No runs were scored in the first three
innings, but in the fifth Yale bunched
her hits, Wadsworth knocking out a
clean single, followed by Wear with a
bunt, which landed him safely. Wads-
worth stole third, but Wear trying a like
experiment at second was caught by the
alert and speedy Reid. Wadsworth
came in on Greenway’s long drive into
left field, who was himself left on sec-
ond, through Wallace’s fouling out and
otal getting in the way of a pitched
pall.
In Harvard’s half of the same inning
Houghton made the Crimson’s only
run. His single and Greenway’s wild
throw to first put him safely at second
and he completed the circuit through
the good offices of Reid and Sears.
The side was retired without further
runs, only through the coolness of
Greenway and the excellent support of
the whole Nine.
In the fifth inning Yale added another
tally through Eddy, who hit safe and
was advanced by Sullivan’s sacrifice and
brought home by Wadsworth’s sharp
drive into center field. The scoring
was finished with a run by Wadsworth
in the eighth. Harvard did not get a
man to first base after the fifth inning.
The attendance was not as large as
usual, there being possibly 2,500 per-
sons present.

Captain for next year.

Yale Trainer Resigned.
The Yale Track Athletic Association
was notified last week by its trainer,
Keene Fitzpatrick, that he could not
stay with Yale another year. Mr.
Fitzpatrick gave no reason for the
change. He has done good work here
and Captain Perkins expressed himself
as satisfied, althought the teams of the
last two years have been defeated in the
Intercollegiate meet.
Mr. Fitzpatrick will return to the
University of Michigan, which he left
to come to Yale, succeeding Dr. J. B.
Fitzgerald, the director of athletics.
He goes back to a salary of $2,000 per
year. : |
very strengthening of the acted version.
The author warns us that his story
is a romance only in the sense that that
word possesses ‘as often applied to
actual occurrences of a romantic charac-
ter,’ and that his characters “lived and
achieved, under the names they herein
bear; were as actual as the places here-
in mentioned.” Then he carries us up
the Hudson to the quaint old Philipse
manor-house at Tarrytown, where, to
an accompaniment of secret passages
and horsemen galloping up unexpected,
he unfolds before us how easily a Tory
major may lose a maid when his rival
is a daring, dashing captain of dragoons
under Harry Lee. It is a story that
carries the interest steadily, that con-
stantly offers new incident and happen-
ing,—that is decidedly readable, and
should be eminently successful. (L. C.
Page & Co.) |
“ Brokenburne.”
Another story of love and war comes
in Mrs. Boyle’s “Brokenburne,” a
—sightly little volume from the press of
E. R. Herrick & Co. The scene has
shifted from New York to Mississippi;
and grey and blue uniforms take the
place of buff coat and scarlet, but the
love of man and maid still stand firm
and true even in that tempest of civil
strife. In the background appears the
almost feudal magnificence of ante-
_ hard physical work to do.
bellum days in the South, and so life-
like is the picture that one must believe
the light of the old loves and graces,
still clustering about those homes, to
have fallen upon the author’s imagina-
tion. There is much in the story that
is idyllic, there is now and then a touch
of true comedy, while through it all
runs the tragic pathos of those dark
years.
“The Skipper’s Wooing.”
“The Skipper’s Wooing” is a very
different sort of a yarn. No pathos
here, but a succession of laughs—and
Mr. Jacobs has accomplished what few
can do; he has written a story that one
reading alone laughs out over. It is
not exactly a love story, but a narration
of a plain Thames captain, who gets
himself and all concerned into almost
endless trouble in trying to execute a
commission for the mistress of his
choice. It is the sort of a story that
fits well into a hammock these days;
it may be warranted to abate care and
dispel pessimism.
The same volume contains a story in
a very different key. “The Brown
Man’s Servant” is as gruesome as “The
Speckeled Band” that Sherlock Holmes
puzzled over, and it is told with a mas-
terly handling of inference and detail
that is not inferior’*to much of Edgar
Poe.
This, if I mistake not, is Mr. Jacobs’s
second volume, and judging from the
high merit that each has shown, and
the very real pleasure that each has
brought, it is to be hoped that the
Messrs. Stokes may soon announce a
third.

Sport’s Place in the Nation’s
Well-Being.
A most interesting feature of sport is
discussed by Price Collier in July Out-
img. The figures of expenditures in
Great Britain, where they have been
recently .gathered by competent au-
thority, show that the amount invested
in the principal departments of sport
foot up two hundred and fifty-three
million dollars ($253,000,000), and that
nearly two hundred and twenty-four
million dollars ($224,000,000) is the an-
nual expense.
Mr. Collier asks why it is that a na-
tion is willing to tax itself so heavily,
and concludes naturally that it finds the
investment profitable.
He then analyzes some of the moral
and mental, as well as physical, advan-
tages for the training of sport, and calls
attention to the rather significant fact
that the French do not play games
and that their population is decreasing;
that the Spaniards do not play games
and that “their two most - salient
characteristics are overweening per-
sonal pride and cruelty.” He adds:
“The Chinese despise unnecessary physi-
cal exercise, and can scarcely be driven
to fight, even for their country, and
their lack of decision and their pulpy
condition of dependence are now all
too manifest.”
The paper is principally devoted to
showing how sport counteracts the dan-
gerous tendencies of the conditions un-
der which most of us perform our daily
work; how that, merely as a diversion,
as a breaker-up of monotony, it is in-
valuable. The sports and recreations
of well-known men like Salisbury and
Chamberlain are cited.
As for America, the writer wonders
that we don’t yet begin to realize the
value of physical training. He explains
this on the ground that the making of
a new country has given an enormous
amount of physical work to all the
people, and that the great names in
American history are very generally
names of men who have had plenty of
The danger
is pointed out, however, that we cannot
continue in the highly civilized condi-
tion to which in many parts of our
country we have attained, unless we off-
set the tendencies of this life by plenty
of exercise.
Before the writer is through he gives
some very hard raps at the mean and
low things that are done in the name
of sport, and concludes by saying: “If
our sports are kept in good hands, if
they are well conducted, we need not
fear to spend millions upon them,
neither need we fear that they will do
harm. In a word, honest sport needs
no apology, while for professionalized
sport there is no excuse.”
