AT THE YALE FEEL D.


 Yale Defeats Columbia-A Game or
 Many Errors - Yale Tries . New
 Pitcher -The Score.
 Yale succeeded in vanquishing Columbia, another of her rivals, at the field yesterday afternoon by the score of 12 to 3. The game was rather uninteresting because of the frequent and costly errors on both sides, none of Ysle's runs being earned. The greatest interest to the college men was the appear ance of Ridgewsy in the box for his first game. He is the new man who short time since entered the sophomore class from the Northwestern university. In the opinion of Stagg he is the coming pitcher for Yale. His work was very creditable with the exception of the eighth inning. when Columbia took . with total of six, and bringing in two earned runs. The Columbia team showed cad lack of practice by series of the most barbarous errors that allowed runs to be scored two at time. In base running Yale was, as usual, daring, with sixteen stolen bases to her credit, but at times the attempts were reckless and in a championship game would have been uncalled for. Columbia led in the DattlnR, Wltn total or teu Dases 1alo seemed slow with the stick for some reason or other, and many of the old timers were minus their customary long drives to the vicinity of the two running tracks. In the last half of the seventh Mayham, the Columbia pitcher, was struck in the shin by @ stinging not liner from Owsley and forced to retire. His place in the box was taken by Chambliss, and Smith, light-hsired boy, finished the game behind the bat. About the prettiest feature of the game was beautiful one hand catch of swift line drive. The attendance was about 400. The score is as follows:

THE FEMALE PRDnsrnIArs.

About Two Hundred Spectators Wit.
 ness she ssaft-The Different Con.
 testants-Considerable Interest in she
 Race.
 About two hundred people were present at the New Haven polo rink last night at o'clock to see the start made In the female pedestrian race. There were eight entries in the race; but three of them, Nisses Moulton, Davis and Sterling, did not arrive in time to start at 2, as they missed the train in Phila- until late. The Ave ladies who started last night are far different set than those who figured in the last women's contest held here. They are more modest and comely in ap- pearance and arc better ''psds" in every re- spect. The one who claimed the most inter- ess from the audience is Miss Bertie Law renee, who is the smallest of tho coterie. She claims the championship of the country and undoubtedly has good hold on that title. Evans, who; 1t will be remembered, was the winner of the last female pedestrian race held in this city. Her number is 1 and che says she will carry it over the finish line first.
 No. 3 is Miss -Aggis Harvey. She was the WAau0I Ol d C0'uOuI Id00 III EltbSDufR Ia6G winter and took third money in the female bicycle race lately held in Madison Square Garden. She rode this under the name of Maggie MeShane. She is considered the "dark horse" in the race.
 Miss Clara Bell, No. 3, claims Pittsburg, Pa., as her home. She has run in several races and is the winner of quite a number It iSevident from the way she followed Miss Lawrence last night that she will crowd the favorite before the week is over.
 Miss Nellie Brooks, No. 4, is new as ps- destrian, but gives promise of becoming an important factor in the race before the week is over. She halls from Allegheny, Pa. Miss Mamie Emmett, No. 5, claims the championship of Connecticut, and thinks she will give all her competitors hard tus- sle for first place. She belongs in Water bury and has participated in several races. It was evident from the way the contest ants hustled last night that good time will be made. All the 'peds" are in for first place, and there promises to be some good running before 1t ends. The race is twen- ty-hour one. five hours night. and is run
 between the hours of 7 and 12. When the three other entries arrive Mir. Bancroft will | let them start even with the last one, which gives them all fair show. Half the receipts will be given to the walkers, divided as fol-
 lows: $27, $20, $15, $12, $10, $S, $5, $3. All will receive something for their work. At the end of the first hour the score was

ANew Electric Light PIant.

The New Haven Electric company have decided to establish another lighting plant in the downtown section of the city. No location has yet been decided on, but it will probably be somewhere on the water front, where coal can be received direct, without the necessity of carting. Probably the arc light dynamos will be operated from the new plant and the old plant on George street, which the company owns, will be used large 1y for incandescent lighting. The move is prompted by tho rapidly increasing business of the company.

 First Game of she Series-WOrcesser
 Unable Go Find the Ball at the Right
 Time and are Defeated Rather Easily
 -Full Account of the Game and Notes
 of Interest to Readers-Yale Defeats
 COlumbia and the Orange Streets arc
 once More Victorious.
 The local ball team strengthened it's hold on eecond place yesterday afternoon by de- feating the Worcester team by a score of 8 to 4. This is the first time that these teams have met this season and there has been much, speoulating as to what the result would be, but happily enough 1t was vie- tory for New Haven. The weather was rather threatening and it had the effect of keeping quite number absent, but when Umpire Mahoney called play there were nearly 1, ,500 people present.
 New Haven jumped on the visitors at the start and piled up six runs before they were retired. It seemed to demoralize the Woroesters, although they played good uphill game from then on. The lead obtained by the local team had the effect of partly killing the interest fin the game, but Cudworth, the captain of the visitors, kept the crowd in good humor by his funny antics, and after the first two in. nings he settled down and pitched good ball, giving the home team only two hits in the last seven innings. Doran did the pitching for New Haven and evidently did not exert himself much after the first four innings He did good work nevertheless, and what hits the visitors did get were scattered toe much to do any harm. Schoeneck at usual lead at the bat with three hits, two singles and double. The whole of the New Haven team played good ball, and although they made as many errors as the visitors they were mostly excusable.
 Petit did good work in the field but had rather hard luck at the bat. Mckee again demonstrated his ability as bal player yesterday by retiring six men on fy put outs, and reachins first baa' every time he :. came to the bat He worked Stafford for first bas' four times yesterday, but was left on tn bases each time.
 Taken all in all it was good, fair game and although the plays were not of the brill liant order the people left the grounds wei l satisfied with the result.
