Baseball.

The 'varsity nine was treated to considerable of a surprise in yesterday's game at Exeter. The home team put up a strong game; the work of Powers, Exeter's catcher, whom Andover protested was particularly brilliant. Repeatedly he caught men off bases by his quick, accurate throwing. At one time the bases were full with none out. Hapgood allowed himself to be caught napping off first and Trafford was equally slow in being thrown out between third and home and then the batter went out and Harvard failed to score. Harvard put in a substitute team. Corbett caught and Whittemore played short stop. The batting was weak and the playing as a whole decidedly uncreditable. Exeter's run ought not to have been made. High lands, as in Saturday's game, threw a man out at first when he could easily have caught a runner at third. The final score was 2 to 1.

SECOND NINE 8; CAMBRIDGE A. C. 8.The game between the C. A. C. and the Second Nine yesterday was interesting only as a criterion of what different men will be able to do next year.

Moore, who will next year enter college, pitched for C. A. C. and did remarkably well. He allowed no earned runs, and, in the face of poor support, held down the Harvard men to four hits. Besides this, he struck out nine men. The nine behind him did not play very well, but Dunlap and Clarkson handled themselves like ball players. For Harvard, no one could hit Moore safely except Hayes. He made a hit every time he came to the bat. In the field the nine did better, and Winslow's playing at third was especially good. The game was called in the ninth with the score, eight all. Below is given the score by innings:

Innings, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Second nine, 3 0 0 1 1 0 2 0 1 8

C. A. C., 0 0 2 1 0 3 0 2 0 8
