YALE WINS FROM
 THE HARVARD TEAM M RUBBER SATURDAY

New Haven, June 2e.-Joy was unre- strained at Yale tonight over the victory of the varsity nlne over its old-time rival, Harvard. The score was: Yale 4 Harvard 0.
 The event came as the crowning feature of day full of excitement and merry making for the thousands of Yale men back for commencement and class re- unions. The game was full of good play ing by the Blue. but there was praise also for the Crimson. which stubbornly fought the last Innings.
 For an hour prior to the game hun dreds of fantastically garbed Yale men did stunts on the green field. The Shelf field class of 1908 produced an immense piece of scenery of a jungle, and from it emerged a big elephant. Then, solitary hunter began banging away at the elephant until it fell over.
 Another class had an opossum in a tree.
 The crowd was the largest ever seen at a baseball game here The outcome of the game makes it necessary to play off the tie for the championship at New York on Saturday afternoon. Score: Yale ...........-................ 600 030 1o*-4 Harvard ......................... .oo0 Oo0 0O0-0
 Batteries: Van Week, Merritt and Phil bin; Hicks and Currier.

Johns pitched an excellent game yes- terday afternoon and the Barons were able to solve his delivery but twice. And both these hits are credited to Bowen.
 Schopp, while not as effective as he generally is. never allowed two hits to fall in the same inning. But with none down in the fourth. he was sampled for two bags by Smith, who after re- ceIving a sacrifice to third. scored on a hyout to center Again in the seventh Smith smashed a long single to cen ter. and Johns who had got on bases as a result of professional courtesy was driven across with the winning tally.
 The Barons had the Crackers going in the third when a rain came along and allowed them to gather their wits together again. McGilvray, first up was walked. Ellam attempted to sac- riflce, but was safe on an error of Johns. Then came the rain. After 20 minutes the game was opened again with Schopp up. Schopp declared he had received a base on balls. The um- pire declared that he had bunted at the third strike. Schopp contended that as ne laQ swung aI the SeCOHd StElko II wsa not likely that he had bunted at the third. But Fitzsimmons saw his opin- ion prevail, and the pitcher was out. Henline then flied to left, and though Moran dropped the ball, McGilvray. who had chung to second, was unable to beat the throw to third where he was forced out. Bowen then cut loose the first single of the game, and this was scratched through Newton. Molesworth was pinked by the first ball hurled in hts direction. and Ellam was forced home with the only Baron run of the game.
 If Schopp was right in his conten- ton, the result would have been ma terially changed. The bases would have been full when Henlines fly to left was dropped, and one man would certainly have scored. Another would have counted on Bowen's hit. Moles- worth being hit with the ball would not have scored a man but 1t would have filled the bases with certainly not more than one out.
 There was no feature to the game save the excellent twirling of Johns And his splendor was tarnished some what by his extreme wildness.

BASEBALL GAMBLING

Horny E. Smith, whose recent letter caused so much alarm among the gam blers. writes again as follows:
 Sporting Editor Age-Herald, City:
 Dear Sir-I note that you kindly pub lished my letter in your paper of recent date, and that the same has since caused considerable discussion The letter was written solely for the purpose of putting baseball on higher basis-not as a per sonal attack upon anyone especially. The gamblers evidently recognize the fact of the truthfulness that gambling hurts the team, or they would not have taken the letter so to heart Then if they are en- abled to see the cardinal harm that 1t creates they should have at least pride enough about them to desist in doing anything which harms them personally and is very hurtful to the team of a city of which everyone should be rightfully proud. Outside of the fact that gambling on the team hurts the record of the same they should bear in mind that it lowers the name of the very game itself in the eyes of large majority of people, I am very sorry that 1t became necessary 10 make an attack like that made in my let ter of last Friday, but I felt 1t my duty Gas a lover of clean sports) to do so In regards to my letter, l might add that have absolutely no apologies to make for what wrote ln the same. 1He Age Herald is taking the right stand in the matter of good baseball and l believe that I voice the sentiment of good many peo- pie in saying that the question should be agitated to the point where the gambler will become absolutely ashamed of betting on either side of the game and especially so of betting against his own home team and in its stead will show the proper patriotism ct least Yours truly,

Chicago, June 2.-Any chance which the Chicago American League team had of securing Claude Rossman of the De- troit team has been dissipated by Man ager Hughey Jennings. who now declares he will retain Rossman for his hitting ability.

Bill Raftis presented a pitiable sight last night. During yesterdays game a foul off his own bat flew to his face and blinded him for an instant Although he was wobbly throughout the remainder of the game he did not consider the accident a serious one. But last night it was learned that one tooth was shattered and another loosened. His face began to swell and soon became the size of a water bucket But he figures that he will get in the game today just the same.
