Yale is making a record this year that
is seldom attained by a college base
ball team. The Dark Blue nine has
won fourteen straight games. some
thing that has been accomplished by
no other college organization. Many
or these games have been with the
best teams in the north and east, and
several have been overtime affairs.
The fourteenth successive victory
was won yesterday from Dartmouth
after an eleven-inning struggle. There
have been about three other extra
inning contests in the fourteen vic
tories, and few of the games have been
won easily.
Yale started its season as though 1t
would be represented by combina-
ton not above the average Of the last
few years. At the American League
Park here it met Pennsylvania and
played mediocre ball, but after that
it struck a fast gait and victory after
victory has been won. The team has
been hitting the ball well. and that
combined with effective pitching. has
proved the main factor of success.
The team that is closer to the mark set
by Yale than any other is Wesleyan. 1t
and that Is not poor performance. by
any means. especially when the ms and
outs of base ball are considered.
The game that Catholic University was
scheduled to play yesterday with Rock

three of the runs made by M. A.. C, were

With men on second and third Shipley
made low throw to Morris which the
first basemen dropped, a run going across
the plate, and the other tally was made
when Knode tried to field ball with his
shins instead of his hands. the result be-
ing that the man on third crossed the
plate easily. M
Loomis who pitched for the NJ. A. c.,
should not have had a run scored of
him. despite the fact that he worked in
a rather laggard manner. After striking
out the first two men in two innings. he
Summed up, Loomis pitched almost
whole game in the first three innings,
having two or three men on the bases In
each of the first four chapters. He was
not hit hard, there not being a really
hard hit ball off him at any time he was
pitching. Wiidness and careless work gen.
orally were responsible for the men get

Hoffecker pitched the last two innings
in order to get workout so that he will
be in shane to go against Delaware Col.
