but like all the rallies OF the Harvard
team this year II was the bottom of the
list that did n. McCarty came up and
smashed out pretty three bagger 10 left
centre. Big Paul Coburn was the next
man up and hit IL out for clean single
scoring Mccarthy. The stands became a
bunch OF wild men then. and Randall was
urged TO hit II out The best he could do

lie Leonard. making three men on bases
when Matthews came to the plate.
A sure hit from Matthews was expected
but he only got grounder to Hoye. who
tried to shut Coburn off at the plate but
hit him I'm the back and Coburn crossed
the plate with the tieing run. With three
men on bases still Stephenson knocked a
pop fly to Hamilton, on which Randall
brought in the winning run. Dexter went
out, Dickinson TO Thomas. but Leonard
had scored before Thomas thought he had
started In the ninth Brown went out in
one. two three order. after Paine had
raped out a three-bagger TO left centre
lie was called out. however. as he had
failed to touch first while on the circuit
The fielding OF the Harvard nine was ex-
cellent and one stop OF Matthews i'm the
fourth spoiled a nice clean hit for Tiff
Randall, at first. made a misplay when a
low foul was knocked in his direction. In
stead OF going for II he left IL to stephen
son, and Stephenson missed II.
For Brown. Tiff pitched a good game
lie was touched for six hits. but one OF
them was = scratch. He used good
Judgment i'm his choice Of balls, and was
ioyaly cheered by band Of Brown root
ers who were in the stand behind the
plate. Gen. Buxton OF the Harvard law
school led the Brunonians, and they
cheered for their team until the last ball
was thrown and Hamilton went out on

The Harvard team appeared on the field

work OF the team. The score.
