A Few Criticisms—The Nine Develops
Team Play.
The Southern. trip of the Yale Nine of
six games, which closed with the second
game with Georgetown at Washington,
Tuesday, April 17, resulted in even divi-
sion of losings and winnings—three each
way. The objects of this annual trip are
primarily to give the team practice; to
get the men working well together, and
to give them confidence. These things
were more satisfactorily done than the
scores of the games would seem to in-
dicate. When the Nine left New Ha-
ven it was merely an aggregation of
ball players. Each man looked out for
himself and there was very little team
work and less head work shown. The
playing of the six games scheduled,
against stronger teams than have been
met on this trip in previous years,
amalgamated the units, and the result is
a team, of which the infield plays very
smoothly together and with the out-
field beginning to get in good shape.
All the men show snap and dash, and
it would appear to be, at this writing,
a Nine in which team play can be highly
developed.
The batting of the Nine on the trip
was remarkable in the amount of heavy
hitting done—six home runs, six triples
and as many two-base hits. It is, notice-
able, also, that the hitting was very in-
consistent, and not well bunched when
men were on bases. There are great
possibilities in batting.
In no way did the Easter trip benefit
the men more than in fielding practice.
The infield now plays a strong, sharp,
game; accepts many difficult chances,
and is capable of making brilliant plays,
as illustrated by the triple in the game
with Boston. Sharpe, at first, is learn-
ing his position more thoroughly every
day and is covering much ground. Both
Brown and Captain Camp have played
all through the season a very fast game,
but Quinby, at second, is erratic in
throwing and, while pretty sure of what
he gets his hands on, does not cover
ground enough. The weakness of the
infield, in particular, is in catching pop
flies and uncertainty and hesitation as to
who should take them. These faults
were responsible for the loss of the sec-
ond Georgetown game.
In the last two games the outfield
developed some speed, but it is still slow
in starting, and has only just begun to
work together. The men do not cover
neatly enough ground, and are not ac-
curate in throwing. The base running
of the men is much better than before
the trip.
Garvan and Robertson, though having
good. control and speed, were hit hard
and often in almost every game. It is
worthy of note, that notwithstanding
this they were effective up to six inn-
ings, and the falling off of power after
that may possibly be explained by the
fact that the wear and tear of travel
in sleeping cars, with necessarily bad
hours, made it impossible for them to
stand the strain of an entire game.
Robertson did the best work and at
times showed remarkable control. Both
Sullivan and Cunha were steady be-
hind the bat, the latter’s throwing to
bases being unusually accurate and swift.
Wale 8; University of Virginia 7,
-Yale played the fifth game of the
Southern trip with the University of
Virginia Nine at Charlottesville, Vaz,
and. won. by the score of 8 to 7. Not
an error was made on the Yale side.
Garvan pitched for six innings and did
his best work of the trip, keeping hits
scattered until the sixth inning, when he
weakened greatly and was replaced by
Robertson. The Yale batting was er-
ratic, as in the other games. Lyon and
Quinby made home runs.
The score:
YALE.

Yale 5; Georgetown 6.
The second game with Georgetown,
and the last one of the trip, was played
at Washington, Tuesday, April 17, and
went to Georgetown, as did the first one
five days before. It should have been
Yale’s game however, for by a remarka-
ble burst of batting in the second and
third innnings five runs were scored and
a good lead obtained. Brown made a
home run in the second, Quinby did the
same in the third; Sullivan made a single
and Guernsey two. After this, Blewett
replaced White in the box for George-
town, and allowed only two hits during
the remaining six innings. Robertson
pitched for Yale and was hit freely
though not at all hard. Georgetown
played a steady, up-hill game to the
end, adding a run in the fifth, one in
the seventh and two in the eighth. The
Yale outfield did some very fast work,
particularly Barnwell, at center field.
Compared with the exhibition of the day
before, the infield play was poor, Camp
making two errors, and Quinby and
Sharpe one each, all costly. |

Yale 4; Holy Cross 3.
It took thirteen innings to decide the
game with the veteran Holy Cross Nine
at Yale Field Saturday afternoon, April
21, and the audience of 1,500 that had
seen the score tied in the ninth and
had sat through four extra innings with-
out a run being made, settled them-
selves for the fourteenth as the last Yale
man, Sharpe, came to bat. With two
strikes called on him he got a ball that
suited him and drove it far enough to
make three bases, thus scoring Brown,
who had made first on a pretty single,
and winning the game, four runs to
three. Yale did not make a run until
the eighth inning, when Quinby singled
over second, and by a sacrifice of Barn-
well went to third. Camp singled and
stole second, when by their only unstead-
iness during the whole game, the Holy
Cross men made two errors, allowing
Quinby and Camp to cross the plate.
Yale tied the score in the last half of the
ninth inning, when Waddell, who had
singled, stole second and was brought
in by Cunha’s two-base liner between
short and second, Cunha having gone
to bat in place of Garvan. Holy Cross’s
runs were made by timely batting, clever
and very fast base-running, and errors
by Garvan, Sullivan and Brown.
The game showed Yale in a favorable
light, for a green team, and there was
much to praise during the long, hard
fought contest. Both Garvan and
Robertson did splendid work in the box
and as a rule were well supported at
critical moments, the errors with two
exceptions being excusable. Both in the
field and at the bat the Nine improved
with every inning in the sharpness of
their play, and fought steadily to a
successful issue one of the most stub-
born games held at the Field for many
years, which is in itself not the léast
encouraging feature of the baseball situa-
tion at Yale to-day. The batting of
the Yale Nine, however, was below
what it should have been, and, as in
other games when hits were needed, they
did not come. Holy Cross had the same
Nine, in every position, as last year,
when they beat Yale by the score of
7to6. At that time Yale had the game
well in hand up to the eighth inning,
when the visitors, by bunching hits,
scored three runs and won the match.
The Holy Cross team this year is a bet-
ter one than that which beat Yale last
year—stronger at the bat, in the box
and in the field.
