Harvard took thé déciding game of the
series by continuing to hold Yale’s bat-
ting down and by improving her own.
The game at New York at the Polo
Grounds, Saturday, June 30, was as hot
a contest as college baseball records will
show in a decade. Both sides played
hard and unusually clean baseball in the
field, Yale setting the higher standard by
a number of plays which would have
been brilliant on any diamond and by
uniformly good work through the nine.
Both sides batted more freely than in
New Haven, and Harvard made an
excellent total. Yale at no time came
near the grip on Stillman’s delivery
which her men took from the first at
the Cambridge game. There was plenty
of hard hitting, but too little of it safe.
The excitement, even for one not per-
sonally interested, began with the first
man up and did not end until the last
man out. Not once, but many times
through the game, a hit or an error
would have shifted the lead and changed
the outlook. Hits sometimes came when
they were needed; errors never, at the
most critical points. A total of nearly
twenty men left on bases on both sides,
shows the spectacular interest of the
game and its possibilities, all down the
nine innings.
THE PITCHERS,
[In the pitching, Stillman, who had re-
covered himself so remarkably in the
second game, continued his good work
for Harvard, and in that respect easily
excelled Yale. Robertson, who had been
indisposed since after the first Harvard
game, lacked a little of his usual speed
and control, and Harvard hit him freely
from the first. Garvan went in for Yale
after five innings and, after some very
costly nervousness, including three bases
on balls in the first two innings, he
steadied and pitched excellently.
Behind the hat, Reid caught his usual
excellent game for Harvard and did not
allow a very bad leg to lower the stand-
ard of his game. Hirsh of Yale added
to his laurels. Both his pitchers were
wild, Garvan particularly so, but with a
handicap of a dislocated middle finger
strapped to his forefinger, he stopped
everything and threw faultlessly.
Camp of Yale duplicated his splendid
batting at the New Haven game and
played the same determined, cool, hard
game,
The most conspicuous fielding and bat-
ting success was Quinby. In spite of
the fact that two balls, which he touched,
escaped him, one of which had to be
counted as an error, he covered his
position in a way seldom equalled in
college baseball. In the sixth, he took
a hot grounder from Reid, almost over
second base. In reaching for it he lost
his balance and went nearly over on his
back, but recovered in time to catch the
runner at first. Loughlin’s play at left
field was perhaps the most noticeable
feature for Harvard. A slight error in
judgment on Camp’s long fly would have
probably changed the game.
The sensational play was Guernsey’s
one-handed catch of a hot line ball in
the first inning from Wendell’s bat. It
looked like a safe hit to left field be-
tween third and short. Guernsey made
a long dive at it and balanced it in his
glove.
At the very start Yale seemed to have
her lap full of chances to win the game.
The Nine went in determined to strike
hard at first. Quinby, for whom Still-
man had such respect that he gave him
three bases on balls, hit him once and
had to allow him a single for the fifth
time up, took his base on balls. Camp
hit safely the first ball that came to him,
and then Sullivan, Cook and Guernsey

Given the degree of LL.D. by Yale.
struck out. In the second, with Sharpe,
Robertson and Quinby on bases, the Yale
captain again came to the bat. This time
it was a long hard fly to left and
Loughlin’s good judgment spoiled a
chance for three runs.
YALE’S RUNS.
In the fifth, Yale had another chance
and took it. Quinby again walked to
first; Camp singled and Quinby reached
third and the Yale captain second. Sul-
livan hit a grounder to third, on which
Quinby tried to score, but Reid had
plenty of time for him. There were still
two men on bases and Cook at the bat.
He returned for the time to his old
batting order and shot a hot one by
Stillman to centerfield, on which the two
men came home. Cook himself was put
out trying to reach second. Guernsey
struck out and Yale’s scoring was done.
The top of the batting list was reached
again by Yale in the seventh inning and
Quinby responded as usual, this time
with a single. On the signal that the bat-
ter would hit, he started for second, but
Camp missed the ball and Kendall had
plenty of time for him. Camp went out
on strikes and Sullivan on a liner to
short.
Yale played the game to the end.
With two out in the ninth, Quinby came
to the bat and, as usual, went to first on
balls. Camp again singled. With two
on bases, Yale’s hopes rose. Sullivan hit
hard, but within reach of Kendall, and
the game was over.
HARVARD'S RUNS.
The Harvard scoring was done in the
third, fifth and sixth innings. She had
every expectation of doing a lot of it in
the second with the bases full and only
one man out, but the grounder from
Stillman’s bat to Sharpe went to home
and back to first again for a sensational
finish of the inning. |
In the third, Kendall led for Harvard
as Sullivan had led for Yale, with a
two-bagger; then Loughlin followed
with a three-base drive to left and Ken-
dall scored. Reid went out but Wendell
hit safely by third and Loughlin came
in. Fincke also
George went out on a grounder to
Quinby and Yale was grateful that there
was no more scoring. In the fifth, with
two men out, Wendell singled, Coolidge
took a base on balls and a single by
Fincke scored Wendell. Fincke was
caught off first as the ball was returned.
