BASE BALL.

THIS was the first game played by the new

Nine, and its result gives us hope that it will be as good as the old one, notwithstanding the loss of such valuable men as White, Eustis, Estabrooks, and Annan. Captain Tyler has done exceedingly well to produce so good a Nine in so short a time and out of material so untried. Bettens was much praised for his catching. The following is the score:-

Harvard '76 vs. Harvard '77, Jarvis Field, Oct. 18.

The first game between these two Nines, played on the preceding Saturday, resulted in an unexpected victory of 24 to 14, for '77. The game last Saturday resulted in another Freshman victory of 16 to 4. The Freshmen naturally feel quite proud of their Nine, which certainly contains some very good material, and, with proper training, may distinguish itself next summer. We give the score of the last game: -
