HARVARD, 3; BOWDOIN, 0

The University baseball nine defeated Bowdoin yesterday afternoon in an uninteresting and discouraging game by the score of 3 to 0.

From beginning to end the game was a pitchers' battle between Coburn and Cox, in which Coburn had the advantage. He allowed not a single hit, struck out fourteen men, and gave only two bases on balls. On the other hand, Cox allowed seven hits, not more than two of which, however, were in the same inning, gave four bases on balls, and hit three men. In the field both teams, particularly Bowdoin, seemed listless, and at bat the work of both was pitifully weak. The University team was utterly unable to bunch the few hits it managed to make, and in the six innings in which more than three men came to bat, one or more men was left on bases every time the team was retired.

Stephenson's unsteadiness behind the bat was not costly, owing to Coburn's excellent work in keeping the bases empty. The best playing on the University team was done by Kernan, who accepted six chances errorlessly, and made two hits. For Bowdoin, Cox did the best work. Besides his excellent pitching, he accepted seven chances in the field and was the only man on his team not to strike out.

The first run was scored in the first inning when with two men out, Fischel hit to right field, went to third on Piper's error in handling the ball, and and stole home. In the fourth inning Randall was given his base, went to third on Carr's hit and stole home. In the sixth, Matthews made a three-base hit and scored on Carr's hit.
