Piled Up Eleven Errors-YaIe Team
 Work Poor.
 Yale had little trouble in defeating
 the Amherst college teame at the Yale
 field yesterday afternoon. The score at the end of the eighth inning was 15 to 6 | in favor of the local men when the
 game was called by Umpire Gruber on account of darkness. The game slow | and uninteresting, the feature being an occasional home run by Yale man on l errors by the visitors and Cunhas ter rife drive for four bases in the first | inning, the ball stopping after it had
 rolled across the running track in deep left center. Cunha easily made the cir returned to the diamond and every time
 he stepped to the plate after the first
 inning he was warmly greeted by the
 crowd. The big catcher reached first
 base every time he batted. His throw
 ing to bases was excellent and two men
 were caught mapping off first base.
 Few tried to steal the second sack and
 those who did were generally nailed.
 The Yale team had a good chance to
 fatten their batting averages, as the Amherst pitcher was very easy mark. Here is the record for the first inning: Home runs, Quinby and Cunha; three
 base hit, Camp; singles, Sullivan, Brown and Sharpe reached first on errors in that inning, Barnwell and Guernsey struck out and McKelvey went out, Fighter to Tinker.
 In the fourth inning Camp lined the | ball over Left Fielder Hawley's head | and in the fifth Sharpe lifted the ball over the center fielder's head and was on the bench when the ball reached the pitcher. Three of four hits that were credited to Yale players would have re- suited in easy outs with even ordinary fielding, but the visitors judgment of fly balls was painful to witness.
 In the seventh inning Cunl1a hit a cloud ticker that fell safe almost in the pitchers box. Pitcher Rushmore, Third Baseman Kent and Shortstop Biram all started for the ball. One yelled "Tll ake it, another yelled I've got it." md the third yelled Take it." the re- 'ult being that nobody even made an 'ffer to make the put out, the ball drop 'lng With thud on the grass h. tances like the above were taking place til through the game, which helped | ,eep up the spirits of the onlookers.
 Little can be said in praise of the anne the Yale team put up. Their bat Ing While at times heavy, was noth- lg startling and their fielding was very ncertain. Barnwell dropped an easy y, Sharpe let a slow ball go between is legs and Irwin, who replaced Camp the sixth, fumbled an easy one.