In the sixth, George, the first man to
face Garvan, was retired by a short
grounder to the pitcher, Clark followed
with a hit, and Stillman and Kendall
took bases on balls. Loughlin of Har-
vard came up to it again with a hit and
Kendall and Stillman came in. Kendall
was caught trying for third and Quinby’s |
remarkable stop of Reid’s grounder to
Quinby, already referred to, closed the
inning. The score: 3

Wale’s Next : Captain,
Harvard duly celebrated the victory,
which she very much appreciated. The
Yale men quietly returned to their quar-
ters at the Plaza Hotel, closed the sea-
son with a quiet dinner and the election
of Frank Lees Quinby, 1902S. of New
York City, for Captain for next year.
This is Mr, Quinby’s second year on the
Yale Nine; his playing this season, bar-
ring some erratic work in May, when
he was out of condition, has been of a
very high order. He is a hard worker
and knows the game thoroughly. He
was not thought of as a candidate for the
position, because it was supposed he
would leave College at the end of this
year. His changed mind in this re-
spect, brought him at once to the front.
Be te
The Players in College.
Of the present nine, two leave College,
Captain Camp, the short stop, and Cor-
liss Sullivan, the right fielder and sub-
stitute catcher. They are two of the
best men on the Nine, but the number
of old players returning makes the out-
look, by way of material, unusually good.
Hirsh has proved himself an excellent
catcher, and if one or two substitutes can
be found to relieve him, the battery,
with Robertson, Cook and Garvan to
rely on, should be strong. Sharpe, who
has played an excellent and steadily de-
veloping game at first will be even better
another year; Quinby is enough for
second base, while Guernsey has proved
himself the best third baseman that Yale
has had for many years. He will learn
to bat another year. Barnwell at center
reached first but
field is another man who needs to learn
to bat to make a first class player. He
covers center admirably.
Cook is good almost everywhere. It
is to be hoped that nothing will interfere
another year with his development as
pitcher. He has speed, curves, and great
endurance. He missed some of the
coaching necessary in the early part of
the season and has not felt enough con-
fidence in his control to-do his best.
When in condition he is the heaviest
hitter on the Nine, his batting average
up to and through the first Harvard
game being quite remarkable. It is
pretty clear that he was too fine at the
end of the season. For a heavy man he
overtrains easily. He was playing close
to and even at times under 170 the last
part of June, whereas he ought to be at
180 or over.
The Harvard Nine has re-elected Wil-
liam T. Reid, Jr., Harvard IQOI, as
Captain for the next year.
Baseball Dinner.
The evening after the New York
gatne, the baseball training season closed
as usual with a small dinner, held at
the Plaza Hotel, where the Nine stayed
while in New York. Besides the squad,
a number of old baseball men and other
graduates were present. During the
evening, a loving cup was given to Mr.
Keator by the baseball management in
appreciation of his work for the Nine,
as coach, and the regard in which the
members hold him.
Mr. Keator took charge of the dinner
and excellent speeches were made by
Mr. Camp, the retiring Captain, Mr.
Allen, the Captain of the Crew, Mr.
Butterworth, ’95, Mr. Murphy, ’o7, and
by Mr. Hartwell, 89S. The latter
talked freely about rowing matters and
his speech was most reassuring as to
the attitude of the old rowing men in the
future. Mr. Quinby, the new captain,
when called on for a speech, responded
by leading a long cheer for Mr. Camp.
Mr. Robinson, who has been the
trainer of the Yale teams this year,
made a speech which was particularly
appreciated. It was a cordial expression
of his regard for the men and the ways
of Yale and the pleasure he had taken
this year at the University. It was
particularly appreciated by the members
of the Nine, who, like the members of
the football and the track teams, have
thought very highly of his work for
them.
CREW VICTORY CELEBRATED,
Interesting Points on the Race
Brought Out by the Oarsmen.
Yale celebrated the victory of the Uni-
versity Crew at New London in an ap-
propriate and very satisfactory way.
The public demonstration was very
good, even in spite of the heavy showers
which came down just as the train came
in. The most interesting part was the
dinner at the New Haven House, which
lasted from about half past eight until
half past. one, and which was full of
enthusiasm and good speeches. It was
marked by an excellent tone and the
best of spirit.
The Crews came down from quarters
in time to catch the regular express due
in New Haven at 7 o'clock. At. that
time several hundred students and gradu-
ates were at the station with a band and
a tallyho. After a few minutes delay
for the very heavy thunder storm, the
crews and their coach were mounted on
the tallyho and an old fashioned trium-
phal procession, with plenty of fireworks,
proceeded to the Campus. All of Yale
left in New Haven seemed to be on hand
to attend the celebration. At the New
Haven House the banquet was attended
by nearly a hundred, including the mem-
bers of the crews, and the baseball squad,
and a number of other undergraduates
and graduates, including many old row-
ing men. 3
The dinner began with grace by the
Rev. Dr. Lines and was conducted
throughout in a manner consistent with
its beginning. At the same time en-
thusiasm was at the highest point. Be-
fore it had hardly begun the crowd out-
side, whom the dining room had not
been large enough to include, and who
had continued celebrating with the band
and fireworks, marched into the room,
leading the band, playing and singing
