HARVARD ROUTS YALE.
New Haven Pitchers Get a Severe
Beating and Crimson Wins. 8 to 2.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 21.-Out-
played in every department of base ball.
Yale yesterday lost its opening match of
the season to Harvard. TO 2 before a
brilliant crowd of 1900 alumni and
guests of commencement week. The visit
ors shot to the lead in the first inning
with two home runs and Yale never came
abreast Terrific bomba rdment of both
\ ale pitchers placed victory safe for the
Crimson. but Yale missed easy fielding
chances. which. while not technical er-
rorS, netted runs
Capt. Mclaughlin of the visitors batted
terrifically, his three Dagger in the sew
enth inning driving two runs across the
plate and making almost inevitable his
own score on the next play. His home
run found the bases unoccupied. Babson
and Potter shone in all-around ball for
Harvard, the nine chances accepted fault
lessly at second base by the latter giving
the quietus to several apparently safe
Yale hits
Harvards fielding was as fast as it's
batting was strong. and three whrlWind
double plays upset as many Yale batting
ra lies. Substitute Mckee, who displac ed
the crippled Bennett, played the most bril-
liant ball for Yale, leading his side at the
bat and corralling nine chances without
mispiay. Both Yale pitchers were han
died without mercy by the Crimson bats
men. After Hartwel had been retired in
the sixth inning Scott was pounded for
three runs in the seventh. The score:

DEAL WITH
CINCINNATI IS OFF
Griffith Wanted Too Much for
OutfieIder Beck, Says
DOOM.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. June 21.-Manager
Charlie Doom dropped off in Philadelphia
today long enough to talk about the
putative trades that the Phillies are sup
posed to be making all over the civilized
world. The red-topped leader wants an
outfielder; in fact, he says that he needs
one badly, but he will have a tough time
securing one when 1t comes to a ques-
ton of trading.
For since the deal that Mr.. Doom
made with Clarke Griffith last winter
the other managers have become trifie
afraid of Charles when it gets to bar
tering.
Manager Doom. en- route about the
country, looked over Fred Beck of Gin
cinnati and Vincent Campbell, the st.
year, but has since concluded not TO
play professional base ball.
Cincinnati had asked waivers on DaVy
AltiZer and when the Phillies started
homeward Manager Doom told President
Fogel to go to Redville and find out what
Cincinnati had in the way of trade.
The president was informed when he hit
Cincinnati that in order to get Beck he
would be obliged to almost swap his en-
tire club TO accomplish the trade.
Therefore the deal fell through and
Cincinnati still retains Beck. while Presl-
dent Fogel and Manager Doom still have
the PhillieS intact.
In relation to Campbell. Manager Doom
found out when he was in st. Louis that
Campbell had decided not to play pro-
fessional base ball again, and therefore
there was no possibility of deal with
the Pittsburg team that would involve
Campbell.
