In q game that at first promised to
DO d shut-out for. Harvard, that team
yesterday afternoon defeated Randolph
Macon by the score Of Z to 3; tho Yellow
Jackets scoring ali their runs in the
ninth inning. The contest was one In
which tho battle rested mainly with the
pitchers Hartford and Green for the
Northcrncrs, and Gaver, for Randolph
Macon. Though, but green man In tho
box, this having been tho first game
In which he sped the twrlers Gavor
showed up exceedingly we'll, allowing only
eleven hits. which is not bad showing,
ali considered Hartford did the twirling
for the Crimson in the first three IN
nngs, and then Green took charge of the
battle, allowing only five hits during the
six innings His work was Of the grand
stand variety, as he has plenty of speed
and curve and on almost perfect con-
troll.
In the ninth inning a costly error OF
Mccall at second base, who made Dad

between stephenson's legs. allowed two
Randolph-N1acon men TO cross the plate:

played an almost errorless game, the

Hartford made a bad throw to first
The game was pretty all through. both
pitchers doing excellent work. In the
sixth Inning, however, Harvard caught
on to Gaver's peculiar twirls, making
five hits and four runs. and IN the sew
enth inning making one hit and three
runs which, with two runs made in the
first inning, and one In the fifth. swelled
the total I'D to seven. For five innings
the Yellow Jackets could make no hits
at all the first coming in the seventh
inning. the second in the eghtha and three
more in the last inning OF the game.
Harvey's Great Catch.
BY far and away the feature OF the
game was the splendid catch made by
Harvey, the Crimson shortstop. who ran
behind second base and landed what -
popularity known as a Texas Leaguer-a
ball too far out for the second baseman
and too close In for the center field.
He was roundly cheered by the grand
stand, for It was the best play OF the
whole game Another feature was the

an error OF Walters. who later scored

Carly made first on, the same error, and
later crossed the plate. a..
Otherwise there was no nrllliant play
ing. the game being steady throughout
on both sides. except for the fatal errors
of Harvard In the last inning.
There was a goodly3. crowd on the
bleachers and in the grand stand-a crowd
that was as appreciatve Of the good
plays Of the Northerners as of the local
team For the Crimson the game was
more in the nature of a practice to deter
mine the holders of the positions for the
game with the Navy. which comes off
on Saturday In Annapolis. Judging from
the display made by the Yellow Jackets,
they will stand good show for the
pennant in the Eastern intercollegiate
League.
