Q
 Score of 10 to 6.
 It was cold, raw, April day, but notw;th- standing this about thousand spectators as- sembled at the Yale Field yesterday to see the Yale team try to defeat the Bostons. The Bostons are 6 fine looking set of fellows, l and this was only the third game they have l played this season.
 It was a splendid game, but the boys in blue had to succumb to the Bostons, al- though they did not prove easy victims.
 Boston 10, Yale 6.
 The $20, 900 battery2 Yes, they were here, and Clarkson .twirled the sphere so that but five hits were made off him, with total of six. Kelly was as quick as 8 cat behind the bat and the Yale boys didn't try to steal second base but twice.
 The great battery was what defeated the Yale boys. They fought nobly, but they couldn't be expected to win. It was the strongest team that the little town of Bos- ton could present.
 Stagg was batted freely and did not seem to be much of an enigma for the Bostons, Nash and Hornung did the best batting, the former making home run. The Bostons made fourteen hits for total of twenty.
 The feature of the game was Danns work behind the bat. His work was truly wonder ful, and he had twelve chances and accepted every one Dalzell made the most hits for Yale, but Damn hit one for two bases
 Stagg and Damn did not receive the sup port they ought to have had. The felders did not handle the ball quickly. Moves made two bad errors and Dalzell let an easy one pass him. McConkey at second did not
 play his usual good game, mufing two balls thrown by Damn. Stagg's two errors were
 for giving bases on balls. Bases secured in this way are not credited as base hits this season, an error being charged to the pitcher instead. Clarkson had four errors in this way.
 The Bostons worked we'll together, but their errors gave Yale all her runs. The game started off with the Yale boys at the bat. Stagg stepped to the plate pre- pared to line the ball for home run. Clark son looked at the college pitcher and then sent ball through. "One ball" cried out
 Umpire Kelly. Then stagg made made foul ] hit at the next one and knocked a foul, which Clarkson ran up to get. He muffed it. This seemed to rattle him, for he pitched three bad balls and Stagg took his base. While McConkey was being thrown | out st first by Sutton Stagg went to second. s'Sut' in trying to put Hunt out threw the | ball away over MoTrills head and Stagg got home. Hunt was forced out at second by | Damn.
 The first man to the bat for Boston was s'Ten Thousand Dollar" Kelly. He pulled his hat over his eyes, and after having four \ balls and two strikes called he rapped the
 ball to Moves, who let it go by him. Wise knocked g high fly, which, to everybody's ! astonishment, Moves mufed. Sutton feuled | out, and then Nash grasped the willow. But | one ball had been called when he struck at | the ball. AS it sailed through the air away | over Hunts head to the track no one could ! help cheering. The next three men went out, | Morrill, not being able to touch the ball, even | to make foul
 1 Boston 3, Yale 1.
 In the second inning neither side scored. The first hit for Yale was made in the | third inning by McConkey, who knocked | fly ball to center field. This produced much l enthusiasm. The hit did no good, for Yale was blanked. When Nash stepped to the plate he was cheered After having two | balls called and making two fouls he lined | the ball into center field for one base He l was left at first.
 l In the fourth Damn hit hot liner to Clark son which nearly knocked him over, but he recovered in time to throw him out at ! first
 | Hornung led off fer Boston in the fourth. | Not content with making hit in the first he 1 nearly knocked the cover off the ball by send l ing it over Hunts head for three bases. I Browns single brought him home. The lat | ter made 8 clean steal of second. Clarkson, | who had been struck out in the second came | to the bat now. The spectators cheered with | delight when Stagg struck out the great and four balls called when he hit the ball into center field for two bases. He could easily have made three and might have got home, but he didn't half run. Brown scored. End of fourth-Boston 5, Yale 1. After Walker had been retired at first in | the sixth Mcbride got his base On balls On Dalxell's hit to right field he got to second | and Dalzell to second while they were trying ' to throw Mcbride out at third Stagg got to | first on balls: McBride led off from second | and Kelly in trying to catch him made bad throw. Mcbride started home and Nash threw to Kelly, bu: not quite soon enough. Dalzell had started for third, but Kelly caught him. Kelly missed McConkey's third strike and Stagg scored On the error and Me Conkey got to third, but there he was left. Sutton got first on balls. Nash came to the bat again and electrified the spectators by making two-base hit into left field. With Sutton on third and Nash on second Merrill hit the ball to Moves, who threw home to cut off Sutton. He was caught between the bases and was run out by Damn, Dalzell and Stagg, who put him out. Nash WAS on third and Hornung made everyone feel weary by making his third safe hit, bringing Nash homo. He made 8 clean steal of second Johnston hit an easy one to Dalzell, who let it go between his legs. Hornung was caught by Damn in trying to steal third and Brown ". zelps error.
 End of ffth-Boston 2, Yale g. In the sixth Damn make two baser into center and everybody cheered hilariously. Yale had the bases filled, but couldn't score Moves and Walker both being thrown out at third.
 The spectators raised great cry when Kelly went out on foul tip, and a still greater one when Damn also caught Nash's foul tip. Wise and Sutton both made singles Mcbride opened the seventh by hitting to Wise, who fumbled the ball and then threw over MorrilPs head, allowing the runner to get third. He scored on Dalzelfs single to center, Dalzell got second on Kelly's bad throw and scored on Stagg's single. Things began to get interesting and every body began to warm up by standing and cheering.
 Johnston threw home to cut Dalzell of and Stagg gained second. McConkey hit to Clarkson, who threw wildly to first and Stagg scored. NcConkey was thrown out at second
 by Kelly.
 End of seventh-Boston 2, Yale G.
 In the eighth Boston made three more runs. Clarkson, whom Stsgg had twice struck out, quieted the cheering by leading of with a double to center field. Singles
 were then made by Kelly, Sutton and Nor Till.
 The Yales wanted four runs to tie the score and they had one inning in which to do it.
 The first ball Clarkson pitched hit Mcbride and he was given his base.
 DalzelI went out on foul to Sutton.
 Stagg was given his base on balls and then McConkey made three vicious hits at the ball, but failed to touch it. Kelly dropped the ball on the thrid strike. Stsgg started for third and Kelly picked the ball up quick ly and threw to cut of Stagg, but the latter was there safely. McConkey ran to first, but he was out as the rules say that when 8 man is on first base the batter is out no matter if the catcher does not hold the third strike.
 All chances of tieing the score disappeared when Calhoun struck out, leaving two men on bases
 James Kelly umpired fair and impartial game, his judgment being right in every in- stance.
