BASE-BALL.

ON Saturday the Nine won the first victory in the series for the College championship, defeating Dartmouth by a score of 5 to 2. The Dartmouth men were extremely hospitable in their entertainment and impartial in applause. Rundlett pitched with excellent effect, and was well supported by Cram behind the bat. Thayer played finely at second base, and made several brilliant fly-catches. Winsor pitched well, and Nunn made some fine stops; Coolidge, however, carried off the fielding honors for Harvard by putting out three men and assisting six times, including two double plays. The Dartmouth Nine is an extremely strong organization, and only needs a little practice to develop into first-class playing form. W. A. Howe led at the bat, and Cram caught some hot foul tips. The following is the score:-

Umpire: Mr. E. F. Hall.

The Harvard vs. Boston game, on Tuesday, was called at the end of the third innings on account of rain, the score standing 4 to 1. The exhibition, although not a very brilliant one, still tended to show that Winsor with constant practice may develop into a pitcher.
