BASE-BALL.

AFTER four ineffectual attempts to secure a game, the Nine finally succeeded in obtaining a fair day on Saturday last, and were badly defeated by the New Bedfords. Owing to injuries received in practice, Winsor was disabled, and Delano, who replaced him behind the bat, was unable to face-Folsom's swift delivery. Nunn played a plucky uphill game in the field, and Howe made three fine base-hits, but the rest of the batting was poor. The following is the score:-

The game Monday was an improvement on Saturday's game, the men having in a great part recovered from the nervousness consequent upon their first experience with a professional nine. Nunn's fine base running and catching, Olmstead's good work at first base, and Cohen's stop of a hot liner, were the noticeable features of Harvard's game. It is sufficient to say of Tyng that he played as well as ever, and to see him once more in the field made us long for the Nine of '78. The following is the score:-

The first game of the Beacon series for the silver ball was played before an enthusiastic audience, and resulted in a great surprise to the Beacons as well as the College. The fielding on the Harvard side was brilliant, Coolidge and Nunn making fine fly-catches, and Olmstead accepting fourteen chances on first base without an error. Knowles' delivery proved very annoying to the Beacons, and Stevens gave him excellent support behind the bat. With a little practice these two men will form a strong addition to the Nine, if not for this year surely for subsequent ones. Lloyd batted finely for the Beacons, and Campbell in the field made a long running fly-catch. The following is the score:-
