HARVARD COLORS LOWERED
TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE SEE
 YALE YIN GAME.

Crimson Men WaIIoped Six to One-- A Home Run Their Only Score MacKay With His "Baked" Arm Pitches Great BaIi--Deadly Throwing
 by WinsIow-O'Brien and Cote Give Splendid Exhibitfon-Deciding Game Saturday.
 Yale lowered Harvards colors at Yale field yesterday afternoon in the second game of the annual series, and, leach having won one, the champion ship will have to be decided in New York Saturday. The contest was fought before a commencement throng of nearly 10000 persons. with the usual in- spring scenes. Just before the game a light rain fell, and for time it looked as though the contest would have to be played in downpour, as 1t was last year. The clouds grew thick and hung low overhead, but hardly drop of water fell after the game started. Just once a streak of sunshine sirnmered through, and it was all the sunshine the Crimson men saw or felt, for Yale put them in total eclipse almost from the lstart.
 It was not luck that won for the Blue | this time. It was clean, straight and consistent baseball playing from the head to the bottom of the team, and the victory was deserved. MacKay, whose arm has been nursed, or
 baked, as the trainers say, since the Princeton game here, was in splendid form and pitched with almost his old- ltime speed and curves. Harvard got
 seven hits off him. one of which was a
 home run and the only run the Crimson got during the game, but aside from the
 eighth inning he kept the hits well lscattered.
 l The individual work of the Yale team lcould hardly have been better. Wins
 low gave as fine an exhibition of
 grounds. Not one Harvard man who attempted the journey from first es- Icaped him. O'Brien put up a remark
 able game at short. having four diffi- cult put-outs and two assists, and Cote in the seventh brought thousands of spectators to their feet by two sensa- Itional catches, one of which would un ldoubtedly have been a home run. Chit ltenden was the only man on the Yale team to make an error, and this was partly excusable. as it was on a hard I lof in the second inning and cost nothing. Harvard played poor baseball in com 4parison with Yale, and all os her five
 errors were disastrous. The outdeIders had a surprising knack of finabling or letting ground balls get by them Cap tain Carr had a very off day as far as lJudgment is concerned, and Is also dis credited with one of his teams errors. His foolish base running in the eighth thinning, when he tried to steal third, Host Harvard one run, and probably more, as Randall and Stephenson, who followed him at the bat, each cracked Eout base hit.
 l Yale's best inning was the sixth, Iwhen Miller, who was first at the bat, Init scorcher to Matthews at short
 and got first on the Crimson mans er- Iror. Coburn at this critical period lweakened-in fact, he became Q flying machine instead of a pitching machine, land during his ascent Cote, Bowman land Barnes got hit one after the lother Winslow struck out, Chittenden lgot a hit, but was caught trying to lsteal second, and MacKay went out on an easy grounder to second, retiring the side. It was a pretty punching of hits, land when Coburn again got near Ienough to the ground to observe things la big white four on the score board lgreeted his crimson eyes Yale scored lagain in the seventh, Huiskamp com ling home on hit by Miller. In her half Harvard went in knowing that the lgame was lost unless she could bat out Ia victory. She started off auspiciously lenough, for Ffschel, the first man up,
 knocked a terrific low fly near the left field foul line. It rolled into the crowd and was blocked, Fischel being allowed
 to circle the bases. It was unfortunate for Harvard that she had no men on 3l bases. The next three ment went out lin order. In the eighth Harvard got lrather dangerous and would have scor- led but for Carr's stupid base running. After Coburn had struck out Carr Stephenson and Randall each got d hit lin succession. When Randall went to the bat Carr was on second and Steph- lenson at first. On the second ball pitch led the Harvard captain attempted the lsteal to third and was caught "by a lmile,'' as he was at first earlier in the lgame. Right after Randall cracked out la clean hit, which would have scored lCarr. Matthews, the next man up, hit to O'Brien and was thrown out. Again
 in the ninth Harvard had two men on bases, but could not score. Cohurn, the Hast man up, struck out, making the fourth time, or every time he was at 1.-the bat. There was a great demonstra- Ition after the game, the classes having their reunions, headed by bands
 marching and dancing over the field oi lyictory
