| A Had DAY For Y01e-The C0l0red Mine Have No Trouble i'm Hitting Stags- The Yales Get RaStled.
 The weather was delightful yesterday and about four hundred persons went out to the Yale Field to see the game between the Yales and Cuban Giants. They were well repaid, for it was better than minstrel show. The coaching of the Cuban Giants has made them famous. It sickened the Yale supporters to see the way their team played and the way Stagg was hit. The Yale team played we'll in all except one inning, when they got rattled. They didn't dare run bases, so deadly was Thomas fine throwing. Stagg was pounded hard. Damn was the only one who supported him in admirable shape This he did through all the yelling and coaching. Stagg is al- ways given the credit of being cool under the most trying circumstances, but yesterday that record was broken and he was badly demor- alized pitcher.
 Stewart played short, and as he is out of practice no fault can be found with his play ing. His stopping of balls was poor, but he throws accurately. McConkey at second did well. osborne's fingers were like butter. Calhoun dropped fly.
 Stovey, the crack pitcher of last 80 ason's Jersey Citys, pitched for the Giants and the Yales could not touch him. They made four hits with a total of six, while the Giants hit for total of fifteen bases. Seven Yale men struck out
 at the comical sayings of the Giants.
 The game began at 4:25. The Yale team went to the bat, but not one reached first base, so clever was the fielding. The Giants, however, knocked out one run.
 Yale made two in the third. Stewart was cheered as he stepped to the plate. Three strikes were called on him and he went to the players bench. Mcbride went, out at first. .Stagg got five bad balls and stole second on bad throw. McConkey hit safe 1y, making second on an attempt to throw Stagg out at third. Thomas made wild throw and Stagg scored. McConkey scored on G. Williams tumble of Calhoun's hit. Hunt retired the side by trifing with the at mosphere.
 The Giants tied the score on a base on balls, triple by c. Williams and single.
 Beth sides went out in one, two, three or der in the fourth.
 Yale got one moro in the fifth on base on balls, single by Stagg, and an error by G. Williams. Mcbride and McConkey struck out.
 The score stood 4-3 in Yale's favor until Me. seventh inning. Then Stagg became rattled, the Giants pounded the ball all over the field and the Yale team in general went to pieces. This only goes to show that when Stagg is hit hard the team cannot play ball. Selden knocked baby fly, but McConkey muffed it. Boyd lifted the ball over center felder's head for three bases and Selden scored. Stovey hit to Mcbride, but he stood as if glued to the ground. He was waiting to cut Boyd off at the plate, but Boyd didn't run and so Stovey was safe He stole second.
 da hal oh do froo dar ina her over de barn. We've got lem now. Dey can't play ball."
 These were some of the exclamations rem dered by the Giants. Holmes flied out to McConkey. G. Williams hit just back of short stop and Walker, Stewart and Osborn let the ball drop between them. This let two runs in. Walker returned the ball to cut off Stovey, but Damn let the ball pass him and Williams got second. Then O. Williams hit to Stewart and the other Williams started for third and got there, although an attempt was made to put him out. c. Williams landed safely on first and easily stole second. Thomas made his third safe hit, but knocking the ball right on the seam for three bases. Har- rison struck out, but Damn muffed the last ! strike and Thomas scored on the out. Six runs before 8 single man was out. Selden and Boyd then went out
 Yale got one man on the bases in the eighth on an error, but he got no further than first. The Giants came near making another run as they touched up Stagg for two more singles
 Osborn came to the bat for the last time for Yale. He. hammered the air three times ''Dats the way to do iti" cried out Selden from left field. "Put de ball ober de plate. They can't hit balloon. We've got lem rattled." A shout of joy was raised when Walker lined the ball to left for single, the first safe hit made by Yale since the fifth inning. He made second on g huff of thrown ball. ,tsThere is dat man who waits" they all cried when Stewart came to the bat For the third time he got first base on balls ! Mcbride went out at first. "Ah, here he comes Lookln cried out Selden as Stagg came to the bat with two more on bases. l Umpire Kelly called one strike, and then l Stagg hit at the second ball but missed it. l "You've got i'm right in your vest pocket l now. Double him up. We've got 'em | razzle-dazzledl" These we're the cries in l dulged in by ths Giants. It locked as if
