Yale knows what it is to win by a
foot, but it remained for Princeton TO
prove at the Polo Grounds yesterday
that the margin of victory may be an
arm. The score in the deciding base
ball game Of the series was TO 0, and
the arm which raised the Tigers to
success belongs to Bill Deyo. He held
Yale to three hits, and in sense they
were scattered, as no two came in any
one inning, but from the standpoint Of
the box score the safeties were
punched, since all three were made by
Johnny Hancs.
The back Of Deyo is bruised from
the congratulations hammered home at
the end of the game by the sons of
Nassau, and sore, too, are the shoulder
blades of Green. 1t was his infeld hit
which drove home the run--the single
run-the winning run, which doomed
up as big as the Woolworth Building
on moonlight night. And it was
Green who saved the battle i'll the
third inning, when he threw from right
field to the plate and nailed Middle
brook. A sleepy rooter in the bleach
ers, who woke up just in time to see
the ball shoot home low and true,
wanted TO know when Jack Murray had
been put back into the game.
Gill, who set his spikes in the loan
which Maiscl has SCARED and where
Milton Stock holds sway, made two
plays which were at least worthy of
either Of the men in whose territory he
was stationed for the afternoon. His
one-hand scoop and throw of Pumpel-
ly's tap along the third base line in
the seventh inning was the best bit
of fielding in the game, and in the
eighth he showed that it was no acct
dent by the way he handled bunt by
Middlebrook.
As Larry Doyle, who was among the
spectators, remarked: "YOu can learn
lust as much at those colleges as you
can pick up in any bush league IN the
country"
Almost ten thousand persons saw the
game, and among the crowd were many
heroes Of the days that have gone.
There were men who could field and
run and bat and throw before they lett
the diamond to enslave themselves 70
stocks and bonds and railroads and the
various triviaities of life that follow
college. Judging from side view, I've

bunting days are done.
