14 ‘YAILH:~ ALUMNI WEEKLY YALE TOOK SECOND GAME. Won Over Harvard Through Supe- rior Batting and Fielding. The hour set for the ball game be- tween Yale and Harvard on Tuesday, June 28, at Yale Field was three o'clock, but long before that time the gathering cohorts made the scene at the Osborn Hall corner an intensely animated and interesting one. The day was ideal, and every class that could be out was out, with a band at its head, no less than seven bands and a drum corps being in service. Two or three classes chartered cars, stowed the musicians aboard and made a quick trip, but the majority preferred to march. The men of Ninety-Five Sheff., back for their triennial to the number of a hundred, wore white duck suits and hats. Led by W. O. Hickok, carrying the banner, and headed by the Second Regiment Band, the Class took up its march to the Field in column of fours. It was followed by other classes, wearing some distinguishing headgear, in rapid succession until at 3 o'clock the corner had taken on its usual quiet appearance. Arriving at the Field the classes filed into the seats reserved for them on the first base side and the bands made conversation difficult till play was called. Cheering was well- timed and enthusiastic though not led systematically. The Harvard contin- gent was small, but being compact was able to do good work, encouraging their players in critical moments. A conservative estimate places the number present at the game as 5,500. Yale won the game by steady bat- ting, making safe hits when needed, and superb fielding. Greenway’s arm, though sore, did not appear to affect his work much, as he gave only one man his base on balls. Besides his good work in the box he fielded his — position well. THE GAME. Yale began her run-getting in the first inning with a snap. deSaulles, the first eman up for Yale, in the first half, made a pretty single on the second ball pitched over the plate and was followed by Wadsworth with a _ similar one. Wear came to bat and filled the bases ‘with a hard drive between short and second; deSaulles coming home on Greenway’s drive into left field. A minute later Wadsworth came home on Wallace’s two-base hit over second base and the score was 2 to o, which re- mained unchanged when the side was retired. In her half Harvard did not show the speed that was expected of her and the graduates began to predict the size of the score. In the second half of the third, Har- vard got the bases full on a base on balls by Greenway for Lewis and two effective bunts by Hayes and Loughlin. No one was out and it looked like a sure score when Burgess came to the bat. The latter hitto Hazen, who threw Lewis out at home, and Sullivan by a beautiful line throw caught Burgess at first by a foot. When Rand flied out to Hazen and ended their half the great crowd went wild. Eddy scored in the fourth inning on his own hot single and on hits by Sulli- van and deSaulles. Sullivan also scored. Score 4 to o. Harvard, playing slowly and heavily, did nothing in her half. No further scoring was done till the seventh inning, Yale’s “lucky seventh,” when deSaulles and Wadsworth made their bases on safe hits and were ad- vanced to third and scored respectively by Wear’s sacrifice. Greenway hit to right field, but no one was under it and deSaulles trotted home. Wadsworth followed him a minute later on a hit by Wallace. The side went out with the score 5 to 0. No Harvard man got to first in her half. Hazen added another run to Yale’s score in the eighth and which may be accredited to Houghton’s excusable muff of Reid’s high throw to catch Eddy, who succeeded in stealing sec- ond. The final score was 7 to o. The score: YALE. AB. R. H. SH. PO. A. E. sesauies an. ..7.. 5 2. 3.0. 2.4. 0 Warswein 10... 52 30 45 OC Wea, te flee cs on: 2 2.8 6 Grbingay.

Yale were gathered, primarily to have a jolly reunion, secondarily to have a baseball Both Harvard and Yale had the game. former, but Yale got the latter. The score was I0 to 7. It was a unique celebration. Features were introduced such as Chicagoans never saw before. They reminded the “srad,” though, of the class days down East. Hurdy-gurdies were scattered along the grand stand. Confidentially a hurdy-gurdy is a street piano with an Italian with rings in his ears attached to it. Then there was a band up on the bleachers. It was the aim of the whole thing to keep the pianos and the band blazing away all at the same time. There were giant firecrackers, too, and men with strong lungs and mega- phones and horns. And _ altogether. there was very much noise, very much fun and some baseball. - Beauty invaded the grand stand an hour before the game began. Pretty girls and pretty women came by the score. They wore crimson _ bands around their chic straw hats or big, blue, fluffy neckscarfs. It was all a case of Yale or Harvard. If you couldn’t tell it by the attire or by the banners that were breezed from the grand stand pillars, you could by the bunches of nine fast ’rahs that Yalensians yelled or those of nine slow ones that Har- vardites screeched. As for the game, as far as the merri- ment went there was “nothing in it.” The old boys that used to wear crim- son sweaters and blue stockings away back in the ’80’s had resurrected the. precious mementos and trotted onto the field in gay and variegated garb. These were the Harvard players: Hapgood, ’94; Manley, ,’87; Tilden, ’87; Schmidt, ’96; Frazeur, ’94; Olm- sted, 82; Le Moyne, ’84; Grimstead, 87; Ayer, ’93. And here the sons of Eli: ; Calhoun, ’91; Jerrems, ’97; Poole, ’91; Bigelow, ’94; Miller, ’96; Noyes, ’92; Colgate, ’96; Farnum, ’94; Kedzie, ’93.

The concert of. the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs was held Tuesday night, June 28, before a very large audience. Mr. Butler, Mr. Parker, Mr. Van Beuren and Mr. Sheehan were the soloists. C. C. Conway, ’99 S., Presi- dent for next year, was cheered after one of the selection. THE SARATOGA REGATTA. Cornell Freshmen were Winners—U. ot P. Led Cornell Four Lengths, After two days of disheartening post- ponements on account of rough water on Saratoga Lake, the Freshman race between Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia was rowed on Saturday morning, July 2. Only a handful of spectators saw the race, the majority of visitors leaving town on Friday, con- vinced that there never would be smooth water again on the Lake. Those who stayed, however, saw a great race. When the pistol was fired at 9.15 Saturday morning, all the crews got the water at the same time, but the ragged work of Pennsylvania early in the race showed that they couldn’t win. Cornell and Columbia rowed smoothly, but the Columbia boat lagged between strokes and stopped almost still just be- fore the -catch, while that of Cornell travelled much more evenly. Cornell took the lead after the first mile and increased it during the remainder of the race. All the excitement centered in the struggle for second place between Pennsylvania and Columbia. The former rowed a slightly higher but much more ragged stroke. Both crews were even until the last quarter mile. At this point the Columbia Freshmen raised their stroke to thirty-six, and by a magnificent spurt won second place, beating Pennsylvania by a short half length. Time of winner: 10.5734. UNIVERSITY RACE. The race betwee-- the University crews of the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Wisconsin, Cornell and Columbia on Saratoga Lake, Satur- day morning was a close and exciting one. It had been postponed from five o’clock Friday afternoon, but could not be rowed at 9.30, the time set, on ac- count of the delay caused by the Fresh- man race. A start was finally made at about 10.30. A south wind was blowing strong down the course. FREDERIC W. ALLEN. Captain of Yale University Crew for Next Year. The crews of the University of Wis- consin and of Columbia got the best start and held a slight lead for a mile and a half, Wisconsin if anything hav- ing the advantage. Until that time it was anyone’s race, for Cornell, although she held last place, was only a half length behind and was expected to make it up without difficulty, Pennsly- vania was rowing the highest stroke, 36 to 38, while the other crews averaged from 32 to 34. At the two miles Penn- sylvania took the lead and from that time to the finish held it easily.
