LOOSE BALL GAME TAKEN BY ROXBURY LATIN CLOUTERS

Yesterday afternoon on the class baseball diamond the Roxbury Latin nine took the measure of a team chosen from the combined class outfits by a 14 to 8 count. The game was a loosely played affair with both teams showing a lack of practice which the recent cold weather has enforced.

The team which started for Harvard played well as long as it remained in the game, but in the fourth inning, M. A. Cheek '26, coach of the Class teams, substituted an entire new outfit and the play commenced to favor the visitors. A large part of the Roxbury score came in the late innings as a result of the wildness of the class team hurlers. With three men on base, they seemed unable to preserve any control over the ball and in this way allowed several unearned runs to trickle across the plate.
