A VETERAN'S VIEW,
Yale’s Work at New York Equals
Anything in Twenty Years.
The Nine defeated Princeton on
Saturday, June 18, at the Polo Grounds,
New York, in the third and deciding
game of the series by a score of 8 to 3.
No more brilliant game has been
played by any Yale Nine in the twenty
years’ observation of the writer, and
he has difficulty in recalling a profes-
sional match in which there have been
more phenomenal plays, clean fielding,
timely batting and general good and
united team work.
The three. Yale outfielders covered
great ground, capturing at least four
unusually difficult hard-hit flies, includ-
ing a one-hander by Wallace in right
field, which was a marvelous perform-
ance and prevented three sure runs.
The infield showed excellent training
and. knowledge of the game, deSaulles,
the second baseman, making a wonder-
ful left handed running stop back of first
base and with the same motion tossing
the ball to the bag in time to retire the
runner.
First baseman~ Wadsworth main-
tained the very high standard set by a
long line of noted Yale players in that
position and amazed the Polo Ground
frequenters, accustomed only to Capt.
Joyce of the Giants, by making several
beautiful stops and a remarkable run-
ning catch of a high foul near the
grand stand.
Camp at short had several difficult
balls to field and made a fine throw
to catch a runner at the plate, though
the umpire did not allow the out. His
one failure to stop a batted ball was a
pardonable error.
At third base, Yale’s weak spot for
many years and the hardest fielding
position, Hazen acquitted himself finely
and his throwing to first was accurate
and quick. If he is a consistent player,
his work on Saturday would entitle
him to the credit of being the best
third baseman Yale has ever had.
Greenway and Sullivan, the battery,
deserve all possible credit for the vic-
tory. Sullivan caught prettily, steadied
his piccher and his high overthrow to
second was his only misplay.
Capt. Greenway distinguished himself
once more by pitching a cool, heady
game, undeterred by the almost inces-
sant cheering and singing of the Prince-
ton contingent directly in front of him.
He allowed only two bases on balls,
frequently forcing the batsman to retire
or to strike after three balls had been
called. He himself batted well and
timely. As encouragement for his hard
work in the box, he had almost flaw-
less support behind him, notwithstand-
ing the hard hit balls of a heavy batting
Princeton Nine. He made a hard line
catch, and Sullivan also gathered in a
high foul near the grand stand. Both
were pretty plays.
The batting of the Team was some-
what weak except in the fifth inning,
when four singles in succession by
Greenway, Wallace, Camp and Hazen
netted three earned runs with two men
left on bases, Wadsworth and Eddy
striking out and Sullivan going out at
first. deSaulles and Wadsworth were
entirely at Hillebrand’s mercy and Eddy
failed to find the ball at all. In exten-
uation, Hillebrand is one of the best
of college pitchers and his change of
pace on Saturday was especially notice-
able. He was unfortunate in hitting
three men.
Tt was a hard game for Princeton to
lose. Her Nine this year has an ex-
cellent battery, possibly the best college |
catcher, a fine outfield and usually
reliable infield, though the second and
third basemen have in their last two
Yale games made disastrous errors,
sufficient perhaps to turn victory into
defeat. Kelly, at first, showed poor
judgment in attempting to cover the
second baseman’s territory too much,
leaving his own bag unprotected. The
Nine batted well and hard, Hillebrand
leading, but their hits were scattered or
else landed just where the active Yale
fielders were lying in wait. Yale won
by the phenomenal playing described,
combined with her bunching four base
hits out of eight in one inning.
It was a game which will live long
in the recollection of all Yale men
present, though the enjoyment of the
occasion was marred by the annoyance
caused by the uninterrupted noise made
by certain bands of Yale and Prince-
ton supporters.
Good plays on either side deserve
enthusiasm. Earsplitting, continuous
yelling, regardless of reason, is one of
the unmitigated nuisances conected with
progress of the age to be SUD RICE
