Before an audience of 1000, the largest
that has Witnessed ball game in New Ha-
ven in good many years., Yale won q
closely contested game from Harvard yes
terdsy afternoon at Yale field. The gaps
in hoarse chorus made by the departure
of many of the undergraduates was COM
psnssted TOR by the gruffer, If less uni
soned, VOICES of the alumni attending COM
mencement week. Blue ribbons and flags
made continuous diamond-shsped blue
belt about the players. A fair-sized dele
cation of Harvard men were present ready
to bet or cheer for the crimson. They
offered odds of So to 81 and s. to IS on
their team.
The crowd began to gather at 1 O'Clock
and waited patiently till little after 8,
when the game opened.
Harvard went to bat first, confident in
their late victory. They put up fine
game, but lacked the pluck to play losing
game that is the distinguishing feature Of
the playing of the blue. The cheering was
| tumultuous. In the eighth inning High
lands refused to pitch until the cheering
was stopped. He and Hovey sat on the
| ground tossing the ball to each other, while
from bleachers and grand stand the rooters
sang Bye, baby, Harvard" 49,.
Bowers pitched tho game of his life.
He worked the corner of the base with ire
mendous effect. Young failed when he
ran against the heavy-hitting Harvard
team by throwing the ball across the plate,
Besides pitching for a hard-hitting team
his support was weakened by the loss OF
Rustin and Carter. Bowers certainly
pitched a phenomenal game. Highlands
was not so effective as in the game at Har.
ward. Captain Murphy, Bsall and Har
wards twirler led in the batting. Harvey
fielded brilliant but cratic game. Hi
two errors cost two runs.
In the first inning Hallowel got his bast
on balls and stole second. rockingham

Bowers threw three balls in the secont
inning, each of which the batter hit ant
went out. Yale died in one, two, thre
order. In the third and fourth inning
neither side got man to second. In tn

Traford made hit, got second on Cor
belts sacrifice, third on a wild pitch ant
attempted to come home on Cobb

Kedzie hit to the pitcher and was feldei
out. jackson fell victim to Highlands
speed. Murphy made hit, Beall followe'

him out, Yale's arguments to the contrar,
Notwithstanding.

, minutes or more before renewing the play
