Box-Holds His Opponents Down In
 Splendid Style-Ya Players Shifted
 Around-FInaI Score 9-3.
 In spite of the miserable weather
 quite a gathering of college men at. tended the game at the field yesterday
 afternoon. Yale defeated Wesleyan by | the score of 9 to 3, but it was by the merest chance that her opponents did
 not run up a better score against her.
 Robertson in the box played one of the
 prettiest games thus far this season.
 In the third inning with three men on
 bases and none out he made a splendid assist in putting a man out at the plate and then proceeded to strike out two men in succession. It was splendid work and evoked much enthusiasm among the spectators, the more so as a poor play at the time would have given | Wesleyan a lead that Yale would have found it hard to overcome. Hirsch's clever throws were also noteworthy and to her battery it may be said that Yale owes the game,
 A wild throw to third by de Saulles in the third inning gave Wesleyan her first run. Previous to that Yales play ing was nice and clean. The inflelders by their splendid work made it no easy task to get to the first bag. Townsend in the box for Wesleyan pitched a good game, and although the Yale men found no trouble in locating the ball, the hits were few and far between.
 The last half of the third inning, how ever, in which Robertson made such a fine showing, put life into the sons of "Old Eli,' and in the fourth inning they made their first run. Waddell and Bronson both showed up well at the bat in the fifth inning and three more runs were placed to Yale's credit Some clean playing was indulged in by both sides in the next two innings, and it was not until the eighth that any more runs were made. Then Wesleyan suc- ceeded in getting one man home after Yale had put two more runs to her credit. In the ninth inning three rum nerS succeeded in crossing the home plate for Yale, while one more run was the best Wesleyan was able to do. To- wards the last of the game Garvan was given a show in the box and made very good showing, striking out four men.
 The makeup of the team was some what of a surprise to all, seven of the men being played in different positions. Joe Wear, who has been covering first base, did not play Captain de Saulles taking the position himself. On second Quinby was placed, his position at cen ter field being filled by George Clark. Camp filled short and Wallace left field, as usual, but Waddell was placed in right field and Bronson brought back to third base. Hrsch caught and Robert son pitched. The score by innings was as follows:
