BROWN NINE MAKES IT TWO IN A ROW

The University nine wound up its most disastrous week of the season Saturday by losing to Brown at Providence for the second time in two days. Friday Hammond saved a shut-out by a clean steal of home; Saturday no Harvard men got even as far as third base, Consequently Brown was a victor, 1 to 0.

Duggan, Brown's star left-hander gave the Crimson three hits, one more than he had granted Yale three days before, and he fanned 11 men. Every Harvard player except Jenkins and Todd struck out at least once. The University players are decidedly in a bad batting slump. Townsend held them to five hits a week ago at Princeton, Neubauer gave four Friday, and Duggan's three Saturday make the Crimson average four hits a game--and four hits seldom win a ball game. They have not won any of the last three.

Campbell alone seems inaffected by the general slump. He has made five of Harvard's twelve hits in the last three games. Every other batting mark has fallen and the team's average has dropped 14 points.

Though the batting has been poor, the pitching has been consistently good, and the fielding equally so with the exception of an erratic spasm Friday. Brown's work in the box Saturday was by far his best of the season. Wildness has held him back all year, but his control against the Brunonians was excellent. He walked but two men, and would have pitched a shut-out except for three bunched singles in the first inning.
