HARVARD DEFEATS YALE.
CAPTURES FIRST CAME IN THE
 BASEB4LL SERIES,
and Present-Some Heavy Hitting by Both Teams-Four Errors Made of Which Yale is Credited With Three Pitchers We'll Supported.
Pitchers We'll Supported

Cambridge, Mass, June 20.-Over G., 900 followers of the crimson sat on Soldiers Field this afternoon and we'll nigh exhausted their lungs in cheering seven red legged students of Harvard round the bases, while about 1000 equally loyal and almost as noisy ad- herents of the blue only succeeded in urging three Yale men across home plate.
 The seven Harvard runs were due primarily to the ability of Frantz, Stillman and Wendell to hit hard cer- tain balls which the Yale pitcher Cook twirled across the plate, yet the score would have been considerably larger had not Cook puzzled nearly all the rest of the crimson players. On the other hand Clarkson, the Harvard pitcher, was even more successful in mystifying the Yale men with the ex- ception of Waddell, Winslow and Rob- ertson, and, being backed up in the field with almost perfect fielding, kept his head to the last, although the game ended with two Yale men on bases ready to speed home at the slightest provocation.
 The crowd was enthusiastic and decorous at proper times and in many cases very musical, the little Yale clus- ter behind third base bringing out q larger repertoire of college songs than some 2,000 Harvard students massed on the opposite side of the field, The great middle class with best girls, chap erons and graduates behind home plate cheered wildly and tried to join in sing ing while far down in the center field lot an entirely bipartisan, but smaller crowd from no institution of learning whatever kept their eyes on the game and ignored the cheering and singing entirely It was typical college game.
 It is safe to say, however, that if the four hits which developed into home runs, had been made on league grounds, with fence to stop them, the runners would scarcely have made third base.

 mon Council Committee Must Approve

 penses of the Fourth of July celebra-
 ton. Colonel Rutherford Trowbridge, 1 General F. F. Bradley and ex-Alderman Unger, representing the general Fourth
 of July committee, appeared before the
 board of finance to be heard in behalf
 of the appropriation. After they left
 the board discussed the matter and
 finally voted to transfer from the con-
 tingent fund in the controllers depart
 ment $500 for Fourth of July fireworks
 and $200 for music and ringing Eells.
 The general Fourth of July committee
 desired the appropriation to be made,
 but the items fixed by the finance board
 makes the fund available for the two specific uses named, fireworks, music and bell ringing. In addition to this the finance board voted that vouchers for the expenditures of the sums trans ferredl be approved by majority of the special committee of the common council. This practically places the ex- penditure of the money in the hands of the special joint committee of the court of common council.
 Representatives of the park colnmls- sion appeared before the board last night in relation to an additional ap- propriaton for the maintenance of parks, other than East Rock park The finance board last November included in the estimates $15,000 for parks of which SC, 900 was for the care and main tenance of East Rock park. The court of common council cut the East Rock park appropriation to S20O0, but later the board of finance managed to trans fer from other accounts enough money to make up the total park appropria- ton to the original ,000.
 General Edward F. Bradley and Hen ry T. Blake appeared before the board last night in behalf of the additional S3, 900 appropriation now asked for. Af- ter they left the board discussed the matter for about an hour and then de- cided to table the request.
 The bill rendered some time ago by Prosecuting Agent Niles for $307 for costs in liquor seizure cases was ap- proved last night. The officers ser- vices in these case was performed by constables hired by the prosecuting agent, instead of by the regularly paid police force of the city, and a portion of the bills was for the services of these constables. The bill was for about twenty-eight seizure cases and $2 fees for the clerk of the city court in each case.
 No action was taken on the bills of Selectmen Hamilton and Ayres since no opinion on the legality of their bills has yet been received from the corpo- ration counsel. The bills for pay of Acting Captains Hayes and Williams and Sergeants Hayes, Watrous and l Marliwe are still held up. These off, | cers were appointed at the meeting of l the police commissioners when Cap- | +ains Brewer and O'Keefe and Sergeant | Bergin were placed on the veteran re- | serve list.
