280 SALE ALUMNI WHREEKLY SOME GOOD BASEBALL. Yale Nine Shows an Improvement in the South. As the WEEKLY goes to press, only one game of the six, scheduled for the Easter trip of the Yale Nine, remains to be played, that with Georgetown Uni- versity at Washington, Tuesday, April 17. In the games, of which reports are printed below from a special corre- spondent, the Nine seems to have done some good work, and has been 1mprov- ing, as was shown by the brilliant work, on Saturday, and again on Monday, when an errorless game was played. The score on Monday night showed three games won and two lost. Yale 10; Fordham 7. The Yale Nine played the first game of its Southern trip, Wednesday after- noon, April 11, at Fordham, N. Y., against the strong Fordham College Nine, and won by the score of 10 to 7. The weather conditions were ideal, there being no wind and a warm sun, which enabled the pitchers to use much speed. The game was slow and very loosely played, on the whole, thought there were several brilliant doubles made. | Robertson of. Yale was hit rather freely in the first two innings. For the rest of the game he kept the hits well scattered and struck out several men, McKenna of Fordham’ started with a good deal of speed and was a puzzle at first; but after the second inning he weakened and several long hits were made. The batting of the Yale team, however, was not at all consistent. Camp led with a home run, a double and a single, while Quinby got two singles and Sharpe a home run. The rest of the team did little hitting. In the field, Yale’s infield did some snappy work; two fast doubles by Camp and Sullivan, and Quinby’s difficult catch of a short fly over first base were the fea- tures of this department. was slow in starting and did not cover much ground; this was partly due to the slowness of the field. | In running bases the players showed improvement. In the third inning there was a very pretty double steal, Camp going to third and Sullivan to second. The score: YALE: AB. R. IB. PO. A. E. Quinby. 26i 3° 2D Barnwelselr os 25: Rie i. 2020 Camp, (SS)
