YALE ALUMNI WHEHEKLY THE NINE WINS TWICE. Best Game of the Season Played Against Brown. Yale’s play against Brown on Satur- day, in which she gave the Providence nine their first collegiate defeat of the season, stands out asa most encourag- ing incident in the athletic situation. It was good base ball on both sides and the best of it was that Yale won on her batting. The story of the game is told below. There is some chance, as the WEEKLY goes to press, that Goodwin, 1900, will soon be in good physical condition again and be able to rejoin the University squad and become one of Yale’s catch- ers. This would mean a strengthening of the nine, but the matter is unsettled yet. Mr. George B. Case, ’94, coached the nine Tuesday im preparation for the Lafayette game. The practice was sharp and hard. YALE, 9; AMHERST, 2. The University nine defeated Am- herst at Amherst, Wednesday, April 28, by the score of 9 to 2. The game was very one-sided from the begin- ning, Yale scoring a winning lead of three runs in the first inning. Yale’s batting was fairly strong, but her fielding was very uncertain. The game was lost by Amherst by some very bad errors made at critical points. Hamlin and Fincke led in the fielding for Yale, and Hamlin, Keator and Letton at the hat.

A very close game had been expected and Yale’s strongest team was in the field. No score was made in the first four innings and good base ball was played by both sides. The interest was keen during the entire game, and though Brown was never in the lead, yet no confidence of victory was al- lowed the home team until the last man had been retired. The teams were very evenly matched in the field, but at the bat Yale was much more suc- cessful. The work of the Yale team showed the effects of hard practice and careful coaching in the field. A very pretty play was made in the second inning. Gammons and Cook, of Brown, were on third and first bases respectively. The latter tried to steal second but Bartlett threw down to Hamlin, who attempted to catch him between first and second. While he saw them occupied in this play, Gammons thought he saw a chance to steal home, but Camp was watching him and threw to Bartlett just in time to put him out. This play eeernevee eee was executed with considerable confi- dence and very smoothly. The Yale men understood what they were about all the time. i The work of both pitchers was excel- lent. Greenway allowed only three hits and Fearey only four, and both showed excellent head work. The fielding of both men was also faultless. Fincke, Camp and Hamlin filled their positions well, all making brilliant plays and working carefully and confidently. The work of the outfield was flawless, ex- cept for a muff by Hazen of a rather difficult liner. His error was not costly, Bartlett proved an excellent back stop except on two occasions. He had one passed ball, which gave Brown a base, and muffed an easy throw home, al- lowing Lauder to score Brown’s second run. He seemed well able to hold both Greenway and Fearey, but has a dis- position to become nervous at critical moments. In batting, the Yale nine hit,hard and often safe, in spite of the fact that eleven men were struck out by Brady. Keator, Greenway and Fearey were the strongest in this line. The Yale Cap- tain’s record in this respect was flaw- less. He seemed able to hit just asi he wished to. Greenway drove to right center for a home run in the ninth in- ning, with one man on base, and clinched the victory. The weakest point in Yale’s work was in base running. Once the fault seemed to be in the coaching and at other times the run- ners took too many chances, when only one man wag out. In a closer game, this carelessness would have been more costly. Brown played a strong and steady fielding game but was not able to ob- tain safe hits at critical points in the game. They had several chances to score by the addition of batting, but the Yale pitchers and strong fielding prevented. In the field Phillips, Fultz and Brady did the best work, while Lauder, Rodman and Dunne led at the bat. The score: Yale. B.D. 2%. ib: Sn. p.o.

THE FRESHMAN GAMES. The Freshman Base Ball Team de- feated the team of the Hillhouse High School in a very loosely played game at the Edgewood Field, Wednesday, April 28, by the score of 15 to 3. Clark- gon and Eddy played with the Fresh- men for the first time. The pitching was somewhat better than in previous games, although there is still room for improvement. The batting order for Yale, 1900, was as follows: Newcombe, c.; Bronson, s.s.; Ferguson, r.f.; Lyon and Clarkson, c.f.; Eddy, 1.f.; Crawford, 83b.; Russel, 1b.; Norton, 2b.; Dunleary and Whittlesey, p. The score by innings was as follows: Yale, 1900...:3 4°0 0 1°42) 2a Hillhouse....0 00210900 083 YALE, 1900 VS. DEAN ACADEMY. The Freshman base ball nine was defeated by Dean Academy, Saturday, May 1, by a score of 11 to 5. The game was played on the Dean Academy grounds at Franklin, Mass, which were in very poor condition. The Freshman team: was crippled by the loss of Nor- ton, Dunn and Eddy, who were pre- vented from going by examinations in the Scientific School. The game was loosely played, the batting was weak, the base-running very poor, and the throwing wild. The pitching was un- steady. The Dean Academy nine was strong at the bat and fielded fairly well. Co ofl paren rmwlocotoooo: a a oe ~] a oo Se SPRING ATHLETIC GAMES Good Records in the Track Events. New Material Developing. The annual spring games of the Yale Athletic Association were held at the Yale Field, Wednesday, April 28, and proved more successful than had been generally expected. The time of 10 1-5 seconds in the 100-yard dash, made in both the final heat and the first of the trial heats, by Graff and Byers re- Spectively, was very good, considering the light wind that blew down the track against the runners. In the quarter mile run also Fisher made the circuit of the track in 57 seconds in spite of the wind. The finish in the 220 yard dash was the closest of the afternoon, the three first men finishing not two feet apart. Butler, 1900, walked a fine race, covering the mile in 7 minutes and 2-5 seconds. The half mile run was anoth- er race deserving of mention. Hinckley won in 2 minutes, 3 -5 seconds, but was not pushed at all. In the pole vault two men were tied for first place with the bar at 11 feet, and Cheney covered the very creditable distance of 22 feet 2 inches, in the broad jump.

The 20 candidates for positions back of the line who reported were divided into two squads, one prac- ticing at 10 a. m. and the other at 4 p. m. After this week the work will be ‘optional and will be held three times a week. The kicking has. steadily im- proved, and Mr. Bull’s assistance at this time will prove of especial benefit next year, as he has started the candi- dates along lines of practice which they can carry on by themselves to great advantage. A kicking contest will be held, May 24. P. T. Stillman, °95S., is expected soon to coach the can- didates for center. 2 @ ta SI WAR .
