with the only home run of the game. 1t
was the eighth in which bedlam broke
loose, for the locals tied the score, and
If the umpire had treated them fairly they
would have won.
Lamb, the second to last man up, was
hit on the arm by the pitcher, and showed
the mark, and the Yale men even ac-
knowledged the fact, but the umpire would
not allow the base, and thus run was
not forced in, for the bases were full.
