OWEN MEETS DEFEA

SpeoiGl Dispatch 10 THE NEw YORK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, June g.
Whether it was the report of the
voluntary committee" or the flash
ing of crimson hosiery which put pep
per into the Yale baseball team is
not certain, but something caused the
lSlis to play flashy game of ball this
afternoon, resulting in route of the
vauntcd Harvard nine. : to 3.
Yale played all around Capt. Con-
Ions team. and George owen, the big
first baseman for Harvard, had a
taste of some of the medicine he has
given Yale in football basketball and
hockey during his two years as a
varsity player. 1t was the first time
he has played on a losing team
against his Blue rivals and he will
well remember the event.
With one run over. a man on second
and with hope in sight Owen crashed
terrific liner toward left center as
the last batter up. but Capt Mac"
.Aldrich made marvellous putout of the
effort spcaring the ball after a great
leap over toward third base.
IT was a fitting climax to one of the
greatest athletic records ever hung up
by a Yale athlete. For three years
Aldrich has played varsity football and
baseball for Yale and this was his last
appearance on Yale Field.
10000 Fans at Game.
Twenty thousand fans, the largest
crowd that ever jammed it's way into
the field. saw the game. thousands of
these being left over commencement
guests of both Yale and Harvard. This
was the opening game of the series,
which was due to start last Tuesday.
Yale put over seven runs in the sec
ond inning. after Harvard had sent one
across the plate in that frame. 1t was
enough TO win the game by several runs
and gave Chittenden, who went the
route for Yale, something to work on.
1t was a wild inning during which
Gehrke, after sending many wireless
messages for help, was knocked out Of
the box. The big pitcher was relieved
by Russell, who kept Yale runners away
from the home plate after that session.
Warren drew a base on balls as
starter and went to third on Eddys
single to right. On the throw to catch
Warren at third Eddy arrived at sec

filed. Mallory allowed q slow one to
hit him in the Delt ana Yale nrSt run
was forced over the rubber. Chitten-
den bided his time and with two and
three on him sent a long fly to the left
field which Janin allowed to drop on
the chalk line in the belief that the hit

The Crimson left fielder later retrieved
this mental lapse. however, by playing
a smart game. On Chittenden's hit,
Eddy and Kelley scored. Crane hit Gehrke
and was thrown out at first in close
play. O'Hearn poked a safe fly over sec

point Coach Slattery waved Gehrke off
the mound. Russell was greeted by
Eddy, who slammed out his second hit
of the inning. Eddy stole second but was
left as Kelley wound up the attack on an
infield out. Harvard was never very
dangerous after that.
Harvards first run was the result of
freak play. Hallock singled over second
and Janin singled to right field. Mike
Eddy, always alert. made n ine throw
to the plate, but Mallory. who vas play
ing low. let the ball bound over his head.
