Lack of a good pitcher, wretched work
behind the bat by Smith and inability to,
play together told heavily against the
Brown nine at New Haven yesterday, and
Yale won easily by the score OF 10 TO
IN a e1s-inning game. The comparatively
Eosd showing OF the Brown team against
Worcester had led TO the belief that the
game would be close. but with Tiff out
OF the box the Brunonans seemed help
less and Yale had no difficulty In pound
ing the ball at will. making is hits OF
Beldings delivery, including two three
baggers. In the last OF the sixth lie
had TO give way TO Hopkins, who went
into the field without any preliminary

Yale men 10 two runs during the single
inning that he served. AS the contest did

with Yale faculty regulation. IL had 10

Brown men time to get out OF town on
the 1855 train. That was fortunate for
the Brown nine. for had the contest con-
tinued throughout the full nine innings
the visitors would have received an even
more decisive defeat.
The Brown team did little that was
commendable and Yale had things all

white on bases, but three others flilod

the team scored the result OF hits 10y
Elrod and Belding and a passed ball by
Winslow. In the sixth I1ft got as far
as third but went out at the plate when
he tried 10 reach home on a double steal.
The Ellis clearly were out for scalps and
the way they smashed the ball was a eau
ton. Fast fielding would have deprived
them OF some OF their safe drives but
even at that they would have had an
envisble batting record. Beding seemed

The contest was bitter disappointment
to the team. and particularly to Coach
Sexton and eNEaptain Lynch, who had
