All the betting so far favors Har-
ward and even money wages are be-
ing offered that the crimson wins all
three races. The odds on Harvard for
the varsity eight are 10 2, with prac-
tically no Yale money in sight. This
feeling of confidence at Harvard is
explained by the fact that every man

hope is the opinion or several experts

BASE RUNNING LOST ART.
Hit-and-Run Play Does Away In Great
Measure With the Plfer.

That baserunning has fallen of
perceptibly in recent years is not an
indication that the catchers of today
are cleverer than they were years
ago. nor that the base-runners are
now in vogue which keeps the stolen
base column full OF ciphers. There
was a time when the hitand-run game
was not played. II was then that
straight steals We're attempted and
successfully accomplished.
Nowadays IL is only on rare &C.
casions that one sees base stolen
without the attempt is made in con-
junction with the batter. who tries to
hit the ball on which the steal is at
tempted. This leads 10 the employing
OF strategy on the part of the pitcher,
which keeps the ball away from the
batsmen when steal is anticipated
and the catcher has clear throw.
What Is more, in this so-called hit.
and-run play the average base-runner
does not get the lead he would IL he
were trying TO make a clean steal,
for the reason that he expects the
batter to help him out. II is very
plain, therefore, that the hit-and-run
play has robbed the game OF one OF
its most delightful features-base-run
