 Game at Yale Field Yesterday After. noon.
 About eevsnty-fve freshmen watched
 their class nine play its first home game with the Brown freshmen yesterday after
 noon. Yale had Kestor in the box In the
 first inning, with DeForest for back stop,
 and the Brown battery was composed of Brady and Gurney. Both the pitchers are
 Varsity substitutes. Yale opened the , game with one run, but when their oppo- nents came In they scored three, and 1t looked as though the game wss going to be
 farce, for the visiting team landed on Keator without trouble, and the Yale boys played @ most miserable game. But after this they braced up and went in to win shutting out their opponents for the res' of the game. They were unable to bal , Brady with any success, making but four hits. three of which wer. , by Jerrem., and only added on, to their own score until the las , inning. Then the Brown youngsters wen to pieces, and three runs were scored on
 number of errors, winning the game by
 score of to 3. After the second innini McCsndless was put in the box in Kestor' , place and did much better. The feature of the game were the batting of Jsrrems
 the pitching of Brady and Quimby's gres base running.
