DEFEATED THE LAWYERS
Columbian University 0ulp Iayed
the Barristers From Yale.
CLOSE CALL INTHE SEVENTH
Visitors Batted Well, But Fielded
Poor-DalZeIl Played Al Brilliant
Game-His Catch of Foul Fly De-
stroyed YaIe's Chances to Win
The Hidden Ball Trick Worked.

The disciples OF Blackstone, Chitty and
KCut from Old Ell, who for short season
have laid aside the green bag and gown
for sweaters and abbreviated trousers,
met The Columbian University club at
Capitol Park yesterday afternoon and got
the worst of the argument.
Ii was Il close contest, however and the
LAWYERS evidenced that while they had
been studying how TO accumulate clients
and separate them from their money i'll the
shape of fees they had not neglected TO
con the lessons Of the great national game.
The trouble with the lawyers is an ap-
parently uncomfortable desire TO throw the
ball in every direction when they get hold or
il in play. They act as if they wanted
10 rid themselves OF the sphere as soon as
possible and are disposed 10 fire 1t at
anybody who happens be standln garound.
Then again they have a first baseman
who covers the bag on the installment plan.
The embryo barriSter had oleomargerine
on his NIT and gave a splendid exhibition
OF how n OF TO play the position
The all-Iound work of the club was fair
and had the Y kept together better al critical
times the score might have been different.
Sanford, the Yale left fielder, is one OF
the crack sprintcrs of the country and his
base running was splendid feature.
The New Haven boys arrived in the city
Yesterday morning, travelling like princes
ia Mr.. Chauncey Depew's private palace
car, which was placed at their disposal
for the Southern trip.
The club will remain in the city until
Monday night. They will play George
town this afternoon, at Georgetown field
ana Monday afternoon will meet the Cath
oIic University team. Returning, they VIII
play Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, Tuesday.
INCIDENTS OF THE GAME.
The attraction OF a visiting varsity club
and pretty afternoon drew large crowd
TO The park. 1t was easv 10 assume from
the roofing that Columbians friends had
turned out in full force.
The Columbians had for mascot little
woody white and tan dog, whose coat was
bedecEed with orange and blue ribbon
bows and streamerS. The gaudy canine
did not enter heartily into the spirit OF
the sport and had 10 be held on the players
bench by main force. Doggie seemed to
think that he was being made u martyr
to an idioSyncracy.
TIE game looked very dubious from a
Columbian standpoint in the first half OF
the seventh inning Up TO that ucHllsh
time the locals had easy sailing and II
appeared as If they would win hands down
But in the seventh, the visitors struck
a streak OF batting, while the Columbans
turned their talents to ma king errors.
As a natural consequence the lawyers piled
Up the scores and were not stopped until
they had registered five times, which put
them within one or the total tallies to
the credit OF the orange and blue.
The scare had a good effect on the home
| boys and in the succeeding innings theS
/ played steady ban and effectively blocked
/ their guests efforts 10 reach The plate
The fielding honorS of the game belong
/ 10 Sammy DalZcll. He made a beautiful
/ catch of a twisting foul in the eighth
inning that put an end TO Yale's chances
/ 10 score, and he also figured on the hot
end or double play with Beard.
Capt. Greene worked hard all the time
and his neat sacrifice hit in the first in,
! ming brought in the initial run for his
club.
The battery work of Beard and Fugitt
was very even. Beard used Il slow, tar
! talizing drop bali that was puzzling 10 tn,
/ barristers. ICY Young Cummings, tie
/ big Columbian twirler was assigned to
right field for TINS game, as he was sore
from being struck by a pitched bah il
the Gallaudet series.
Mills at second, Beall at short and Good
/ fellow ana Shaw in the outfied handled
/ their chances cleanly, With the one eX
! ception of Mills excuSable error on a
very hot hit TO his territory. Senators
! Mcclure. Cartwright and De Montreville
were interested spectators ard Senator Jack
| Gnroy umpircd an impartial and Satisfac
tory game.
HOW THE RUNS WERE MADE.
Yale went to bat in tie first inning and
scored on Hamlin's base on balls, twC
| outs and Martins single. For Columbian
! Beall reached first on an error, was forced
! TO second by Shaw'S base on balls, and
scored on Greene'S sacrifice.
Both teams were blanked in the second
| and third innings.
Yale added a run in the fourth, ant
| Columbian went them three better on
singles by Mills, Goodfeliow, Cummings
! and Beall, the first three scoring.
Yale was blanked in the fifth. The
| COlumbians increased their total 10 fiv,
| on Dalzelrs three-bagger and Greene
| out at first.
The visitors were shut out again in THEN
| half OF the sixth. Yale substituted Ham
