YALE BEATS THE HARVARD CREW.
THE DEACON TELLS SOME QUIETFACTs

Doubtless all the past ungenerous deeds oi
Harry Wrights aggregation in the way OF pull
Yerlzing the Pittsburg's representatives and
thoughts of Mr.. Casey's umpiring last season
would be brought to the minds of the visitor:
yesterday at Recreation Park. Those repre-
sentatives of the city where the Liberty bell
was cracked, were pointedly shown where they
were wrong yesterday and it is safe to say that
they were disappointed. Theywer late in get
ting here from Cleveland where life was made
somewhat burthensome for them by the Spi
ders They got here, however, and Jimmy
Calvin with the bloom of youth on his fore
head, was waiting for them. Jimmy was out
for business, and his looks betokened that he
had for the nonce LAID aside the follies and trif-
lings of youth He twas in short prepared for the
gravity of the occasion Of the first visit this
season of the Phillies to this city.
Outward appearances were sadly against the
game, but it is not too much to say that it was
one of the finest games ever played on the
home grounds. 1t was delight 10 see the high
degree Of perfection of almost every play. The
fielding and pitching of the home team were
decidedly first class, while that of the visitors
was almost as good. If the local team could
only sustain yesterdays form for the balance
of the season, most assuredly some of the as
piring champions would be taken down peg
or two. 1t is such display as that of yester-
day that irritates enthusiasts SO extremely at
the sight of such wretched exhibitions as those
against the Washingtons.
THE BEST OF PLAYING.
The general play Of the home team yester-
day was so good that it would be difficult to
particularize anyone. Pop" Smith. however,
deserves all possible credit for his brilliant
fielding. Never man fielded the position Of
short better than did Pop yesterday. In the
third inning he caused something like sensa-
ton by stopping terrific bounder from Casey's
bat and throwing the runner out at first. The
play was remarkable and Smith was cheered
Justify for it. Dunlap also felded exceedingly
well and SO did Hanlon. But Calvin undoubt-
edly carried off the honors of the day. He not
only shut the Quakers out but ne used the
stick to great advantage. He made two hits,
one of which was a corking two-bagger, high
over Fogarty's head. It brought in two runs
and clinched the victory 1t was certainly
Jimmy's day out Miller caught good game
and hit well.
Casey's pitching was tolerably effective until
the last inning. During the preceding innings,
however, hits were not extremely scarce, but
they were well scattered. This prevented run
getting. He, however, weakened in the ninth,
or at least the home players sized him up
pretty comfortably and won with lot 70 spare.
Casey was well supported and probably had the
best catcher in the League receiving for him.
Clements is great catcher, and man must be
up quite early in the morning to tind better.
Fogarty's fielding and that of Thompson was
good. Altogether there was no fault to find
with the Quakers on the score of fielding.
They couldn't hit Calvin hard enough and that
settled it They might have had a run in the
eighth inning had it not been for Schrivers
stupid work on bases.
BAD BASE RUNNING.
He lodged about first base until he was
nearly nabbed. He got there by hit, and
Casey's hit sent him to second. Wood then
knocked up a little fly to Smith, and Schriver
stood away from his base long enough. at
Smith to allow the latter to throw Schriver out
at second. The double play retired the side.
On one or two occasions Casey has become
mark for the home club only at the last
inning. Yesterday was another instance. When
the ninth commenced the score was nothing to
nothing Dunlap led off with a good single to
left field, and Kuehne followed with another
TO right There was plenty of excitement then.
Pop Smith made a sacrifice hit sending
both men a base further on. Jocko Fields
cracked out a short grounder, and before
Hallman could get it into Clements hands
Dunlap hads scored. There was a wrangle
about this, Clements claiming that he touched
Dunlap out The umpire. however. thought
different and his word had to go. Fields was
safe at first and he stole second. Then the
young man from Allegheny who made the
home run at an important stage of the worlds
history stepped up to the plate and thumped
the ball nearly to the centerfeld fence. Casey
looked wearily at Calvin as he plodded to Sec
ond base and Kuehne and Fields scored. Han
Ion got his base on balls, but was forced out by
Sundays short grounder. Beckley then
knocked fly to Schriver, and the side was
retired.
McQuaid umpired satisfactory game. his
judgment on balls and strikes being good. Fol
lowing is the full score:
