DR.. Day was the last Of the presidents
Of Yale to occupy the 4oficiap residence.
He promptly moved out the day his sue

Woolsey was free to occupy the house. he
waived his right In behalf OF the then In

accordingly occupied by this school until
1860, when the school moved into the new
building prepared for its use through the
generosity Of Joseph E. Shef1eld. The
old house was soon afterward torn down.
It Is interesting to note that the original
presidents house, built in 1722, stood
until 1884, when 1t was torn down to
make way for the College Street church.

HOPE WINS BOTH
GAMES
MayvilIe Proves To Be
Easy :.

Despite the fact that Mayville
has been reported to have such
a strong ball team they fell down
on both games here.
The first game started favorab-
ly for Mayville. Our boys put up
a poor quality Of ball the efirstfour
innings making all kinds of errors
and misplays. Errors in the
first gave Mayville two scores;
the third gave them another as
did the first of the fifth up to
which time the prospect of
Hopes winning looked poor. In
the fifth however our boys got
on to Erickson's erratic pitching
and ran in three scores. This
was repeated in the sixth and
again in the eighth giving Hope
nine scores to Mayville's four
they having drawn nothing but
goose eggs after the fifth.

each day in front of the grand

Wednesdays game was more
encouraging from the start for
the local sports though the game
was too one sided all the way
through to make it interesting.
Erickson was again in the box
for Mayville and the batting and
running began in the first and
continued until the game was
called in the first of the sixth be-
cause of rain. Schooler in the
box for the locals pitched a nice
game and with the support given
held Mayville down to two scores.
Kirkby and Robinson went into
the box for Mayville in a vain
effort to stop the batting but
without success. Hope ran in
nine scores, two of which were
forced on passed balls by May
ville's pitcher.

Parkins struck out nine men,
passed two and hit one.
The first game looked rather
dubious up to the fifth inning.
1t looked better at the end of. the
sixth.
The Mayville pitcher had poor
control.
-Four men passed and four
struck by pitched balls by May
vile the second game. Two
scores forced by passed balls the
second game.
Four two base and five three
base hits helped to win the game.
