Again the Crimson Bows TO the Blue
AN Immense crowd at Ihe Field
Bates 10 Come TO Yale.
Yesterday was great day for Yale. The
decisive game in the college championship
series was played at the Field and resulted in
happy victory for Yale; score 5-3. Fully
six thousand spectators viewed the game
All the 'busses and carryslls and hacks in
town were in use for the occasion. Despite
the ominous skies the ladies were out in large
force The crowd as intensely Yale
The game was called at about 4. ItIwas
long one, but close and exciting and brilliant
ly contested for three innings. Yale was
confident, Harvard smarting under defeat
and determined to win. Everybody was in
tensely interested. Neither pitcher was in
his best form and the hits were about equally
divided. The home team got in some long
hitting, McClintock's home run in the fourth
being feature of the game. For three
innings neither side succeeded in scoring, but
in the fourth Yale piled up Eve runs winning
the game. For six innings Harvard was shut
out but in the seventh she made three runs,
her only ones. And this was another pecu-
liarity of the contest, that each team made all
their runs in one inning. At o'clock Umpire
Mclean called play with Harvard at the
bat Campbell knocked a pretty fy which
reposed safely in Walkers hands, Damn cap
tured foul tip from Gallivan's bat and
Boyden flied out to Noyes. Yale was dis
posed of in equally quick time. Stage went
out, Gallivan to Willard, Calhoun enabled
KnoWlton to catch a fly and Hunt after bat
ting long foa1 to far left went out on q
foul tip to Henshaw. In the second, Hem
shaw led off with a pretty single to
center, but his corpulency rendered him
hoe 1oo al
advanced to second by Knowlton's hit to left
field after Willard had flied out to Hunt
and Bates had struck out. Yale retired
in one, two, three order, as likewise did
Harvard in the third and fourth. In Yale's
half of the third Mcbride succeeded in get
ting to second, but was thrown ont in at
tempting to reach third. 1t was in the
fourth that Yale won the game. Calhoun
began the fun with his to left and was
brought in by Hunts terrific three Dagger to
left center, Noyes hunted the ball, reached
first and went on to second while all the
Harvard team were concentrating their eff
forts on keeping Hunt at third. Damn flied ont
to Rowland, Hunt scoring on the throw in.
McConkey hit long fly to Knowiton, which
the latter obligingly muffed. Mcbride
struck out and McClintock. after
he hit several fouls and had
two strikes, sent the ball to
far left for a home run, bringing in Nc
to Willard, and Yale's run getting was over.
In the fifth Knowlton reached third and
Quackenboss second, but could not score;
while for Yale -Stagg reached third and Noyes
second, but also failed to score. Both sides
retired in quick succession in the sixth, but
in the seventh Harvard scored three runs on
singles by Willard and Campbell, Kuowlton's
double and errors by Hunt and Damn. After
this neither side scored, and when Rowland
went out in the ninth from Calhoun to Nc
Bride and Yale had won the championship
for 1888 a scene of pandemonium issued. The
triumphant team was carried about on the
shoulders of its admirers and the little giant
Stagg was presented with a floral base ball.
Mclean umpired good game and has given
universal satisfaction throughout the series.
It was reported after the game that Bates,
Harvard's crack pitcher, had said that he ex-
pected to come to Yale next year. And thus
Yale won again the pennant which she has
held for so many years and which evidently
| is very loath to leave her. Harvard came 80
near winning it this year and was long SO
| confident of doing SO that the defeat has
been bitter pill for her to swallow. The
| score tells the story:
HARVARD. YALE.
