| ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prsPArcH.l
CAMBRIDGE, June 23-When big, good
| natured Jack Highlands stalked across the
| diamond at the close of to-day's great con-
test between the representatives of Harvard
and Yale he was oheered by thousands who
| had watched with admiration his strategic
handling of the ball, and when they saw
him stop and kiss a matronly looking wo-
man, whose eyes were moist with tears OF
gladness, the crowd cheered again. 1t has
been great triumph for Harvard's wonder
full pitcher, and he received enough fatter-
ing applause to turn the head of any man
with less common sense, Yet he bore his
honors modestly, and by his graceful saluta-
tion of his admiring mother be established
himself even more firmly in the esteem of
his fellow students
Big Highlands Won the Game.
The great victory over Yale to was
due more to the wonderful pitching Of
Highlands than to any other agency. True
he was given perfect support by Mason,
whose work behind the bat was of the high
est order. Such support naturally gave the
pitcher confidence and he shot the ball
across the plate with all the speed which
his mighty left arm could command. Mason
was obliged to brace himself to meet every
ball that came, but to his credit it must be
said that none got by him. With such a
battery turned against them, what wonder
is it that the Yale men broke and fed.
Their batsmen were moved down like grass.
Fifteen of them lacerated the air in vain at
tempt to find the ball, but so swift was its
flight that it was safely lodged in Mason's
big glove before the bat began its sweep.
For six innings the Yale men retired dis
comfted in one, two, three order, except in
one instance, when Bliss got his base on
balls and reached thiEd on steal and an ex-
cusable muff Of thrown ball by Hovey.
A Long Hit That Didn't Count
In the seventh inning, after two men had
struck out, Case lined the ball to right field
mediately atterward, the hit was of no
avail. That was the only thing that looked
like safe hit on the Yale side of the play.
The mere fact that only three Yale men saw
first base during the entire game emphasizes
their helplessness In the fifth inning Bliss
reached first on a somewhat e1cusable
tumble bv Dickinson, but he had hardly
had time to hitch his trousers when he was
caught mapping by the willy Highlands and
run down between the bases Little wonder
was it, therefore, that Highlands received
the lions share of the praise and all the
other players surrendered their less promi-
nent claims in favor of the big pitcher with
out any bitterness or jealousy.
Such q reception as Harvard gave the
Yale ball tossers to-day might be considered
a serious casus belli in diplomatic circles.
They Had Been on the Outs.
For a wear there has been strained rela-
tions between the two colleges, as every
Harvard and Yale man knows full well, on
account of some misunderstanding in az
ranging for the games last season between
Haryard-Ya and Princeton, and as re-
suit no games were played between Har-
ward and Yale or Harvard and Princeton
last year.
The encounter was not entirely bloodless,
either for in the last half of the second inning
Catcher Carter, of the Yale nine, received
a serious injury in a collision, the result of
which cannot be definitely foretold. In slid
ing to tine plate Hallowell's head struck
him full in the face, and he dropped
ming, the third, Carter took his place be-
hind the bat being loudly checred for his
pluck. When back again on the bench the
crowd noticed that he began to nc: strangely,
and when two doctors went to his assistance
they knew that he was more seriously in
jured than was at first supposed His nose
had been fractured by the collision, and one
or both of the nasal arteries had been rup-
cured. In halt ap hour 1t was thought best
to removs him from the field. He became
violent when ne reached the carriage which
was to carry MIN to the hotel. Tonight he
was resting more quietly. The score:
