The pitchers in several of the games
In the amateur leagues yesterday did
remarkably well. One no-hit contest
was registered. while in several of the
others only three or four safeties were
allowed.
Perhaps the best work of any was
that Of Mitchell in the Potomac League,
Working for Eastern against the
Shamrocks, he did not give a single
safe wallop to his opponents. The con-
test went only five innings. but during
that time the offerings of Mitchell were
absolutely unhittable, there not only
being no safeties made against him,
but the Shamrock batters did not hit
the ball hard at all.
York. pitching for Petworth against
Fairmont, was hit safely only twice,
while Zachary. in the box for Fair
mont had only four singles registered
against him. Little. hurting them over
for Keller. let down st. Agnes with
four bingles, while three was the most
that Navy could connect with the offer
ings of Powell Of Bureau.
There were two shut-out contests in
the amateur circuits yesterday One was
won by Eastern. in the Potomac League,
and the other by Station, in. the Rail
road Y. NJ. c. A. circuit Post Office took
another game in the Departmental
League by to 4. Keller got the best Of
st, Agnes in the East Washington Sunday
school circuit. Emmanuel took the game
In the Northwest Sunday School organi-
zation by 10 to from the ONO club.
The Navy lost to the Bureau AGGREGATION
in the Treasury League 8 to l. and the
Highlanders got away with the long end
the Rosedale circuit 6 to 3.
The victory Yale gained over Harvard
yesterday in the race between the varsity
eignts was certainly great balm to the
a period of seven years. The winning of
the race was also either a vindication of
English rowing methods, or else some
body who was given authority after that
plete!y made good and placed himself in
line for Job as head coach of the Dark
Blue next year at salary above any,
thing ever paid to an aquatic instructor
1t would be mighty interesting to know
just what did happen at the time men,
toned.
Considerable opposition developed to
the policy of Nickalls the Englishman
in charge, and there were rumors that
he had resigned. Such rumors were done
away with, though. by the announce
ment that the difficulties had been
smoothed over and that he would con-
tinue in charge. If he really did re-
main at the head of affairs, yesterdays
victory has proved that his methods are
right. because In a few short weeks he
has been able to humble a system that
has been in effect for years, and there is
not the least doubt but that he will re-
ceive greater honors than are usually
accorded coach. If Nickalls was only
nominally in charge, then somebody has
accomplished feat that will give him a
place for long time in the hearts of all
Yale men.
All of which does not speak very well
for the Yale alumni. who were in such a
blue" state over the poor prospects Of
the crew about two weeks ago that they
Cancelled the annual dinner previously
given the crew each year before leaving
its quarters at New Haven. 1t was given
out at the time in the press report almost
in as many words, that the alumni felt
that no amount of encouragement would
enable the crew to beat Harvard, and the
dinner might as well be called of. Who
ever was responsible for that is probably
feeling rather sheepish right now though
it is admitted that Yale had done nothing
at that time that would indicate the least
chance of victory. /.
