CENTURY TEAM
SMOTHERS UNIVERSITY

My" but it was fiercer' exclaimed a ball
tosser of the University Club team, after
the five innings of chasing flies in a swell
tering sun yesterday afternoon at Van Ness
Park, when the Century Club team simply
smothered the former team by a score Of
Is to =.
The University team did not have a show
as the Century boys drove the ball all over
the lot and fielded like professionals. The
contest was witnessed by a large gathering
OF ladies and members Of the two clubs.
The victory is due almost directly to the
twirling of Nicholson, who was touched up
for eight hits but he kept the-l well scat
tered. The University team used two pitch
ers Winter and Tolman, but neither one
was very effective as the winners clouted
the ball for twelve hits
The game was called at the end of the
fifth inning possibly because the University
boys were down and out or because the
Century team were out of breath from run
ming bases.
Thomas Hume did wonders with the will
low, getting three hits. Finney on third
and Poe at second carried off the fielding
honors for the winners. For the University
team Leet caught a good game. Tolman
and Gertman also played well.

BROOKLAND BEATS
OUT BLOOMINGDALE

band Of rooters accompanied the
Bloomingdale Base Ball Club to Brookland
yesterday afternoon. hoping their team
would stop the victorious career of the
suburban lads. Up until the fourth inning
it looked as though their hopes would be
realized. as the Bloomingdale boys were
taking liberties with Middlekauff's delivery,
getting three singles in the third inning
and home run by Donnelly in the fourth.
Then Capt. Simons sent Middlekauff to left
field and toed the slab himself. After that
it was case of one. two. three, not a hit
being registered.
Daily, Bloomingdale's twirler, did well
for three innings, but in the fourth and
fifth he touched up for three singles
and double. which, with five errors,
Melted six runs On account of the severe
cannonading DAILY received in the last half
of the seventh, when Brookland scored ten
runs on eight hits, Umpire Glunt called the
game. as darkness was approaching. the
score reverting to the end of the sixth in
ming. Rodler and Tansill led at the bat.

Home runs were made by Hal Chase
and Conroy. and nearly every other man on
the two teams got away with at least one

the "swatfest with a vengeance. They

the first three innings and these raps were
good for thirteen runs. After that the
Yankees loafed and the only other scores

There was considerable of "blowup' by
the Yankees in the seventh and eighth in

Atlantlcs Smother Printers.
The Government Printing Office team fell
deeper into the cellar position yesterday
afternoon when the Atlantcs took its scalp
in loosely played game. Score, 10 to in
seven innings.
Owing to tn, absence of several of the
printers and the expectancy of their arrival
caused much delay, and 1t was after g
o'clock before the contest was started
whereby only seven innings could be played.
The printers had out a crippl ID team, only
six of their regular men being pres mt.
Consent was given by the opposing man
agement to fill the remaining vacancies
from other players of tie ! ague SO as not
to disappoint the large crowd present.
AS usual. the printers got a bad start.
as after the first two innings the Atlantics
had piled up eight runs, six in the first and
two in the second. Burhans was sent in
to do the twirling and pitched good hall
with the exception of the first two innings.
He was greatly responsible for tn, loss
of the game although his team mates
fielded poorly at times. In the third and
fourth innings he retired five men on
strikes. but it was too late then for him
to pitch good ball, as the ad obtained by
the winners in the early innings was too big
to overcome.
The printers got but four hits off Nc
Mahon, three of which were punched in
TIL. fourth inning, and resulted in two luns
their only runs of the game. Farrell hit
for three sacks and counted on a two-bag-
ger by Hubbard, the latter crossing
on a single by Smith Moves came out of
the fray with the fielding honors. having
handled seven chances with much ease, one
of which was brilliant catch of a low line
drive with one hand while on the run.
He also connected for home run. The

from the recent heavy rain the University
of Pennsylvania cricket team opened their
tour here yesterday, but were forced to sub
NIT to defeat at the hands Of the local col
legians, although playing a plucky uphill
game.
The margin was 20 runs, and at one time
a much heavier defeat seemed probable. as
the opening batsmen gave a lot of trouble
to the visiting field. However, the top
score of the day was made by one OF the
Americans in an innings of exceptional
merit D. Graham scored As. and to his eff
forts the score approximating LAT was made
possible The captain, l.. Lee, going In late.

