was sportsmanke battle fought by foes worthy
or each other. and the four thousand specta-
tors present enjoyed the contest TO the end
although 1t lasted much longer than the usual
game OF baseball. The behavior Of the players
and the character of the spectators were in vast
cChuast TO the usual scenes at this mismanaged
field of sport.
The Yale men seemed reasonably sure OF vic
tory before the game began. and there were MANY
Prlncetonians present whose sympathfes were all
with the wearers OF the blue. Had Yale won Prince

There was the usual turnout Of pretty girls and

the blue Of Yale. The Harvard sympathzers were
massed in the lower left hand end OF the grand
stand and for they outyelled the usually nosy
Yale 'rooters." Those Harvard men began TO shrek
their college cries before the game started. and as
the result seemed to favor their side after the
opening inning they stopped the din for over
two and half hours. Harvard H4gan the sing

The only unpleasant feature Of the game occurred
in the seventh inning. Wendell was on first, when
Finoke hit sharply toward short. Camp got the
ball and forced Wendell at second. Then Camp
braoed himself to throw to first in effort
complete double play. Wendell interfered with
Camp and hot words passed between the men. Camp
started toward Wendell threateningly and Wendell
about to present arms when Kisses from the
grandstand brought the two players to their senses.
Wendell evidently believed be at fault, for
the Harvard enthusiasts failed to applaud him
when he went toward the Harvard bench.
The attendance would have been doubly a. large
had the game been advertised properly. The
agement left to Freedman, with the result that
thousands of people in New-York did not know
when the game was to be played. In the hands OF
a competent college committee the financial returns
of the game would have at least been twice what
they were. The infeld had not been sprinked with

handsome toilets.
THE GAME.
After the preliminary cheering had subsded, the
Crimson took the field Quinby, for Yale par
ticular. and result he was sent to hrst on
called balls. Camp got to suit him quickly, and
promptly sent a lightning grass cutter between
short and second base well out OF the reach Of
both Coolidge and Fincke. AS the ball sailed out
to centre field, Quimby made tracks for third
base and arrived there safely ahead OF Georges
throw head him Off Camp took advantage OF
the throw to make second on the play. With men
on second and third the Yale yelled. Then
Sullivan struck out, and Harvard yelled. Cook
did the same thing after three wild swings through
the air and the Yale men groaned between their
cheers at each other. Guernsey also struck
out leaving two mad Yale men on bases. Har-
wards shout Of exultation was this time snappy
and full of vim. The soulful drawl was forgotten
for the moment. Yale had missed grand op-
portunity.

even Harvard applauded. 1t was goose egg for

the second inning. Sharpe popped up tiny ny

a senseless sacrifice. Robertson sent the ball tow

the rules Sharpe was out. but Umpire Simpson
did not the play. Quimby was struck IN the

each corner of the diamond. Fortunately for the
