PROVIDENCE NINE TO FACE CRIMSON

The Harvard baseball team will play its nineteenth game of the season this afternoon when it meets Providence College on Soldiers Field.

The invading nine has played erratically this spring and it is difficult to forecast just how much opposition they will offer the Crimson players today. The visitors have a strong pitching staff and if they can play in top form, they can put up a stubborn resistance. The chief weakness of the Providence aggregation is at bat.

The Dominicans come to Soldiers Field fresh from a victory over Boston University on Tuesday. In this game, they exhibited nearly flawless work in the field to maintain their high fielding average of their last few encounters.

Barbee Will Pitch

J. N. Barbee '28 will start on the mound for the Harvard nine and should have little trouble in holding the Providence batsmen well within control. The hurling burden for the doubleheader on Saturday, when the Crimson players takes on an Alumni team and the Waseda nine from Japan, will fall, therefore, probably on Cutts, Howard, or Ketcham.
