MoALL1srER's LUCKY DOUBLE.
1t Saves the Day for Harvard in the
Last Inning.

Last Inning.
III CHER education, or alumni baseball as
one might say, is not 80 very different, after
all, from the crude, untutored village-school
displays sometimes seen at the Haight-
street Park. II there is any difference it
leans toward the graduates, who exploited
themselves in the rich alluvial diamond at
Central Park yesterday afternoon in be-
wilderiBg array of base hits and buDgles.
Harvard hooted and Yale yelled their
hoarse yells and wild la has. Tin horns
footed from the top of the red tally-ho,
while the battle-cry re-echoed across the
park, and from out the chaotic tumult of
sound TIE crimson-clad collegiates downed
their opponents in blue. 1t was red-hot
Garrison finish at the very last moment
and it gave the Harvard boys a hard
earned victory by score of IA to Is, which
IS tolerably good game itself.
Great enthusiasm prevailed when the
HarYards, after long and weary uphill tug
Of two hours and & half, found themselves
at the top of the heap. In fact the en-
thusiasm was SO great it carried McA lister
OF Harvard completely away. 1t was Nc
Allister who won the game with his timely
two-bagger in the last inning. and after it
was all over his enthusiastic c0adjutors
loaded Mr.. McAlister on their tired
shoulders and toted him in triumph around
the park. McAliisIer was the greatest
scholar of them all.
All the young men engaged looked like
real ball-DlayeTs in their natty white suits
trimmed in college colors. The illusion was
only disDelled when some of them got in ac-
ton, However, this made nc difference.
Il has been long time since some OF them
played ball, and they would not have at
tempted 1t Yesterday but for the fact that
the Doctors Daughter has been enjoying
very poor health lately and they wanted to
help her some if they could.
YALE WON THE TOSS.
1t was half-past o'clock when Umpire
Basil Ricketts, of Princeton said ii was time
20 play DaIl. Mr.. Ricketts, wore his regular
clothes and a striped tennis cap, thus show
ing that he at least knew how to dress the
part he umpred strictly impartial game
did Mr. ricketts,, the only difference between
his work and that OF Jack Sheridan being
that his announcements lacked that volume
of tone which has done much to make Mr.
Sheridan famous in the balls and strikes
business.
Yale won the toss, and had the first go
with Magee and LANCE. the Harvard bat
terry. III Magee was aprofessional he would
be called southpaw pitcher, but IS he is
simply graduate of Harvard the announce
ment that he fayors his left hand is sufIi-
Gent. Stanley was the first man who toed
the apparatus, and he lost no time in iolting
n grnuuder down to left field for one bag
Before the opposition could recover from
way around to third.
Booth came next. but unfortunately this
young man selected bat with hole in it.
The ball slid through the aperture three
times, and then Owen tried his luck He
wisely refrained from striking at the ball,
and his patience was finally rewarded with
base on balls. Goodwin sent one to Sec
ond Baseman Howard. and was cleverly
felded out al first. During the excitement
attendant upon this play Stanley and Owen
crossed the plate with two large runs for
their alma mater. Davidson famed out.
Harvard's first appearance at bat was not
of a character to encourage the wearers OF
the red. Twirer Owen, who must have
been taking lessons somewhere, struck out
his contemporary. Mr.. Magee, in truly pro-
fessional style Al Cohen got whack at
the ball. but Mr.. Owen passed il on to first
base before Mr.. Cohen arrived, though he
started as soon as he conveniently could.
Howard damned ON out to center field.
aud LANCE sent nice fly in the same direc-
ton.
HARVARD TED THE SCORE.
A. Haight made most exquisite muff.
