2 nn eee a LE SENT LL A RIB BT SESS TES SES Ee SS SS THE BASEBALL WEEK, Changes in the Battery—General Im- provement Shown. —_—__—_ Several changes have been made in the battery of the University nine since the last issue of the Weekly. bx $. Goodwin, 1900, who was considered un- able to play this season. owing to some trouble with his heart, has finally been allowed by his physician to try for a position behind the bat. His work so far has been very satisfactory, and he is expected tod remain with the team during the rest of the season. FH. 4, deForest, ’97, has also returned to the training table, having recovered from an injury to his hand. Yale’s two most successful pitchers, Greenway, 98S., and Fearey, °98, have been obliged to give up playing for the pres- ent at least. The former has gone to the mountains owing to ill health, where it is hoped he will fully recover and be able to rejoin the team within a week or ten days. Fearey was badly spiked in the Wesleyan game, and though the injury is on his left hand, he will nevertheless be prevented from playing for a week or more. Hamlin, M. S., and Hecker, ’99, will represent Yale in the box in the mean time. YALE, 8; LAFAYETTE, 11. The University Nine was defeated by the Lafayette team at the Field, Wednesday, May 5, by the score of tt to 8. The game was won by the ability of Lafayette to make hits and the mis- fortune of Yale to make costly errors at critical points. This was the case in both the second and fourth innings, when five and four runs respectively were scored by the visitors. Fearey and Hamlin occupied the box for Yale. The former allowed eight hits during five innings, struck out six men and gave four men bases on balls. The lat- ter was very effective at times and did very good work considering the fact that it was his first trial in the box for this year. Both pitchers were er- ratic and wild at times. he Yale team as a whole fielded well, their errors being few, though costly, and their work at the bat was good and steady, but their hits did not come at the right times. Reed, Greenway and Camp led at the bat for Yale, and Fincke, Greenway and Reed in the field. Fincke’s catch. of a high foul fly close to the bleachers was the feature of the game. The score: Yale. ip, 2. UD.

Bartlett behind the bat was some- what bothered by the erratic work of the pitchers. He had several very cost- ly passed balls, however, which gave runs to his opponents. He seems to lose his head at critical points. i op — i | | at = 00 YALE, 10; WESLEYAN, 3. Yale defeated Wesleyan in an unin- teresting game at Middletown Satur- day, May 8, by the score of 10 to 3. The work of both pitchers was very good. Wesleyan lost the game through bad errors made at critical moments. Camp and Keator did the best work for Yale in the field, and Camp and Wallace at the bat. Townsend and Yaw did the best work for Wesleyan. | Keator made a sensational catch of a VALE ALUMNI WHEKLY short fly to center field, when he was playing far back. By hard running and a dive forward at the right moment he caught the ball and held it, although he brought up finally at full length on the ground. Fearey was quite severely spiked on the left hand in the third inning and will be put out of the game for several days in consequence. The score: Yale. a:b. r. 1b. p.0. a8. Keaton ets st. O00 .4.
