MAY dispatch that President Harrison
has recently decided that in certain con-
tingencies he will write letter declining
a denomination. These contingencies
are: First, if the present opposition
within the republican party to Mr.. Har-

next spring, he will withdraw; second,
if Mr.. Blaine shall be well and strong
enough to take the nomination, and the
party's demand for him continues as
strong and sincere as it appears at the
present time, Mr.. Harrison will with
draw; third, if Mr.. Blaine, having suhi-
cent health and strength, should be will
ling to take the nomination, Mr.. IIarri-

Mr.. Harrison can safely assume that if
Mr.. Blaine's health is good and he thinks
he can get elected he will seek the nomi-

A YALE AND HARVARD CAME.
How 1t Was Unexpectedly Won In the
Last Inning.

OF all games In which l have played,
the most remarkable for sudden re-
vulsion of feeling was one between
Harvard and Yale played upon Jarvis
Field. in June of 1882.
Yale went first to the bat but failed
to score. Harvard followed suit In
the second inning, muff by the Har-
ward iirst-base man followed by the
Yale catcher's making ''two-bagger"
hit gave Yale n run. Our happiness
was short-lived. however for in the
third inning Harvard made two runs,
followed by another in the fifth. Yale
scored one in the seventh, but Harvard
matched it with one in the eighth. SO
that we began the ninth with Harvard
four TO Yale's two. i think we had
not the least hope of winning.
remember feeling, as we came in
for the ninth inning. that this defeat
would settle our chances of the cham
pionship. and think how the crowd of
boys who, as | knew, were sitting on
the Yale fence awaiting the news, would
hear it and dwindle away in silence to
their rooms. Our first man at the bat
ia the ninth inning went out quickly;
and eur catcher followed, with the
same result. Wilcox, the last man on
our batting list, came to the bat. Two
men out, two runs to reach even tie,
and three to win! l noticed that the
crowd was leaving the field, and that
the young rascal who had charge of
cur bats was putting them into the
bag.
Here, you! stop thatw cried /, for
we all were superstiuous about pack
ing up the bats before the last man was
out. Besides, was the next batter, if
Wilcox should by any chance reach his
base, and | wanted my bat. "TW o
strikes" heard the umpire call, and
then at the next ball. to my great JOY,
Take your base" and Wilcox trotted
away to first. l remember thinking
how much would give for home
run, and then there came good ball
just off my shoulder and / hit it with
all my power. 1t went between third
and short-stop on n swift drive but
bounded high, as afterward learned,
for | was meanwhile running at my
best speed toward first. When | was
fifteen feet from that base. | saw the
baseman give tremendous jump up
into the air and / knew somebody had
made an overthrow. How / ran then!
for every base | passed l knew was
one nearer to tying the score. AS
came dashing past third-base, l saw
Wilcox just ahead of me. and we
crossed the home-plate within three
feet of each other. Our next batter
took his base on poor pitching and
stole second; the next followed with a
base-hit past second which brought the
first runner home with the winning
run. We then went into the field, put
three Harvard men out and won the
game-when probably half the seven
thousand spectators were already on
their way home with victory for
Harvard in their minds. Walter Camp
