YALE WAS THE WINNER.

Cambridge. Mass, May 23.-Harvard
met defeat at the hands of Princeton
on Soldiers Field this afternoon. to
5. Until the eighth inning Harvard
could not score. although getting men
to second and third bases.
In the first half Of the eighth inning
the grandstand back of the catcher was
seen to take fire and there was d
scramble of spectators in the seats to
the ground. This incident, which did
not prove serious, caused a fifteen
minute interruption in the game.

could be wished for. There was some
little discussion over this hit, Umpire
Meinhard first calling the hit a foul.
This was caused by the fact that there
are two foul lines painted on the left
field fence, the umpire mistaking the
one inside the real foul line, and fully
fifteen feet inside the foul flag, for the
line. His attention was Immediately
called to his error and he changed his
decision at once, the Chathams them
selves even granting that the hit was
plainly fair one.
The next two innings were without
event, but in the sixth, by a series of
errors on the part of the Chathams,
and, assisted by a hit or two, the LII
brary boys sent three TALES in. Again
in the eighth the c. l.. a. scored twice,
and, just to keep their hand in, one
more in the ninth was added.
The Chathams never scored after the
second inning. though several times
they came dangerously near it. Three
or four times they had a man on Sec
ond and twice had a runner on third,
but by steady pitching on the part of
Butler, and good work by Charlton and
the inf1eld they were prevented from
reaching home.
Butler Pitched Well.
The feature of the game was I'M
doubtedly the excellent slab work of
George Butler. Just II years of age,
and without any experience as a
pitcher against seasoned players, he
pitched game that any twirler in Sa-
vannah could be proud of, and one that
would turn the head of any ordinary
youngster. He was put in the box
without any notice, but he measured
up to the highest standard and made
many of the star hitters of the Artil-
lery team fan the gentle zephyrs. He
has good speed and several excellent
curves and handles himself like a vet
eran, settling down to his work at crit
ical times in good shape and never
losing his head. In addition to this, he
fielded a good game and caught several
runners mapping on bases. Butler has
been recognized as the best of the
younger class of pitchers, but no one
had thought he could hold his own
in such heavy company.
Game Was Snappy.
All in all, the entire game was snap
by and full of interest, barring, per-

There is nothing phenomenal about the ample list

though at first blush It might remarkably

feel it only Nmple justice state that the list OF
honors set forth the back of the catalogue was
printed entirely without Mr.. MacMonniess knowl-
edge or consent at the present time he Is In

To show the modesty of the artist, on his ar

soil this button consigned TO oblivion. Very

able the Low administration to go ahead with
