 Team one Peg Lower In she Race. Yale came out victorious in the game with New Haven at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon and the oolleei ans are now the champions of the city, hav- ing won two out of the three games which havebeen played between thsse two teams. A had than was yesterday and fully 2,00O peo- ple witnessed the contest. One MT. Thomas Reilly of Meriden, made bluff at umpiring the game and through his ''rank" decisions Yale was hslped to win. As an umpire Mir. Reilly is Moss Agate and some of the de. cisions that he made yesterday were enough to make person freeze on the spot. He WAS hard on Yale as well as on New HaveE, but then he probably did the best he could.
 The game from the start was close and ex- citing and only decided at the eleventh hour as it was. Yale outbAtted New Haven, but sharp fielding by the professionals kept the collegians guessing until the seventh inning when they scored their first runs. New Haven could not hit Stagg to any extent, Lallv being about the only one who gauged his delivery, although Petit touched him up for two singles. Poole caught him well, al though his arm was in bad shape McClung played good game at short for Yale, ,accept- ing his eight chances without an error. Mcbride at first gobbled up everything and i, Iorcnhidn fhraa oino1aa tUo nf them bringing in three runs. All through the game the Yale boys played to win and to say that their supporters were immensely
 tickled when they left the ground would be
 putting it mildly. It was 8 great victory for Yale, but they probably can't do it
 again.
 Doran occupied the box for New Haven.
 had speeded them up after one or two men
 were out, Yale would not have had so many
 hits. Doran has been worked pretty hard of
 late, however, and his work on the whole
 was good. Little "Chic" HoAord caught
 him in fine shape and threw to the bases
 we'll. His error was @ missed third strike,
 which hardly no catcher could have gotten,
 as it was low wild one, and Stagg struck at it on purpose. Mckee played well in left,
 assisting in pretty double in the sixth. His drop of 8 fly was excusable, as 1t was close to the left field fence. Petit and Doyle did good work, Connie's work being especially sharp and clean. Lang had two errors, one of which was excusable and the other did no damage. The trouble with the team Is not the fielding, it is tho batting, and in this respect New Haven must l improve for unless they do they are liable to toboggan gracefully to the bottom.
 The game was not without Its features, ,one of which was quite laughable. It was in the seventh inning that the amusing event oc. cured A high foul fly was hit over toward
 the bleaehers and Hoffard ran for it. A small boy stood watching it come down and was nearly scared
 out of his clothes to see it suddenly make a bee line for him. The youngster, however, made up his mind what to do quickly. He threw himself fiat on the ground on his l stomach and covered up his head, seeming to | think that If his head was covered up he was l all right, but he was mistaken. The ball never swerved from it's course; but came down heavily and landed with a dull thud on the seat of his trousers. Evidently he | was not hurt, for picking himself up quickly he disappeared around the grand stand with | a kind of "I'll- never er-sit-down-again," look.
 Everybody, ladies and all, l,kshouted with laughter at the comical sight:
 1 In the third inning McClintock made e l pretty catch of @ fly after he had run into the rope at the audience line. In the seventh | inning Owsley in sliding to second base threw up his foot and cut Pettit in the face
 with his spike, suspendipg play for while. Neither side scored in the first three in-
 nings, but in the first half of the fourth New Haven commenced to tally. Mckee reached | first on balls. Petit bunted the ball to Owe- 1 ley, and that individual neatly threw it over l McBride's head and when 1t was returned to l Stagg tho runners occupied second and first. l Schoeneck flew out to Dalzell and Mckee was put out in trying to make home on the play. Petit stole third. Lauman hit safely and Petit scored the first run. Lally did likewise and Lauman moved up to third. He | came home on passed ball and Lally went l to third and came home on @ wild pitch. This ended the run-getting as Doyle struck | out.
 No more runs were made until the seventh when Yale scored twice. McClintock reached | second on McKee's error and took third on Lang's. Owsley brought him home with . ! hit Owsley was thrown out at second. Stagg reached second on Hofford missing his third strike and came home on McBride's | single
 New Haven scored one in the first half of the ninth and then Yale went in and won | the game. Poole hit safely and MoClintock followed with two bsgger. Staeg hit a grounder 10 Pettit and he threw the ball home but the runner was safe as he threw | too high. Stagg stole second and both came home on MoBride's single to right, winning
 the game and setting their partisans nearly
 crazy with joy.
