YALE ALUMNI ATHLETIC NEWS. Sheft. Modifies Rules-—Official Warn- ing to Bar Athletes. A modification of the rules of discip- line at the Sheffield’ Scientific School went into effect this week. The changed rules are in the direction of more ef- fective guarding of the scholarship of those engaged in athletics and other matters outside of the curriculuth. The new rules forbid the participa- tion in athletics of those who are act- ually in danger, as evidenced by official warning. This means that a general low average, a number of conditions, the repetition of subjects with the class below, or any other fact or evidence CAPT. W. P. DRUM, California. of danger will bar out the athlete, and keep him barred out until he is again out of danger. There is to be no spe- cial opportunity for him if he gets into trouble, because there will be only one way ott which is safe. The former rule that a single condi- tion disqualified was found to fail as a means of bringing pressure and to ex- clude men occasionally whose general work and standing in the School was ex- cellent. The rule did not seem to mark the danger line or to keep people away from it. Baseball of the Week. Yale baseball has had a poor week of it. The Brown game showed some good fielding, but also poor work. The batting was most disappointing. Things were worse at Columbia. The Team has the right stuff, good physical ma- terial and excellent spirit, and is well guided. But it needs instruction and help right away. COOK TO PLAY. The change of rules will allow C. P. Cook;. :1901,9%5-. to + play. «His general stand is good and his attendance most regular. The technicality of practically a single close condition has hitherto prevented his joining: the players, for the old rule has been consistently ap- plied. His case illustrates where the old rule failed, but was in no sense a catise of the change, which has been under consideration for months. Yale 5; Brown 1. Yale took advantage of the errors made by the Brown Nine, in the game at the Field, Wednesday, May 2, and by the bunching of hits at an opportune time won out, with five runs to one. With the exception of Quinby, who made three errors, the Yale fielders played carefully, and at critical times were as steady as professionals. Three times Brown had a man on third and could not score. Quinby’s first error, Which _ was largely responsible for Brown’s run, was an excusable one, the ball being a slow grounder between first and second base, which the runner was following very closely. Quinby made a juggling catch of it, however, and was late a fraction of a second in getting Crror. the ball to first. ing right in his hands. five hits and giving no bases. care of all the batted balls in his terri- tory and made a pretty sacrifice hit. Washburn, for Brown, gave five bases on balls, but kept Yale down to five hits, well scattered. Crane, Brown’s third baseman, made a one-handed catch of a foul ball which was one of the most phenomenal seen at the Field for years. Behind the bat Cunha caught well and kept the runners very close to bases. His swift and accurate throwing to second makes stealing that base a very risky undertaking. Captain Camp had the greater part of the fielding to do, accepting eight chances without an His throwing to first, always good, was perfect on Wednesday. The weak spots in the Nine, as shown in several innings, when a hit meant a run or two, are still the batting and slow- ness on bases. Brown opened the game in a dashing way with Tobey’s two-base hit over third. Bacon singled and Tobey came home on a slow grounder by Clark. Up to the fifth inning, Brown showed the steadiest kind of a game, and gave an exhibition of the kind of ball that shut out Harvard without a run the preced- ing Saturday. In that inning, however, with Sharpe and Guernsey on _ bases, with no one out, Whittemore threw wild to second, which started an epidemic of , errors and allowed both runners to score In the seventh, with one man out, Guernsey and Quinby were given their bases on balls and both scored on Barnwell’s drive to right field. Camp, who followed at the bat, brought Barn- well home. In the last of the. ninth Brown made two clean singles and it looked like runs, but Camp threw both C.

Yale 9; Columbia 4, Yale’s play against Columbia in the ball game at Columbia Field, New York, Saturday, May 5, was very discourag- ing, considering the possibilities of the team. The score was 9 to 4 in Yales favor, but errors were altogether too frequent for this time of the year, and the batting was weaker than ever, all but one hit of the seven scored being scratches. The Columbia team was not a strong one, either at the bat or in the field and made all sorts of errors, Good- man, the short stop, being responsible for four costly ones. Robertson was in the box for Yale for eight innings and pitched well, although in the sixth he was hit safely three times. Mc- Kelvy pitched the last inning in good J. H. HOFFMAN, California. form. The feature of an otherwise poor game was Cunha’s catching and throw- ing to bases. The score: YALE. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E CGD, 2 ee 2, 020 Se Darawe, ©... .s. Ae 254 ea Caniis ss°4) 222.
