Polo grounds in the afternoons baseball game

The victory was glorious one. The Bar-

plucky and full Of grit, but they were out

The mighty Highlands outpitched tho
speedy Carter. To be sure. Hnrvard's left
handler didn't strike out as many batsmen as
Yale's twirler. hut he kept the hits scattered
and was steadier at critical points. Carter. how
ever pitched finely. He began by using slow
ball. but as the game grew he put on speed.

work. Then. too. he did not receive the very
best OF support. Bliss badly misjudged two

lively as usual. but his error in the eighth was
fatal.
There was considerable betting, most Of the
wagers being laid ut evens. But the great
mass of Harvard men. having lost heav-

still and hope for victory. The receipts

the balance to be equally divided between the
two college baseball associations.
