Lafayette administered the last defeat of the season at Easton, May 26th. State did not seem to be able to connect with Howard’s curves and consequently lost the game. The fielding of both teams was fine. Wood at third played a good game. The score : LAFAYETTE.

Two years ago the Indians came to State to play the Commencement game and returned with a scalp at their belts; this year they left their own here as a trophy. The game, an exceedingly interesting one, was played before about one thousand spectators, the most of the time in the rain. Because of the serious illness of Dr. Pond the game was played on the campus below Prof. Gill’s residence. The rough ground and slippery ball doubled the error list. State came first to the bat and put four men over the plate before the side was retired. The Indians in their turn did not get a. man to first. In the second and third innings neither scored. In the fourth Pearce, the Indians’ big first baseman made a nice two bagger, went to third on a light hit by Hudson and came home on an error. In their half of the eighth the visitors added two to their score by hard bat- EAEAYETTE 9. STATE. 3.
