240 YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY NINE IN THE SOUTH. Meeting Some Strong Teams with Indifferent Success. The Yale Nine began its Easter trip March 27, with a squad of fifteen men as follows: J. W. Wear, ’99; H. B. Wallace, ’99; S. B. Camp, 1900; C. E. Sullivan ,1900; E, S. Brown, 1900; C. H. Hall, ’99 S.; F. C. Robertson, 1901; H. D. Westcott, 1901; E. H. Brown, 1901; P. J. Gibson, 1901S.; F. L. Quinley, 1901S.; G. M. Hirsh, 1901; C. P. Cook, 1901 S.; R. M. Simonds, 1902, and Captain C. A. H. deSaulles. H. M. Keator, Captain of the Ninety- Seven team accompanied the team on the trip as coach. At the date _of writing (Monday night, April 3), only two games had been won out of the five that had been played. Yale, 4; Manhattan, 3. Yale made a very good beginning by winning the first game of the trip from Manhattan College at Jasper Field, New York City, Wednesday, March 26, by =the. close score .of 4. to:* 3. Although the wind blew a gale and it was very cold, it was a very interesting contest and well played. Through- out the entire match the result was very uncertain, Manhattan taking the Jead and holding it for six innings. For Yale Sullivan and Camp played especially well, both in fielding and at the bat. Robertson pitched the entire game for Yale and kept his head well, in tight places. Yale went first to the bat and was unable to score although two men got on the bases. Manhattan went out in order, Sullivan making a beautiful catch close to the fence on a high foul fly. Manhattan scored one run in the second, third and sixth innings. Yale should have scored in the fourth in- ning. Westcott knocked out a two- base - hit: Camp followed’ with ‘a grounder through Cohelen to right, but Westcott was caught at the plate. Neither team scored in the fifth inning, but a double play by Sullivan, un- assisted, was a feature of the game. Yale scored one run in the sixth, Camp making a two-base hit and scoring on a wild throw to catch him at third. The turning point came in the seventh. With two men out and Wear and Wal- lace on bases, McQuaid fumbled West- cott’s grounder, which filled the bases. Camp singled to left, scoring Wear and Wallace, and Westcott scored on Sul- livan’s single, giving Yale a lead of 4 to 3. Neither team was able to score in the last two innings, although Man- hattan had men on bases both innings. The full score follows: YALE, AB. R. IB. PO. A. E. G6etes,. Cinencioas eid Ook a.

The weather was ideal for baseball and Yale lost through her inability to bunch hits, and some very loose playing. Bach pitched an excellent game for Georgetown, striking out thirteen men. Hall pitched for Yale until the sixth inning, when Gibson was substituted. Georgetown scored a run in the first inning and gradually increased her lead throughout the game. Yale was absolutely unable to make a run until the eighth inning, when three runs were scored by a fine bunching of hits. Yale again scored in the ninth inning on a wild throw to first in an attempt to make a double play. Yale was very weak in allowing men bases on balls, Georgetown’s first run being forced in. She also seemed unable to keep men from stealing second at will. These two faults had much to do with the out- come of the game. For Yale, deSaulles led at the bat, making three singles, bringing in two of the runs. Gibson was substituted for Hall in the seventh. In the eighth for George- town, Fleming led off with a two-base hit, stole second and was advanced to third on Walsh’s grounder to Camp. Moran hit a hard grounder to right, Fleming scored and Walsh was caught at the plate by Wallace’s throw in. It was in this inning that Yale scored her first three runs, deSaulles bringing in two with a single to right. Yale and Georgetown each scored one in the ninth. The full score follows: YALE. : AB. R.

Yale won an easy victory from Hampton on Friday, March 31, in which the play was very one-sided. Yale took the lead from the first and steadily increased it throughout the game. Wallace was called in from right field to fill the box, and Brown was substituted in his place. On ac-. count of rain during th: forenoon the grounds were very slow, preventing any brilliant work. Yale played a fairly steady game, and solved Bullock’s pitching in good shape, making two three-base hits, three two-base hits and nine singles. Quinby led at the bat and Yale. first half of the seventh. The Hampton team was made up of Yale graduates with the exception of the battery; among them being H. M. Keator, ‘97; H. Letton, ’97S.; Richard Armstrong, ’95S., and W. O. Hickok, ’95 S. Hampton in the first inning went out in order. Yale in her half scored one run, deSaulles gaining first on a hit and scoring on a grounder fo sec- ond. Again Hampton went out in order, while Yale piled up four more runs. In the third inning Hampton scored two runs on hits by Owen and Hickok. Hampton did not score again until the sixth, when they made three runs on.a passed ball and a wild pitch. _ Yale continued to play an increas- ingly better game, making four runs in the fifth inning and seven in the sixth.

Yale was defeated in the first game of the series with Virginia, played in Richmond, Saturday, April 1, by the score of 10 to 3. Virginia only made five hits off Cook, but the difference in the score was due largely to the fact _ that seventeen Virginia men were al- lowed to walk to first, eleven getting bases on balls, five being hit by pitched balls and one going there on a balk. Summersgill only struck out three Yale men. Yale hit the ball fairly well, but almost always into someone’s hands. In the first inning, Virginia went out. For Yale, deSaulles got first on balls, stole second and scored on a passed ball. Virginia in the second evened the score up, Martin making a three- base hit and scoring on Steptoe’s sacri- fice hit to Brown. : . Virginia in the third added four runs to her score.
