Many Shifts i'm Yale Nine
Result From Tufts Defeat

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 3.-Yale's
baseball outlook has completely shifted.
Instead of facing the prospect Of put
ting on the diamond against Princeton
and Harvard one of the most brilliant
of Yale teams in recent years, a slump
has upset the players, and a number of
changes are being considered.
The team reached low water mark in
playing form in the Tufts game on
Wednesday, when it went down at
to defeat, with ten errors recorded
against it. Most of the shifts are lim-
tied to the infeld. Frank Lynch. who
has always hitherto played the outfeld
has not adapted himself naturally to
first base play and his batting average
mas fallen to 200. During his last sea-
son at Yale he batted for .423.
One Of the changes is that of using
Charles Faherty, the former Andover
captain, in the infeld Faherty's prep
aratory school baseball experience was
gained at centrefeld. Lauder has used
him temporarily at shortstop, switch
ing Clifford Prann from short to third
and sending Gage. to the reserve.
Faherty has not displayed versatility
in his infield work, while Prann, who
returned to shortstop after brief ex-
perence at third, contributed two
costly errors to Yale's defeat by Tufts.
Yale's outfeld is satisfactory, Cap
tain Boyd at left, Holden at centre, and
Gordon in right, proving a trio with
which Coach Lauder is unwilling to
make experimental changes. He has
at his disposal, however, such remark
able natural outfelders as Faherty and
Lynch and his problem is to dispose
of their ability and experience to the
best advantage. After playing two sea-
sons without an error, Tom Sawyer
spilled three during the Tufts game.
Although his batting is unsatisfactory,
Sawyer is the best fielding member of
the intield quartet.
Behind the bat, Cal Holmes, regular
backstop last year, has just returned
to the game after spending three weeks
in the hospital with water on the knee.
remarkably clever second string
catcher. During Holiness illness his
backstop play was one of Yale's chief
factors In the three victories in the
early games of the season.
The poor fielding and ineffectiveness
of Pitcher Frank Coke against Tufts
was a keen disappointment. The big
left handed twirler held the New York
Giants to seven hits, yet he made three
errors in fielding his position against
Tufts and was batted so badly that he
was called to the players bench after
three innings. Dean Robinson and
Clark Selleck. the reserve pitchers,
have not displayed form sufficient to
predict their being used against Har-
ward and Princeton.

afternoon by the score of to 1. The
local club played wonderful brand of
baseball, going the distance without a

hits at the proper time. More than
once a hit would have started rally
that would have won for the University

Delaney, the Violet's star boxman,
was in fine form and was found for
only three hits. These, together with
two costly errors, cost the Violet team

Another Narrow Squeak

In 1914 at Ekwanok, Ouimet, who
had beaten Vardon and Ray the fall
before, became amateur champion for
the first time.
But he came within an ace Of fading
out in his first round He drew Max
Marston for starter and Marston was
at the top of his game. The two were
having nip and tuck time of it until
the middle of the last round-either
the thirteenth or fourteenth hole.
Ouimet topped his tee shot into a ra-
vine forty feet deep, while Marston
raped clean drive down the course.
In nine cases out of ten the lie in this
ravlne would have been unplayable. AS
it was Ouimet had fair wallop at the
ball, took a full swing and let fly The
bali not only came safely out, but car
ried another trap ITO yards away and
dropped within 6 feet of the cup. In
place Of losing this hole Ouimet won
it with against par 4, and finally
won the match l up. Those who recall
that yawning chasm full of rocks, sand
and underbrush will understand what
it means to even play out safely and
finally nail with a 5. With that close
turn behind him Ouimet sailed ON
through the field, overthrowing Jerry
Travers in the final round. Ouimet's
first and only. amateur championship
hung upon that one shot, despite the
wonderful golf he played the rest of
the distance.

The Allotment From Fate

A few years ago Oswald Kirkby,
twice metropolitan champion, was a
contender in the Jersey championship
at Englcwood.
In the first round he drew a club
mate, Fl. V. Seggcrman. In this round
Seggerman played remarkable golf,
finishing with 73 despite a bad last
hole. Kirkby had also been playing
fine golf, but coming to the final green
he was still one down. This hole is 100
yards in length. Kirkby, who had the
honor, hooked to the rough, we'll to the
left, and when Seggerman hit fino,
high shot, strnight for the pin, the
match looked to be over. But the ball,
after landing on the green, tricklcd
over into n trap beyond. Even then
the odds were all with Seggerman, who
only needed half. Kirkby got his a.,
and Seggerman, who played out safely,
ran his approach putt up to within 2
feet of tho cup. The putt for half
that would have eliminated Kirkby in
the first round hit the back of the cup
and then hoped out, quiverng upon
tho lip. but never dropping in again.

TraverS's Close Call

The intricacies Of Fate and Fame
are shown again in Jerry Travers's
close call at Garden City in 1913. He
was playing none too we'll in the last
round, having developed the tendency
to heel his irons, one of the most
wrecking Of all faults.
AS it was on the homeward journey
he dropped several long puts, one or
two for twenty or thirty feet.
At the short home hole he was badly
trapped and in the ensuing struggle to
recover finally needed an eight-foot
putt to get seven and thereby tie for
last place in the qualifying round
If one of those long puts had failed
to drop, or if that last one had stayed
out, Travers, after winning the cham
pionship the year before, would have
been completely out of it. AS it was he
barely slipped through with eleven
others when Heinie Schmidt, in the
playoff, took seven on drive and
pitch hole. Once safely inside by q
margin as thin as the segment of n
toy balloon Travers proceeded to elimi-
nate Francis Ouimet eand finally win
for the fourth time.
The gap between rank failure and q
great triumph in this case was the
matter of a surn of the coin.
