Yale Is the intercollegiate baseball
champion for 1894. That fact was set
tied by the contest OH tho Yale field
yesterday between the Yale and Har-
ward teams, which was finally won by
the wearcrs of the blue by score Of
to 0, after one of the prettiest and
closest games ever seen in this city.
Fully 1000 persons, among whom were
n larger number than usual, even at
commencement, of ladies. The scene
as the field was of the usual commence
ment order, with the exception that
very 4 Harvard men were present,
and thu Ill showing OF crimson bunt-
ing was buried out of sight beneath tho,
preponderancc of Yale blue. The few
Harvard supporters present were ap-
pnrently suffering from severe colds,
and the only "rah, rah, rahsn that wero
audible were those which eminated from
the throats of the happy Yalesians. The
several classes of alumni, headed by
brass bands, were in attendance in large
numbers, and ranged themselves in
squads in the grand stand, on the
bleachers and about the field.
This is how Yale won tho game.
Promptly at o'clock the coin was
tossed into the air. Captain Case OF
Yale won the call and led his sturdy
men into the field. At exactly 3,05
o'clock the game commenced with
Whittemore of Harvard facing the cam
non-ball pitching Of Carter. He hit the
first ball pitched and died an easy VIC
tim ut first. Cook was presented with
u base on balls but was shortly after
ward retired at second on Dickinson's
easy hit to Murphy, who threw to Case.
Corbett was next retired on an easy fly
to Murphy, and the "Reds" went into
the field. For Yale, Rustin went out on !
fly to Wiggin, Murphy died at first by !
Whittemore's assistance and Case fol- |
lowed suit, aided by Dickinson.
In the second inning for Harvard
Scannell famed the wind three times,
and Wiggins performed q similar feat.
Winslow hit an easy grounder to Case,
which the captain fumbled, and the run
ner was safe at first. A moment later
he stole second on high throw by
Greenway, but was caught endeavoring
to purloin the third bag by a fine throw
by Redington. For Yale Carter flew out
to Virgins, Stephenson died at first,
Cook to Dickinson, and Speer shared a.
like fate, Whittemore to Dickinson.
Neither team scored in the third in-
ming, but in the fourth Yale got q man
around the bases, and took the lead.
Murphy flew out to Whittemore, and
Case was retired at the initial bag, High
lands to Dickinson. Carter came along
with nice single, went to second on q
passed ball and scored Of Stephenson's
cracking single to deep center field.
Speer struck out.
In the fifth inning Greenway scored
the second and last run Of the game.
He hit high fly into Beal's territory,
who fell down just as he was about to>
catch the ball and Greenway scampered
to second. He took third on the throw
in and scored on Highlands wild throw
to Cook to catch him mapping. Whitte-
more flew out and Arbuthnot and Rus
tin both died at first.
No more runs were made by either
team and the game closed to in favor
of Yale. The features of the game were
the steady playing of both teams, Yale's
batting and fielding, Beal's pretty
catch Of n short line fly close to the
ground and the strategic pitching Of
Carter. !
