FROM POLO WALLET.
Death of Yale Freshman from Acoi
dental Blows Effect.

New York, May 22.-Harry d. Bah
cock, Jr., a member of the freshman
class at Yale and a player on the Yale
polo team, died at his home here, to-
day, from the effects of an accidental
blow on the head from polo mallet in
the hands of a fellow player. w. c..
Devereaux. The accident occurred late.
Saturday afternoon, in Van Cortlandt
park in this city, during the last half
of the first intercollegiate polo game
ever played in this country. Babcock
played No. in the Yale lineup and
Devereaux No. 8, on the Princeton side.
According to his own version Of the af-
fair, Babcock intentionally slipped
from his pony to the ground after being
struck. but later partially recovering
from the dizziness that followed the
blow, he insisted upon returning to the
game. Capt. Baldwin of Yale, over
ruled him, however, and put another
player in his place. 1t was not until
several hours after the accident that
the serious nature of the injury be-
came apparent and the young mans
condition then grew so rapidly worse
that an operation was deemed inadvis-
able.
Babcock was 20 years old and the son
of Henry ID. Babcock, a member Of the
brokerage and banking firm of HOLSTER,
Rabcock & Co. of this city.
