Yale to Play Mack's Team.


The Yale base ball team will play in
Philadelphia tomorrow, a game having
been arranged between the blue and Connie
Macks American League Club. This will
be the first appearance of Yale nine in
the Quaker city for over five years.
The arranging of the contest is the out
come of the Boston refusal of the Ma
tional League club to play the game
scheduled with Yale last Saturday. The
reason for this throw-down of the blue
was because the latter had played the
Baltimore American League team last
Friday. This action of the Bostonians
has caused unfavorabe comment all over
the country, although it is believed to be
in conformity with a National League rule
which puts a ban on al teams that play
with the American Leaguers.

Malone of the visiting team refused to
allow them hit. But four of the Howards
reached first, three on errors and one On
base on balls. Howard also fielded poorly
as 1t had thirteen errors in the nine innings
and in one inning managed to bunch six.
Williams. who did the twirling for How
ard, was the bright particular star of the
home team, and with good support should
have made the Yale lawyers play for their
lives to win. But seven hits were made eff

portunely with errors. and of course runs
came thick and fast over the plate.

Pennsy. The game will be called at
