The Ball Game at Hamilton Park.

A CLOSE BUT TAME GAME-YALE. WINS BY ONE
 RUN IN THE LAST INNING.
 The Harvard game has become by long usage one of the institutions of Commence ment week, and the immense crowd that con- gregated at Hamilton Park yesterday after. noon testified to the continued interest in the game. There must have been over two thousand people present. The two stands were denseIy packed and many sat upon the ground on the west side of the field. Car riages lined the field, completely surrounding it. The day was perfect. The game was called at 3:3O with Yale at the bat. Hub bard. Yale's first batter, was put out at first, Griggs went out on foul bound and Hop kins made base hit out into right field and got third on passed ball, but was left there as Childs went out at first. For Harvard, Coolidge went out on a fly to Souther, and Lowering sent fly to Griggs, who failed to get it. He stole second. Lemoyne went out on strikes and Smith on fly to Carpen- ter. In the second inning Griggs made one of the best catches of the game. No runs were made. The third inning opened with two-base hit by Mckee out into right field. Carpenter made hit and Mckee was urged to run in on it, which he tried to do, but was put out at the home plate, the ball being felded in from center field in fine style. Carpenter stole second, Hubbard flied out. Griggs reached first by an error of Phillips and Carpenter got third. Hopkins was given his base on balls. Thus three men were on bases when ChiIds came to bat and the hopes of the Yale men ran high. Bets were offered Rs high as nine cents to one that Yale would make run, but no>takers were found, even with such odds offered. Childs batted 8 fly, but was caught out by Lemoyne, Harvard's left fielder. Harvard made no runs. In the next inning both sides went out in 1,-2, order. In the fifth Mckee flied out, Carpen- ter got first on second basenan's error, but was put out with Hubbard by double play. Beaman went out by foul catch by | Hubbard, who also caught out Coolidge in l the same inning, both of them very fine catches. Nichols went out on a fly to Booth. No runs were made in the sixth. Both sides | retired in 1,2, 8 order in the next inning. In the eighth careless base-running again ruined Yale's chances. Carpenter went out on foul bound, Hubbard got his base on | balls, stole second, but was put out on third by Smith, who failed to get Griggs out. 1 Griggs stole second, but was put out attempt ing to purloin third. Nichols fouIed out and Coolidge was put out at first, where he | collided in strange fashion with Booth, who was backing up Childs and the two rolled | over and over in the dust Hubbard caught | out Lowering. Eight innings had been play ed with no runs made and the game was be. | coming monotonous. It looked as though the game might be prolonged ad infnitum, ], but it was not. Hopkins batted a fine fly to right field, but was put out. Childs made a base hit and stole second. Booth came to bat and made fine hit, bringing in Childs,
 making the first run and winning the game. Terry went out on a fly and Souther fouled
 out. Harvard was unable to score and so the
 game ended. When Childs made the run the
 crowd showed the first signs of enthusiasm.
 The "old grads'' cheered and the ladies
 screamed. AS each Harvard man went out
 the graduates cheered Justify and when the
 carried them off the field The game was
 we'll played. but rather uninteresting. Few
 brilliant plays were made. Hubbard caught
 some very difficult fouls. Childs played in
 his usual perfect style and Booth pitched
 very well indeed. Lemoyne batted well for
 Harvard and Phillips and Allen played we'll.
 The score is as follows:
