 'rf you only beat Yale you are all right" | That was the expression of the New Haven people when it was known that there was to be ball team here. The New Ravens have now defeated the Yale team twice.
 There seems to be no doubt now but that the New Ravens will take brace and win some games. For two successive games they have played fine fielding game. l Their fielding yesterday was errorless. Every one seemed to do we'll, and there seemed to be some heart to their fielding Besides, there seemed to be head to the team in the person of Captain Corcoran. Sworback was put in to pitch, and O'Rourke to catch him. The latter was g great help to him. This was the first game ! that O'Rourke has caught this season, and he made an excellent impression. His throw
  | has been coaching Sworback, and the latter | several times tried new style of delivery that O'Rourke has been teaching him. Sworback also hit the ball hard, three times knocking a long fly to centre field. The New Ravens outbatted and out6elded ! the Yale team. O'Rourke showed that he is | a heavy hitter, and Galligan dispelled the ! delusion that some people have that he can- not hit, by lining the ball out for home run and two bagger. Lally also got his eye on | the ball and so did Sheehan. Walsh did great work in centre field. One | fly he got by jumping high in the air and pulling it down as it passed over his head. The Yale team started in by playing fine ' fielding game. Calhoun and Mcbride made some phenomenal stops of hits that looked I safe: Stagg was very unfortunate. In the third inning he made a his that was good for @ home run, but he turned his ankle at first base and did not get further than third. Later he had to retire in favor of Poole. The Game. New Haven was first at the bat. Brady was given his base on balls and easily stole second. Walsh's sacrifice sent him to third. and second on Lally's hot drive to Travers One run.
 Stagg hit fly which Walsh made long run for and got. Calhoun was given his bases on balls. He attempted to steal second, but O'Rourke's throw caught him several feet off tuo U6S5. McCluQ& QlG Sa16lY, ana ne was put out on O'Rourke throw to second. SECOND INNING. New Haven-Galligan fould out to Me- Bride, who made good run for it; Fitzger- aid struck out; Sheehsn hit short fly in to center, which Dalzell made brilliant run for but did not get; O'Rourke got his base on called balls, but Sworback flied out.

 When call for 'fplay'' was made Stagg was off his base and he did not return, but went home on Calhoun's single. Had Stagg re- mained on his base until after the umpire had called "play" the run would have count ed. As it was he was declared out. Result, one run.
