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.

Waie Summer Baseball.
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.”

sented: O. C. Mossman, ’94, s.s. and

Graduates at New Haven have taken
up baseball this Summer with some en-
thusiasm. 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;

Tyler, 1903; E. Hackett, 1903S., and
J. Alling, 19004. 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.

AMERICAN ATHLETES ABROAD.
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.
