NEW YORK, July 1.-Crimson badges
and banners are at premium tonight.
The hilarious students from Harvard
university are will to pay any price
for them. Their plucky base ball nine
conquered blue-legged Yale at the Polo
grounds i'll this afternoons game, and
won the college championship. The
victory was a glorious one. The Har-
wards played with snap and vim that
reminded one of the famous champion
team Of 1885. They 1ielded cleanly,
and what Is more, hit the ball
at the right time. The Yales were
plucky and full of grit, but they were
outplayed. The mighty Highlands out
pitched the speedy Carter. To be sure,
Haryard's left-hander did not strike
out as many batsmen as Yale'S twirler,
but 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
lie put on speed, so that at the finish he
really did his best work. Then, too, he
did not receive the best OF support.
Life of Harvard's Play.
"SIugger' M ason and Shortstop Sui
livan were heroes in conjunction with
big Jack Highlands. Mason not only
caught pluckily, in view of his recent
injuries, but he batted hard, ran bases
like deer, and was the real life of
HoTUard'C nloW Sniliuan L,,
the hit that really broke Yale's
heart. 1t came in the shape
of rafting two-bagger in the
fourth inning, with three bases filled,
and sent in three runs. Highlands, be-
sides pitching effectively, filled his po-
sitiOn superbly. Kedzie caught excel
lently, while Murphy, Case and Speer
led Yale in batting. Arbuthnot, while
not having much to do, captured diff
cult grounder from Cooks bat in the
ninth, and tielded the Harvard man out
on pretty throw. Little Murphy was
as lively as usual, but his error in the
eighth was fatal.
There was considerable betting, most
Of the wagers being laid at evens. But
the great mass OF Harvard men. having
lost heavily on the boat race, preferred
to SIT still and hope for victory. The
receipts were large, owing to the high
rates of admission charged. The money
above expenses Will be divided as fol-
lows: Twenty-Five per cent to the New
York Base Ball club, and the balance to
be equally divided between the two
college base ball associations.
Yale's Contingent
was upon the right hand side of the
grand sta nd, with Harvard OH the left.
Flags and StreamerS of both blue and
crimson made the big douflle-decker
look like huge millinery store. The
lovely girls were there, some SYM
phonies in blue, others in fiaring red.
They were anxious and expectant.
When the rafting cheering began
they joined with a will. No inter-
collegiate struggle can be sue
cesstul without the assistance of the
girls. And the undergraduates were
on hand. too, from the InnOcent-appear-
ing freshmen to the austere and learned
seniors. Then, of course, the alumni
were conspicuous with their anecdotes
of olden time and their tales of strug-
giles lost and won. WHY'S Terry, of
Yale, looked on awith earnestness.
Clarence Smith, the old Harvard player
took off his coat and batted grounders
to the Harvard in-fielders during the
practice. Billy Bull, of Yale football
ia me; Pop Bliss and Mccormack, of
last years Yale eleven; Sumner Paine,
Harry Bates, the eX-Harvord pitcher;
Harry Wood, also an ex-Harvard player;
w. w. Willard, and other lovers of tn e
crimson. wife eager watching the
goings on.
Harvard Appears.
At O'Clock big tally-ho drove into
the ground amid volley of Harvard
cheers. 1t carried the Cambridge nine.
Big Highlands lowered above his play
mates like the giant in the dime muse
um. They stopped in the far left field
for batting practice, facing the cannon
ball shoots of Ed Crane. Then,
ran in a body across the field
to their bench, while forest of GRIM
son flags futtered on all sides. Their
preliminary practice was clever and
elected continued applause. Mason,
the bruised catcher, wore big plaster
over his left eye, but that did noi deter
him from grabbing all the balls thrown
to the plate. Hallowel, the center
fielder, who has been suffering from a
bad ankle, was discovered in his old
plsee amid increased excitement.
While the Harvards were tossing the
ball around a crowd of young men
dressed in gray and blue entered the
gate at the right field corner of the
grounds. As they advanced, the quick,
snappv Yale cheer broke upon the air
from the trembling rooters. The afore-
said young men were the Yale ball
players. and they looked like race
horses going 20 the post. The angular
Carter chewed mis- cud of tutti frutti
