HARVARD VS. YALE.

The first game in the Harvard-Yale baseball series will be played on Holmes Field at half-past three o'clock this afternoon. Neither team will play with its full strength, but the contest promises to be a close one. Neither Whittemore nor Dean are in condition to play, and McVey will be put at shortstop. Hayes has been placed in the batting list, but is suffering from ivy poison, and there seems to be little chance that he will be able to play. Burgess will probably take his place unless Whittemore's ankle is improved sufficiently to allow his playing in the outfield.

Contrary to reports received from New Haven, Carter will at least for a time occupy the box for Yale. If he proves weak he will be replaced by Trudeau.

It is difficult to make any prediction as to the result of the game. If the Harvard team plays at its best, its chances are not unfavorable, though its record through the season has been much worse than Yale's.

Following is the batting order of the two teams for the game today.
