YALE ALUMNI WHEEKLY Al'7 BASEBALL RECORDS. Interesting Facts Shown by Figures Compiled from Official Scores. The following figures, which have been carefully compiled from the official scores of the Yale Baseball Nine, dur- ing the season which closed with the game with Harvard, in New York, June 30, show some interesting facts about the work of the individual players. Hirsh leads the fielding list with a clean record, giving him an average of 1.000. In the three Harvard games, one Prince- ton game and the Orange A. C. game he had 31 put outs and 6 assists with no errors. In batting his average was .I90, making in his 2I times at bat, 4 hits. . Cook led the Nine in batting with an average of just a shade under .400, making 23 hits in his 58 times at bat. Sharpe’s fielding record of .974 for the whole season is considered excep- tionally good. He had 292 put outs, II assists and 8 errors. In batting he took fourth place in the Nine with an average of .259. He made 3 home runs, 4. three- base hits and 3 two-base hits. Quinby was second to Cook‘ at the bat, with an average of .310, although he actually made more hits than any other player on the Nine. Barnwell was second in the fielding record and led with sacri- fice hits. Sullivan maintained a good average in fielding and at the bat, while the fielding of Lyon and Ward, substi- tutes, were both perfect in the games in which they played. BATTING RECORD. Player At Bat.

Wherever Yale men gathered in sufh- cient numbers during the Summer, judg- ing from the reports that have drifted into the ALtuMNI WEEKLY office from time to time, there was sure to be a base- ball match. Sometimes it was the un- dergraduates who crossed bats among themselves and sometimes the under- graduates and graduates, and the game was not always to the former. A series of games played in the Adirondacks between nines from Paul Smith’s and the Ampersand Hotel dur- ing the first week in August might have reminded a spectator strongly. of Yale Field during a June afternoon. The nine from Paul Smith’s had C. P. Cook, 1901 S., in the box; George Lyon, 1900; on first base; Leslie M. Johnston, 1902, on second base; Stewart Camp, 1900, at short-stop; E. S. Bronson, 1900, who acted as captain of the nine, on third base; Smith, 1901S., at center and E. iS Trudeau, 96, at left. Besides the Yale men in the game, a large delega- tion who are summering in the neigh- borhood of Paul Smith’s were on the sidelines and helped to make the resem- blance to Yale Field all the more strik- ing. The Ampersand nine was chiefly made up of players from the University of Pennsylvania, including Ritchie, White, Robinson and Tilton. M. : Ehrich, Yale ’98, and his brother W. Ehrich, Yale 1900S., also played on the Ampersands. The score of the first game was 10 to 2 in favor of Paul Smith’s. An eye-witness reported that “Cook’s curves couldn’t have been hit with a board.” The second return game was at Ampersand with about the same | nines, except that Johnston pitched and Percy Pyne, the golf champion of Prince- ton, played in the field. The score this time was 6 to o in favor of Paul Smith’s. George P. Chandler, Yale ’95, umpired the game. According to the Kansas City Times the greatest game of the far west was played at Exposition Park, Kansas City, Saturday, July 21, between Yale grad- uates and undergraduates, which was won by the former 19 to 14, notwith- standing the fact that they gathered to- gether errors which equalled their runs in number. The Times says: “It might be said that the victory of the old crowd was due largely to the fact that the veterans had in H. N. Strait a pitcher who could pitch, and in S. W. Sawyer a catcher who could catch. There was one man in the crowd who: hinted that the trouble with the undergraduates was that they could not hit ‘Strait’? balls, but the man’s friends rallied around him and he was passed to the outer regions before the angry mob could lay hands on him.” This is the line-up the graduates pre- sented: O.

Two games have been played at the Yale Field with a nine from Madi- son, Conn., which contained a number of men from different colleges who were spending the Summer there. Of the New Haven games the first was lost by the Yale men, 5 to 20, and the second won, 17 to 3.. Two games at Madison were won by the Madison nine, 17 to 5 and 8 to 7. Yale men playing in the New Haven nine included A. K. Mer- ritt, 93, Registrar of the College; Ar- thur L. Wheeler,, 93, of the Latin De- partment, who has just accepted a pro- fessorship at Bryn Mawr; Dr. Leonard C. Sanford, ’9o; the Observatory; L. S. Welch, 89; W. H. Hackett, ’93; H. M.

The makeup of the nine changed considerably from game to game. So much interest in the game has been shown by graduates that there is talk of organizing for another year and playing regularly through the Spring and Summer.

They Win a Majority of all Track and Field Events, — The performance of the squad of American athletes who went abroad this Summer to compete in the Olym- pian games at Paris,and in the English amateur championship games a week earlier, have been most satisfactory from the American point of view. The rec- ord of the Americans stands: In Eng- land—eight events won out of a possible thirteen; in Paris—seventeen events won out of a total of twenty-one entered and nine world’s championships out of twelve contested. The University of Pennsylvania was represented by the largest number of competitors, 13; Princeton sent 6; the New York A. C. 6; Syracuse 5 and the University of Chicago 5. Georgetown, University of Michigan, Brown and Williams Colleges were represented, bringing the total of Americans up to 40. Harvard and Yale were not repre- sented as colleges, but three Yale men, R. H. Sheldon, ex-’98S.; Bascom Johnson, 1900, Captain of last year’s Yale Track Team, and Dixon Boardman, 1902, went under the N. Y. A. C. colors. The first trial of the strength of the Americans came at the championship games of the Amateur Athletic Asso- ciation at Stamford Bridge, England, July 7, when they met not only the cream of the English, Irish and Scotch athletes, but some champions of the colonies as well.. An audience of more than three thousand saw the games and heartily applauded the winners, irre- spective of their nationality. THE SUMMARIES. 1oo-yards—Won by Duffy, George- town, in 10s.
