THE second game in our series with Yale proved to be the most exciting that was ever played on Jarvis Field. The Yale nine, expecting an easy victory, was accompanied by two hundred members of their college, while a large audience of ladies and graduates appeared to support the Crimson. The game was won in the first innings. Yale went to the bat. Parker drove a long fly to centre field, which Nichols captured. Lamb got first by Richardson's error, and took second as Folsom balked. Hutchinson hit safely to right, sending Lamb to third, Walden bringing him and Hutchinson home on a single. Camp was fielded out by Richardson to Shattuck, and Nichols caught Hopkins out on a fly.
For Harvard, Coolidge led off with a base-hit; Olmsted struck for a single over short-stop; Fessenden was first out on a sacrifice hit, sending Coolidge to third, who reached home on a passed ball. Winsor took first on nine balls. Olmsted was put out in trying to score on a hit to Walden by Shattuck. Nichols was third out, second to first.
No more runs were made on either side, although in the 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th innings Harvard had a man left on third. In the 9th innings, with two men out and two on bases, Fessenden hit a splendid fly to right, which was taken by Clark - thus ending the game. Had it gone but two feet higher we must have got two runs. Wilbur's umpiring was admirable. The score follows: -
