Yale and the Greenway glass arm triumphed
again on the Polo Grounds yesterday, the victim
on this occasion being Harvard. The game. which
was the deciding of the series. was contest
well worth seeing, and exceeded In interest any
baseball game played in this city this season Inc

ter was thrown out at first, while there were at
least two moments when Harvard had the best OF
chances put the game TO her credit mat was

fact ought to he made known forthwith and al
once Thousands would Journey to see 1t. But not
only did the Yale captain put up the hnest sort OF
ball In the box but his batting sent two OF the
runs scored by Yale across the plate.
The attendance was not what the game deserved.
and the comparatively small size OF the crowd pre-
vented tho outburst Of enthusiasm that such an abb
sorhing contest would have produced II the CO.
horts had been recruited up their full strength
The intense interest taken In the dongs at san
tiago doubtless had It's effect and the fact that
both Harvard and Yale have finished their years
academic work was also a contributing cause. The
weather was Ideal and the small but faithful
bands Of undergraduates and alumni that were
present made all the noise that could have been
expected Of them.
The game did more than settle the respective
merits OF Harvard and Yale on the diamond. 1t

Harvard need look further for her 80 battery.
Fiz struck out ten Yale htters. and held the hits
down to eight. His CURVES and speed were excel
lent and he gave only one base on balls. That
Harvard should lose the game offer such extraor-
dinarily clever work was discouraging but the
Greenway glass arm was too much for the Harvard
hittcrs when hits meant

possession of the box. and DE- Saues, the first man
up made three extensive dints In the air. Wads-
worth did the same. and the critics opened their
eyes. Wear was the third out. Fiz retiring him on
