BASE-BALL.

AN attendance of 2,500 persons witnessed Yale win a second victory from Harvard on Saturday last. A lack of confidence seemed to pervade the Nine, probably owing to the forced absence of Tyng. Yale batted heavily, earning seven runs; Downer and Brown earning clean home-runs, and Downer making another home-run on what should have been a single base-hit, the ball bounding sideways and thus passing Fessenden. Howe played pluckily behind the bat, and caught Ernst's pitching remarkably well for a first attempt. Thayer, Wright, Alger, Latham, and Holden played well in the field. Carter was the only man on the Yale Nine who failed to get in a base-hit; the excellence of his pitching, however, fully atoned for his poor success at the bat. Hutchison made a good stop and caught a hot liner. Clark caught a difficult fly. Parker and Downer played their positions without error.
