The morning call., 1892-11-20
WON IN THE NINTH.
Harvard Saved the Game by One
Untidy Tally.

It was really too bad that III. II. Haight,
Yale's talented third bagman, should lose
his large collegiate head at a critical stage
in the contest. But he did-yes, he did
and Yale lost beautiful game of ball by
score of u to IL.
1t was well into the evening when this
result was announced. but the Harvard
men, already hoarse with bowling, yelled
some more, turned large flock of red
balloons loose in the azure sky, blew their
horns again, mounted their taily-hos and
rode off In triumph through the cleaning
Last year Harvard defeated Yale In the
great charity game and are now fairly en-
titled to the championship. Both teams
played an excellent game, consid ering the
lack of practice apparent in the efforts of
some OF the athletes.
In the opening chapters before they got
their baseball legs on, as it were. some in
tensely amateurish plays were made. but
they were naturally expected. Later on
Harvard evened up matters and in the
eighth tied the score. Then the band did play
as 1t had not played before and the wearers
Of the red plucked up hope. Another
splurge like that and their fayorItes would
land on top.
Yale had the opening inning and took the
tallies before hand was retired and mat
tiers looked blue for the men in red. T. L.
Owen, Yale's pitcher, startled the populace
by rapping out home run with two men On

chimney pots of the early growth summer
cottages contiguous to the park and then
walked around the circuit wearing a large
effulgent smile.

To the presence of G. StalIngs-agile
George of San Jose-was due the victory
which fell to the lot Of the Harvard men.
George wore the mask and mitt, coached
the men In the team and besides gave So
cicty practical illustration of how to travel
on ones shape.
Mr.. Stallings' daring base-stealing was
the feature of the affair. He purloined no
less that seven sacks, sliding all the way
from twelve to eighteen feet at each theft.
But then he received large pieces of money
for his services. and spectacular sack
stealing was naturally expected of George.
Yale employed the services OF John Ruth

to handle the delivery OF Owen.
