Yale has proved rather conclusiyely
that she is better on the baseball dia-
mond this year than Princeton, but
the difference isn't much, that's sure
Take each and every game played In
the championship series and you'll
find that Yale, while Victorious On two
occasions and tie in the other, just

ever, is entitled to all the praises and
all the honors that 20 with the cham

given out. Yale won the first game
after ten-inning battle and in the
second game the teams played to tie

Then Yale magnanimously agreed to
remain over in Princeton and play on
Monday and as a result the Ellis are
the undisputed champions because OF

O.
Yale won the deciding game be-
ca use she was more aggressive. She
forced the play whenever there was
possible chance and she put Prince
ton on the defensive whenever she
could. Her players ran bases desper-
ately and three stolen bases eventu-
ally resulted in runs. Wall, who
caught for the Tigers. failed to stop
the Ellis and 1t was his poor form
that really helped the Bulldog to
victory. The real culprit, however,
was Gill, who, outside of his rank

AS the game opened everything
looked lovely for Princeton. Two
runs came in the very first inning
and they looked big to the Tiger
crowd. A home run by Rhoads, who,
by the way, has been elected captain
of next years team, brought in Pen
dleton, who had previously singled,
ahead of him. Then Yale got a run
and there was nothing much to en-
thuse over until the sixth, when the
Ellis secured another tally, making
the game upsticks. Yale became ag-
gressive again in the eighth inning
and went into the lead for the first
time. Princeton was equal to the
task. Then Pendleton came through
with homer to centre field and the |
game was again tied. The Ellis made
a tally in the ninth and it looked to
be all over. Princeton sang in dole
full tones "Old Nassau" and Yale
called for the Undertaken" With
two out, Reilly, at third for Yale,
pulled a bone" play in lobbing me
ball to the catcher instead of playing
it at first base. AS a result, a run
was scored and the game tied up
again; but GilPs play in the twelfth |
offset any mistakes Yale might have
made. 1t was plainly evident that
Gill must have been badly ratified, as
he must have seen the runner tear
ing for home.
@
Pendleton was easily the star of the
game, although Rhoads must be
given credit for his home run in the
opening inning. Pitcher Copeland
was taken out of the box early in the
game and Wood, who succeeded him,
did well while he was on the mound.
Rogers, who finished the game, had
lots of speed and should not have
been scored upon. Brown. for Yale,
twirled excellent ball, and Gle, the
Ellis star pitcher. was also effective
during his turn in the box. The hit
ting was even up, each team getting
eight safeties. Yale made three err
rors to Princeton's one. The luck of
the game was with Yale, the omis-
sions and commissions of the Tigers
generally resulting in tallies. The
leftover crowd numbered about 5000
and the usual pee-rade and other
ceremonies were in order.
The Americans, as expected, won
the tennis matches from the Aus
tralians, and will now play the Ger
mans, who won from the French last
