 Yesterday proved to be very fine time for ball game, although the grass was some- what wet, and this partly accounted for the number of errors made by both hines. As late as one o'clock it was uncertain whether the game would be played or not It soon cleared of and quite large crowd was at tracted to the park, all expecting to see 8 fine game for Amherst was known to have 8 strong nine. A more peculiar game has never been witnessed. There were good many brilliant plays on each side, while it was also remarkable for the number of errors and the many times the hines were 'trattled." Play was called at twenty minutes past three, with Amherst at the bat. Chase struck out, Wood ward reached first by Walden's error, Gould went out on a foul tip, which was taken by Ives, Savage made hit, Arnd struck out, ,leav- ing two men on bases. For Yale, Hutchison made hit. In running to first he tripped some way, either on the bag or first baseman's foot, and sprained his leg pretty badly, at the same time hurting Pratt. Ives took his place and obtained run by Lambs hit and two errors Walden struck fly to left, Platt got his base on balls, Hopkins reached first on short stops error Lamb and Platt came home on errors, Camp got first on catchers error, Watson made sacrifice hit, Hopkins going out at home. Badger made hit, bring ing in Camp and Watson, Ives struck to left all T,o+ +ho Drokf had
 first on Ives error and came home on an error by Ives Hutchison, although suffering considerably, pluckily kept his place during this and part of the next inning In the sec- ond and third innings Yale was retired with out run, In the third Chase made hit and came home on errors and sacrifice hit. In this inning Gould was struck by terrific ball pitched by Hutchison. It struck his left arm sideways, between the wrist and elbow, breaking one of the bones seriously. He was immediately taken to Dr. Bacon's office and attended to. Crittenden took his place, Rob- inson, a substitute going to third. Hutchi- son was compelled to give up at this point, his place being filled by Jones, who pitched with his usual ability. Almost immediately after the accident hot foul ball was struck by first base, hitting and shattering lamp on carriage standing near the judges stand, thus another accident being narrowly avoid ed. since there were two or three ladies in the carriage. In the second inning Chase made fine play, catching a very hot liner. In the fourth inning Yale made four runs through errors and two hits. Amherst was retired in one, two, three order. Camp made fine stop and throw to first. In the fifth Amherst managed to add two more to their score. Hopkins made fine running foul catch. Yale failed to score in this inn ing. Badger struck sharply to pitcher, who held it in fine style. Neither side made run in the sixth. Walden made tremendous hit, and easily reached third base on it. It was very near a home run. The seventh in- ming, so often fatal to Yale, was assuredly so yesterday. Four runs were made by Am herst, Gould, Savage, Arnd and Taylor mak- ing four safe hits in succession. Platt re- deemed the inning some by 8 magnificent running foul catch. If Yale was ''rattled'' in this inning Amherst certainly was. Five runs were made and nearly all of them on errors. Watson, however, made fine two baser into right field. In the eighth Yale re- covered and played well, but could not pre- vent Amherst from obtaining another run. Not so with Amherst. She was still 'trat- tled' some Yale made five runs again in this inning with four single base hits. Am herst failed to score in the ninth and Yale did not play the rest of it. Chase, Amherst's short stop, was quite badly injured before coming here and was in no condition to play. This accounts for most of his errors, for he is usually fine player. Hopkins played 8
 fine game, putting out twenty-one and mak- ing no errors. Platt also played well. The return game is placed at Amherst week from to-day, June 25th. M-. Hutchinson thinks he will be all right again in 8 few days and will be able to pitch next Saturday. The following is the complete and official score:
