The University’s confidence in Cap- tain Greenway was justified for the sec- ond time, when the final game with Princeton went to Yale last Saturday in New York. This Princeton series has been one of the most satisfactory a Yale baseball team has ever played. Everybody realized that the home team did not do themselves justice in the New Haven game, when they were so badly defeated. Good judges said Yale would do better at Princeton the next Saturday, even though the Princeton team would be backed up by a Com- mencement crowd. It all depended upon whether Greenway could pitch or not. In spite of a bad arm he went into the box, and by his steadying ef- fect on the team and excellent play, the game was won. So sure was Princeton of a favorable outcome that the members of the team had their possessions packed ready to go to their several homes after the game was over, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL.

UNION SQUARE NEW YORK but they found it necessary to unpack them and wait another week, for the deciding game. To answer the question how it was done is not difficult. The bulk of the credit lies with Yale’s Captain. He put the balls over the plate, but not neces- sarily in a straight line, and even when Princeton did hit, Yale’s field proved impregnable. Outside of Greenway, no one man can be picked out as having done work that discounted the rest, un- less it be the four who made the phenomenal stops of the day. Umpire Gaffney called the game promptly at 3.30 o'clock. At that hour, the big stands at the Polo Grounds were filled with a typical college crowd, with the exception of a few seats on. the ends. Princeton supporters seemed the most numerous, but when the little bunch of Yale men in the cheering section got together, it was plain to be seen that Yale was not to be outdone in vocal loyalty. A moderate breeze was blowing across the field from second to home. Captain Greenway won the toss and sent Princeton to the bat. Only four men were up in Princeton’s haif and no score was registered. deSaulles, Yale’s surest man to first, brought the Yale crowd to their feet by scoring on a passed ball, one to nothing looking very well. In the first half of the sec- ond, deSaulles made one of the prettiest plays a person is likely to see on a baseball field. A hot grounder was knocked down toward first base just out of reach of Wadsworth’s hands. deSaulles, from his position near sec- ond, sprinted after it, but just before it reached him it bounded high. He arose several feet, seemingly, after it and pulled it down, but the impetus of his run prevented him from making a throw. With characteristic cleverness, he made a back hand toss, the ball rollng slowly into Wadsworth’s hands just before the man reached the base. The three other phenomenal plays like- wise made the Yale crowd wild with enthusiasm. In the first half of the fourth, Hazen, at third base, made a dive for a grounder and was just able © to stop it with one hand. He recovered the ball and threw the man out at first. In the seventh, at a critical point, a hot liner was hit which Greenway caught about two feet from the ground. And in the ninth, Wallace made the most beautiful play of the day by pulling down with one hand a long fly to right, which was apparently a home run. There were two men on bases and if he had not reached it, Princeton’s score. would have come up to six. The fifth inning proved to be Yale’s lucky one, instead of the eighth, as is usual. With the score three to three, Yale, by the timely hits of Greenway, Wallace and Camp, advanced it to six. In the next inning, the two finals runs of the game were made by deSaulles and Wear, and Yale had won by eight to three. The full score: YALE. 2 : AB. R. H. SH, PO. A.

Review.] The outbreak of war has been fol- lowed by innumerable demonstrations of martial enthusiasm among _ the younger members of the great Ameri- can Universities. We notice with in- terest that at Yale large numbers of undergraduates are attending daily mili- tary drills, and that a complete battery of Horse Artillery has been equipped, entirely by the New Haven students, for active service with the Connecticut troops. The United States Govern- ment, displaying a knowledge oi aca- demic youth which has never been paralleled on this side of the Atlantic, has re-christened the steamship ‘Paris, now an auxiliary cruiser, the Yale. A vigorous and immediate response to the compliment took the form of a large and daily increasing contribution towards the new cruiser’s equipment for war, raised by voluntary offerings of past and present members of Yale University. When will our Admiralty begin to attend to the economy of nomenclature? Cuas. Apams. ALEx.MoNem. Ws. 8. Brrepam. Yale ’87.

ARTHUR JOHN FRASER, CHarpwan. DONALD C. HALDEMAN A BIT OF HISTORY. [From Woodward’s “ Insurance in Connecticut.’’] The Etna escaped the fire of December 16th, 1835, in New York City—the first in the series of great American conflagrations—which destroyed property to the value of $15,000- 000, and bankrupted twenty-three out of twenty-six local insurance companies. It entered the city the following year, having for agent Augustus G. Hazard, afterwards the organizer and president of the Hazard Powder Company of Enfield. It was not so fortunate in the fire of 1845, which swept $6,000,000 of property from the business center of the metropolis, and - cost the Aetna $115,000. When the news reached Hartford, Mr. Brace called together the directors and told them that the calamity would probably exhaust the entire resources of the company. Going to the fire-proof vault, he took out and laid on the table the stocks and bonds representing its investments. Little was said, each member waiting for some one else to take the initiative. At length the silence was broken by the question: “ Mr. Brace, what will you do?”’ “Do?” replied he. “Go to New York and pay the losses if it takes every dollar there,” pointing to the packages, “and my fortune besides.” “Good, good,’’ responded the others. “We will stand by you with our fortunes also.” So it had always been with the 4tna in every crisis which it had before faced. The same spirit had carried this famous Company through where others had gone to the wall. This was the last close call for the tna. To-day with its cash capital of $4,000,000, a net surplus of nearly $4,500,000, and a system built on the priceless experience of seventy-nine years, it is hardly possible to conceive of its having a close call.
