VATE ALUMNI Whee PRINCETON WINS. Yale was Unable to Hit Hillebrand’s Pitching. A typical college crowd of over 6,000 spectators filled the grand stand and bleachers at. the Polo grounds in New York, Saturday, June 17, and witnessed the defeat of Yale’s nine by Princeton’s by the score of 11 to 4. It was the de- ciding game of the series, Yale win- ning the first game easily, at Yale Field, June 3, and Princeton taking the second at Princeton a week later. Yale’s fine work in the first match, when Princeton was unable to make a run or a hit, raised high expectations. But for some unexplained reason Yale failed utterly to reach the form she showed even in the early season, and both at the bat and on the bases played a game which would hardly have won from a school nine. Many chances to score were lost, the best being in the second inning when, after the bases were full, with no outs, Waddell, Eddy and Cook struck out. Wallace and Wear, usually very steady players, did some bad base run- ning and sliding and scored twice. Cook at the last moment was put in to pitch, He had great .speed, but could not control the ball and in the fourth inning gave four bases on balls and hit Harrison twice. Four of these gifts were turned into runs by Prince- ton, while a couple of wild pitches were instrumental in letting two more men across the home plate. Robertson went in in the fifth and it looked as if he would stem the tide, but in the sixth an error followed by three singles and a home run, increased Princeton’s score to eleven. Of these eleven runs, four were made by men who were sent to first on errors. Eddy was responsible for a run in the second by allowing Suter’s pop fly, which should have been an easy out, to drop safe, letting Mac- Gibbon score. Hillebrand pitched a strong game and took advantage of Yale’s inability to judge balls. He had tine control and retired nine men on strikes; Waddell, Eddy and Cook had six strike outs be- tween them. Camp, deSaulles, Sullivan and Robertson batted hard and were instrumental in scoring Yale’s four runs. Camp’s three hits when men were on bases, however, were wasted by the poor base running of the man ahead of him. Robertson made a hit every time he came to bat and deSaulles’ singles were timely. In the field there was also some good playing as well as bad. Wallace covered his position beautifully and made the star catches of the day. In the seventh Watkins drove out a hard liner just outside the foul line. It seemed almost impossible for Wallace to reach the ball, but to the surprise of everybody he did, colliding with the bleachers as he caught the ball. He also made another catch of a hard foul. Sullivan played in the same fine form as in the last two games and did his best to help his pitchers along. de- Saulles made several pretty stops and his one error was very excusable. Of course Hillebrand was easily the shining light for Princeton, but he was ably supported by Kafer. Hillebrand’s own batting drove in four runs for Princeton. Hutchinson on third played a sharp clean game and accepted practi- cally all that came to him.. Suter, in left;..also covered a_ great deal of ground and took all that came his way. While Princeton did not get as many hits as Yale, nearly all she did get were when men were on bases. At these times they were almost sure to get in a hit, and this in a large measure ac- counts for their large score. Yale on the other hand was very weak with men on bases. After the game the entire Princeton crowd carried their players off the field and then, forming an immense circle around the diamond, held a jubilation, tearing up the home plate and bases to take home as souvenirs.

Harvard is to have a College of Com- parative Medicine which will take front rank in the medical education of America. It will be an institution un- der which the different medical depart- ments of the University are to be co- ordinated and where research work in original lines is to be carried on. It will include a hospital for animals that is to cost $100,000,: where, besides the humane treatment of animals, investi- gations into their diseases, especially into their possible relations with those . of man, may be conducted. The pro- posed buildings and the necessary teach- ing staff will require a sum of about $400,000, $300,000 of which has been set aside by the Harvard Corporation.
