The University baseball team will play Cornell this afternoon at 4 o'clock on Soldiers Field, in the last regular game before the team leaves for Philadelphia on Friday.
Last year Harvard defeated Cornell in an uninteresting game, by the score of 11 to 1. This spring, however, Cornell has a strong team, having defeated Princeton on May 2 by the score of 10 to 3 through superior batting and pitching. It seems probable, therefore, that today's game will be harder than any the team has played this season. With Clarkson in the box, supported by all of the regular players, a close and interesting game is expected.
During the last week, the team's batting has shown some improvement, and the base-running has developed materially. Nevertheless, in neither department has entire satisfaction been given, while the bunting of the whole squad has been throughout extremely weak. The fielding, with some exceptions, has retained its average excellence. The throwing has steadied down considerably, but the plays have been occasionally marred by nervousness in handling infield ground balls.
The batting orders: The baseball practice yesterday comprised the usual batting and fielding work. The men were instructed in the same points of batting and bunting in which coach Wendell has been endeavoring to improve their work throughout the spring. Although not entirely satisfactory, the fielding practice showed considerable life, and was at times sharp and accurate.