double figures.
Falcon and Mumm opened operations for
Several bowling changes had to be made
before separation was effected, when the
quick work of Winter behind the sticks got
rid of Mumm for quarter of century
Falcon however continued the batting, and
aided by Colley, Bird and Lang, ran the
score up to we'll past the century mark be-
fore he was bowled by good length from
batting very steadily, but could get no one
to stay In with him, and when the innings
was completed was not out with 81 to his
credit. The best bowling for the visitors was
done by H. v. Hordern, who had the good

YALE TR|UMPHS
OVER HARVARD
Old Eli Wins by a Length After a
Continuous Struggle
From the Start.

NEW LONDON, June 2S.-Yale won an
other great victory in the intercollegiate
varsity eight-oared race yesterday by a
few inches less than boat length. She
won 1t in the last six strokes of perhaps
as grueling a contest as Yale and Har-
ward have ever rowed Throughout the
distance just a shade separated the two
crews over the entire four miles. AS the
two neared the finish line Yale had gained
a slight advantage, which Harvard was
fighting like death to overcome. When
they appeared so close that the fight was
hopeless Harvard's steam seemed to be eX-
hausted, and Yale with superhuman eff
fort shot her shell over the line with six
more of gain, until she just failed to clear
her rudder post of Harvards bow as the
judges flag fell to decide the finish. Har-
wards shell crossed the line three seconds
behind Yales bow, and as she crossed two
of her men collapsed, exhausted by the
terrific effort.
Boats Close All the Way.

they were sent away at I'll o'clock in

hidden in a lane of steam craft, so that
those ashore could only know that Yale
had the slightest advantage approaching
the line Which won they did not know for
ten minutes-not, in fact. until Harvard
returned across the river to her boathouse.
Then, as silence fell where before there
had been excited inquiry, they knew Yale
had won, and the big Blue contingent sent
up cheer that was the wilder for its long
restraint. AS it reverberated from the old
Connecticut hills 1t awoke memories Of
the long line of victories for the sons OF
Eli.
Poughkeepsie Crowd There, Too.
Many of those who saw the intercolle-
giate race Wednesday on the Hudson with
Poughkeepsie were here yesterday. They
were talking of the wonderful spectacle
presented by Cornell and Columbia Last
night they were talking Of the wonderful
repetition of the spectacle, by Yale's and
Harvard's crews. AS Cornell and Columbia
fought. so did Yale and Harvard. The
crews were, indeed, even closer most of
the way. and the lead changed more often.
though not SO late in tho race. Where a
quarter length separated the boats at
Poughkeepsie 1t was a. question of feet here.
Harvard got away in the lead and drew
out six or eight feet in the first quarter.
She had a quarter length at the half and
slightly less at the mile. Then Yale's
squirt brought her just even at the mile
and half and Harvard's answering
squirt reSalneQ a couple OF 1eet dt tue
two-mile mark. Then Yale came strong
again and was barely in front at two and
a half miles. So they kept on answering
each others squirt. gaining or losing an
advantage that could not be measured in
yards. Tile one that happened to be
squirting as the distance flags were passed
was reported ahead. AS the three-mile
flags were reached they were even, not
an inch difference to mark one or the
other, and they started away for the fin
ish as though it were a mile contest.
Power in Harvard Shell.
The next quarter mile the crowd on
either side of the river following the crews
watched eagerly for sign. There was
more power in the Harvard shell and the
boat Travelled further at each stroke. But
slides were being rushed, and the boat was
checking appreciaby, SO that Yale was
quite as effective as Harvard and prob
ably saved more for the final effort. So 1t
proved the Blue that showed perceptioly in
front in the gruelng prolonged squirt. She
was perhapsthree feet ahead as the boats
passed the first quarter of the crucial last
mile. That lead she had perhaps length

through the half. Harvard was plainly
