THE NATIONAL GAME.

Good Game Between she New Ha-
 vens and the Amhersts - Cahtll
 Catches and Makes an Excellent Im-
 pressiOn.
 Those who did not see yesterdays game missed treat, for it was very pretty con- test on both sides. The final score was to 5. The day was quite raw, and that un- doubtedly kept many away. But it did not prevent ex-Governor Bigelow and W. W. Converse from being present. Tim Keefe of the New Works has been coachingi the col lege boys, and he has done good work. They would give Yale a hard tussle. Sex ton pitched good game for them, which was due to the fact that the New Ravens had been up before some poor pitchers the day before.
 CahilI made his first appearance with the New Ravens. He has been in active training on the University of Pennsylvania college team and is, therefore, in excellent condi- ton. He is short, and a little broad. His throwing to bases was one of the features of the game. He sends the ball to baseman with a wrist movement and is in much bet ter condition-owing to his train1ng-than any other New Haven catcher. He is also hard hitter and did the best batting for the home team yesterday.
 The Amhersts could not hit the ballimueh, although Lally was ouly tossing them over dition, but when the warm weather throws his arm out he will be one of the best pitch- CTS in the league. He is one of the swiftest pitchers in the country, and, when working his swift and slow curves, is most effective pitcher.
 en up yesterday. Corcoran is not able to play, and Manager Spence had to give up on account of being spiked week ago. He limps some, and his leg is very badly swollen. His absence was felt yesterday. Sexton made frequent illegal deliveries of the ball, but no one of the New Ravens had the gumption to question it. And then there WAS no coaching.
 The New Ravens excelled both at the bat and in the field. The home team made but one error, and that was by Sheehan, who let a hard drive go through him. Had he got the ball the side would have been retired without run, and they got three. The error, however, was excusable.
 Brady made a brilliant throw out at first base from right field, and Sullivan made an excellent stop at short of an apparently safe hit. The home team again gave an excellent exhibition of base running, excepting Walsh, who acted tired and got thrown out twice be- cause he failed to slide. Brady's base steal ing astonished the crowd.
 Neither side scored until the fourth inning. Lally got to first on Browns error, and got third on Oahill's nice two base hit over the third bag. Galligan's single sent both men home. Galligan stole second, got home on Walsh's hit, which Hare let go through him. Walsh got second on the throw in, and scored on an error. In this inning the base running was the feature.
 In the next inning, the sixth, New Haven made one more on single by Brady, and his brilliant base running. Lally got first on 8 single but got left.
 Amherst got three runs in this inning on a put out, base on balls, an error, followed by a safe hit.
 New Haven got one more in the ninth on Cahill's single, a steal. passed ball and Walsh's sacrifice. The following is the score:
