BEATEN BY HOLY CROSS.

Harvard was beaten by Holy Cross yesterday afternoon in Worcester by the score of 3 to 2, chiefly through inability to hit at critical times, combined with stupid base running. Two substitutes, Lynch and Davis were played, but Paine was in the box and the team could not have been much strengthened. Davis held Paine well, though he allowed three stolen bases, and Lynch made a difficult catch.

Linnehan's strong pitching for the home team was the most prominent feature of the game. He struck out eleven men, gave only one base on balls, and kept his head with men on bases.

Harvard secured eight hits, but they were too much scattered to be useful. Holy Cross, with a total of nine hits, was also unable to bunch them. One of their runs was due to errors of Harvard's infield.

For Harvard, Stevenson and Chandler led in batting with two hits each, and Haughton brought in a run with a good drive to left field.
