John Garrison. BostOn's famous pitcher. has done
much hard work to bring out the good points in Har
wards teams, but the crimson is not successful as
Carkson thinks ought TO have been. II is said that
in one great game between Yale and Harvard the
crimson felt Of winning, and TO help cheer up
his youngsters Garrison went out and sat upon the
players bench with them. The Harvard boys were
the first upon their field and their brilliant work In
preliminary practice fairly electrified the spectators.
The crimson men played with the ease, brilliancy,
dash and abandon of professionals. Such work by
an amateur team was never before seen. and the
friends Of Yale were downhearted smile Of great
gadess overspread Carksons face and the followers
Of Harvard thought Yale would be trampled in the
dust The Harvard men finished their work flushed
and happy, and went and sat the players benches
already heroes and conquerors in the eyes Of the
multitude. Clarkson smiled upon his charges with
fatherly pride.

The college boys have more friends among the
general public which has no alma mater, than prob
ably all the other colleges combined. This is I'M
aoubtedy largely due to the fact that the general
populace admires winner and that Yale seldom
takes "back seat in manly sports. Then the In
domitable push and determination which character
ze Yale men in everything they undertake naturally
cause admiration and make friends for the wearers OF
the blue. The Yale boys are never beaten until the
last has been put out, or the winning post mas
been passed. They hang on TO their opponents with
the tenacty of bulldogs, but acknowledge defeat Win
an easy grace once they are beaten
YaIe's baseball prospects two months ago did not
look bright to a casual observer, and some foolish
critics put themselves ON record that Yale had AN ex
tremey weak nine, and that ii would have no chance
this year Stage. the old standby pitcher, had left
college and the team weak in other respects.

Then a mighty shout went up as the Yale men, IN

The third and final game of the series between Yale
and Princeton will be played at Manhattan Field next
Saturday. and a big crowd will turn out to see the
battle. As the game will be played on neutral
grounds the contest will be worth going miles 70 see

Speaking of college baseball. old college player
once said:
@Up 10 1853 collegiate baseball had been in very
crude state for from numerous challenges were wont
10 result only a few sporadic games. and even these
poorly PLAYED and Astounding In wordy discussions
Reasons for this were not far seek. The principle
Everything to gain and nothing to lose was the sole
prompter of challenges and there was nothing 10
obhge the acceptance of any such challenge the ma
Iorty resulted in little but words. One college nine
would not accept the challenge OF rival nine unless
quite confident OF successful issue, and no chaehge
would have been sent without an equal amount Oh con-
fdence behind it. When both these conditions ex-
listed and a game actually played this very ele
ment Of former confidence caused the more intense
nvary and left the btterest feelings TO rane In the
hearts Of the defeated party.
Nor was this the only bad result. nine hav
Ing succeeded in defeating its rivals would refuse TO
play again, and this almost invariably led TO news
paper discussions and mutual determinations of the
most rshd kind BAH playing with ans purpose
would end in the very midst Of the season. because Of
the utter impossibiity Of arranging return games
and with only halfslson work. no wonder that really
good ball playing was the exception and not the rule

Of baseball supremacy among college mines could
never be fairly settled for any one season. and many

Such criticisms had apparent effect upon the
college boys unless it TO make them practise
harder than ever and to play with even more vigor
and determination than usual. Then Bowers, Stages
successor was said to be nice fellow" but 1t was
hardly believed that he would prove TO be more than
an ordinary pitcher. When Harry" Bates, Harvards
pitcher was mentioned, Yale felt cold shvers run
down their backs.
But the bare mention Of Young, Princeton's raw
boned Kentucky pitcher, made the followers OF fale
feel blue all over. Young was said to be pitching the
finest game ever pitched by college man, and men
who made this assertion knew what they were talking
about for they had seen them all, from Jumping
Jacks Jones down to Freshman Drake. so when the
first of the series Of games TO be played at New
Haven between Yale and Princeton, the followers OF
the bue lost their usual confidence and were glum Tor
the first time In years.
A crowd Of enthusiastic Prncetonans accompanied
their team TO New England and had their pockets well
Lined with Uncle Sans greenbacks. Yale money
was scarce and when Yale man posted bet he dld

through superior baseball ability. The blue was cool

ATTACKED BY i MAD SAILOR.
Desperate Encounter in an Open Boat
or the English Coast.
special to TnE woRLD.l

LONDON, September IA startling
story comes from Deal Kent; a seaside
town near the southern extremity Of
the Downs, eight miles from Dover.
Loud cries for help mingled with oaths
and curses, were heard early this morns
ing some distance seward, and almost
directly off the town of Deal. Two
local policemen Immediately entered a
boat and put to sea in order to inquire
into the mysterious cries. The police
however had been preceded and dis
tanced BY two Deal boatmen, who also
wenttotheir rescue. The boatmen found
boat Of the ship G.. L. Waters and
witnessed a horrible fight which was
gong on in the small craft. Crouch
ing in the stern of the boat was her
captain, holding little boy in his left
arm, and a young sailor, both desper-
ately defending themselves against
the attack Of another man. The lat
ter2was an athletic seaman mad drunk,
who was attacking the captain and
the young sailor with his sheath knife.
Upon the approach of the boatmen
The drunken seaman threw the oars
overheard, attacked them with his
knife and refused te allow them to
rescue the occupants of the small boat.
The mad seaman beat off the boatmen.
and later on also beat off the police
who came upon the scene. The result
was that the ships boat was allowed
70 drift away in the mist, and even
tually disanneared
