the day. The lanky Yale catapault struck
out eight men and rose to every emergency,

Six hits are credited to the Tigers to the
ten off Altman. The outfields of both teams
played beautifully, keator of Yale carrying
off the laurels with two phenomenal running
catches. The Yale inhed did not play as
sharply as the Tigers, but was steady and
stronger than was expected. Greenway

little Brooks, at shortsto.r. was quicker and
