Harvard, 30; Bowdoin, 0.

The first game of the season on Holmes Field was played yesterday and resulted in an overwhelming victory for the home team. The game was the greatest farce ever seen on Holmes. The visitors were lamentably weak both in the field and at the bat. Of their four hits, two were direct gifts by the Harvard pitcher. They could hit neither swift nor slow balls. Such opponents as these do far more injury than good to the nine. A much better team could have been chosen from our own men than that which represented Bowdoin yesterday. It is conducive to careless base running, poor fielding and slack play generally. It is enough to spoil any pitcher to tell him to "let them hit it" or to "pitch easy." We trust that no more nines of this description will play on Holmes this season. The game was called at the sixth inning on account of the lateness of the hour. The score:
