YALE ALUMNI WEBB Y FIRST GAME FOR PRINCETON. Yale Nine Lost Through Fearey’s Weakness and General Poor Play. The first game in the Yale-Princeton championship baseball series was played at the Yale Field on Saturday and resulted in an easy victory for the Princeton Nine. Almost four thousand people saw the game in spite of the weather conditions, which were ren- dered decidedly unfavorable by reason of a strong wind blowing across the field from the North. The result of the game was in doubt at no time after the fourth inning, although the rally in the eighth gave some hope to the Yale fol- lowing, recalling as it did the sensa- tional finish of the first Princeton game last year, when Yale turned almost cer- tain defeat into victory by opportune batting in the ninth and tenth innings. Fearey pitched the first four innings for Yale and principally through his wildness Princeton secured her unsur- mountable lead. Greenway succeeded Fearey and finished the game in credit- able form, although he was hit freely. The field work of the Yale Nine was ragged at times. Camp, Hazen, Wads- worth and Wear, however, filled their positions in fine form, and with Green- way, were the only men on the team who were able to hit Hillebrand’s de- livery. Sullivan’s weakness in throw- ing to bases was again apparent, five men succeeding in stealing second. Hillebrand pitched a steady game for Princeton and was well supported ex- cept in the eighth inning, when Butler's errors and Kafer’s passed ball proved costly. The batting of Kelly and Hil- lebrand was a feature of the game. The play was. marked by two sensa- tional catches, one by Watkins of Sulli- van’s hit over short-stop and the other, deSaulles’ stop of a line drive between first and second. Eleven bases on balls and six hits off Fearey, coupled with four stolen bases, errors by Greenway and Wallace and three passed balls, allowed nine Prince- ton men to score in the first four in- nings. © Princeton. scored. two. more runs in the fifth on three hits and errors by Wallace and deSaulles. A sacrifice hit, followed by Kelly’s single, sent Easton across the plate in the eighth and completed Princeton’s scoring. Wear’s home run in the seventh in- ning was Yale’s first score, although the side had been retired in three pre- vious innings with three men on bases. Yale made six runs in the eighth on errors off Butler, a base on balls, sin- gles by Camp, deSaulles and Wads- worth and Greenway’s three-base hit into right field. The . score: YALE. AB. R. H. PO.

This game was the last of a very successful season, the Yale Freshmen having won three out of the four championship games, two from Harvard and one from Princeton. in batting, but five of the six errors were costly. The loose field work may be attributed in a measure to the un- favorable weather conditions, as_ it rained during part of the game and the diamond was in bad shape. Stick- ney pitched well and the whole team played a plucky up-hill game. Yale’s base-running, however, was extremely poor. Irwin led at the bat for Yale while the fielding and batting of Clark of Yale and Hamilton and Clausen of Princeton were uniformly good. The score: YALE, IQOT. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Y., the new Cap- tain of the Track Team, prepared. for College at the Harvard School, New York City. He has been on the Uni- versity Relay Team for. three years. In Freshman year he secured. second place in the quarter-mile in the Intercol- legiate. In 1897, he won first in the ' FED T. R. FISHER, 798 S. 220-yard dash, and third in the hundred in the Yale-Harvard games. He also won second in the hundred in the Inter- collegiate last year. This Spring he tied for first place in the quarter mile in the Yale-Harvard games, but was prevented from running in the Inter- collegiates by a sprained tendon. Yale out-classed Princeton: CREW ON THE THAMES, : Weather, and Condition of the Oars- men, Good-—Speeding Up. The University Crew had its closing practice on the harbor on Friday last and after a rest granted them on Satur- day afternoon to witness the ball game with Princeton at the Field, they left for New London on the steam yacht Eleanor. The Eleanor is the property of William A. Slater of Norwich, Conn., but has been chartered for the Summer by Colonel Oliver Payne of New York, the uncle of Captain Whitney, who tendered it to the management for the transportation of the Crew and the row- ing paraphernalia. The men taken were: Payne Whitney, Oo, Captain? Ji Pi Brock; 109000% RR. FE. Flint, ’°99 S.; J. H. Niedeken, 1900; F. W. Allen, 1900; J. C. Greenleaf, ’99 S.; W. B. Williams, 1900. Substitutes, J. C. Greenway, 1900; R. A. McGee, ’99 SH V. Cross, 1900, and Louis Greene, ’99, coxswain. H. P. Wickes, 1900, who was at the Infirmary suffer- ing from a slight attack of malaria, left for New London on Tuesday. As usual the examinations for these men will be held at New London. The men were accompanied by Coach Robert J. Cook, Grenville Parker, ’08, Manager, and Ord Preston, ’99, Assist- ant Manager. Two shells were carried swung over the deck of the yacht, one, the shell used year, and other the new cedar shell built in England. The Davies boat, built in Cambridge, will go to Gale’s Ferry at once, to be used in case of any emergency, though the greater part of the work will be done in the English boat, which is designed for the race. The Crew reached their quarters at Captain Brown’s house, at Gale’s Ferry at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon, and be- gan hard training on the river on Mon- day. The change cannot be but bene- ficial and shows already in the sharper practise. No time rows have been taken as ‘yet. : L & &> weve Freshman Crew Shake-up. Considerable improvement has been noticed in the work of the Freshman Crew during the past week, in spite of the adverse weather conditions. Three additional changes were made on Fri- day, Stillman returning to his old place at 4, Newport going to 3, where Atkin- son and Auchincloss had been rowing and Olcott replacing Wheeler and Keppleman, who had been alternating at 2. The following is the order of the boat at present: Stroke, Cameron, 1901; 7, Mitchell, 1901; 6, Brown, 1901; 5. Gillette, 1000 S.; 4; Stillman; roer; 3, Newport, 1901; 2, Olcott, 1901; bow, Waterman. | The squad left for Gale’s Ferry on Wednesday, where they took up their quarters with the University Crew. a Harvard Reaches Red Top. The Harvard University and Fresh- man Crews ended their practice on the Charles river on Tuesday, and accom- panied by Coach Lehmann left for New London yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, the shells and launch having gone for- ward a few hours before them. The men were given a great send-off by 2,000 students, who cheered enthusiasti- cally for the oarsmen and Mr. Lehmann. The men are in excellent health and spirits and much confidence is expressed in their ability to win on the 22d. The Harvard quarters, which will be at Red Top as in former years, were ready to receive the visitors. Full-grown Men Linn THE SUN. in the race” last.
