HARVARD, 11, Yale, 3, was the joyous news heralded from New Haven, and Harvard rejoiced to have gained a victory in the enemy's country, and repaid with interest the defeat received on the home-grounds. At least thirty-five hundred people were present to behold Yale's easy victory over Harvard, and the blue was everywhere conspicuous before the game.

The game was called at 3.30 P. M. in the midst of a drizzling rain, George Hiller of New Haven being accepted conditionally as umpire by Capt. Thayer, as neither Sumner nor Reach, the specified umpires, was present. Harvard took the bat, and in the first three innings retired in striking order; Winsor alone reaching first on a hot liner to left field which Brown failed to hold, and in attempting to reach third was fielded out by Smith. Parker hit for a base, but was beautifully fielded out by Tyng to Latham. Smith took his base on balls, but fell an easy victim to Tyng and Latham. In the second and third innings Yale retired in order. Latham was left on second after making a base-hit.

Fourth Inning. - Hutchison out, Latham to Wright, Parker hit safe; Smith hit to Wright, who stood midway between home and first, and met the runner; the latter slid along the ground, and the umpire decided not out. This caused a tedious and exciting discussion between the rival captains and their assistants; and no other competent person volunteering as an umpire, the game was resumed where it had been left off. Ripley struck out, and Tyng juggled the ball sufficiently to seduce Parker from second, and then fielded him out, making a brilliant double play and withdrawing us from a precarious situation.

Fifth Inning. - Holden fouled to Smith; Wright made a base-hit; Winsor sacrificed; Howe brought in Wright with a clean hit; Hutchison gave Nunn a life on a poor throw to Downer, Howe scoring on Downer's poor throw home; Thayer made a base-hit, bringing in Nunn and going out on second himself.

Base-hits by Smith and Downer and an error by Latham gave Yale a run.

Sixth Inning. - Latham made a base-hit, stole second, gained third on Ernst's sacrifice hit, but was left by Holden.

Yale retired in order, and the subsequent proceedings interested the Yale audience no more.

Seventh Inning. - Wright hit a terrific liner to Brown, who juggled it and entitled Wright to a base-hit; Winsor hit gently to Carter, who, instead of doubling up Wright, gave him his second by a poor throw to Walden; then the hippodrome began. Howe tried to sacrifice, but Walden fumbled; bases full, Nunn tried to fly out, but Walden muffed, Wright scoring; Thayer tried to sacrifice, Walden threw wildly home, Winsor scoring; Tyng tried to sacrifice, Walden threw wildly home, Howe scoring; Latham struck to Hutchison, who made a fine pick up and forced Nunn out on home; Ernst made a base-hit, Thayer scoring; Holden hit hard to centre, caught by Brown, and Tyng was put out napping between bases, when he should have scored on the fly. Base-hits by Hutchison and Parker, and a sacrifice by Smith, earned Yale a run; an unfortunate slip gave Winsor an error, by allowing Parker to reach second on a single hit.

Eighth Inning. - Retired in order.

Ninth Inning. - Base-hits by Wright and Winsor, a bad error by Smith, and sacrifice hits by Howe and Tyng, gave Harvard three runs. A two-base hit by Hutchison, and a fumble by Latham, gave Yale her last run.

Ernst pitched very steadily, and Tyng backed him up to perfection; his catching being the marked feature of the game. Wright, Winsor, and Latham batted finely for Harvard, while Hutchison, Parker, and Smith did all the batting for Yale.

HARVARD.
