As if defeat cast its shadow before, only about a dozen Yale men accompanied their nine to Cambridge yesterday. These men were remarkably quiet (for Yale men), their voices being heard but few times during the game and when they did break forth it was in a way which discouraged, rather than animated their comrades.

The cheer was not Yale's customary quick and sharp one. But then, Yale was unaccompanied by its mascot, the gray cat, which doubtless accounts for Stagg's inability to pitch.

Harvard was first at the bat and was quickly retired; Wiestling by a ground hit to short, Foster who struck out, and Campbell who flied out to Stagg. For Yale, Stagg went out on an easy grounder, Mumford to Willard; Kellogg struck out, and Noyes flied out to Bingham. In the second, Harvard started in to make runs and continued to do so for the rest of the game. Yale went to pieces in this inning, the result being four runs for Harvard, only one of which was earned. Willard led off with a rattling hit between centre and left which netted three bags. Henshaw knocked an easy one to McConkey; Bingham who was running for Willard started to go home; McConkey seeing the uselessness of trying to field him out at the plate, threw to Spencer to cut off Henshaw. Spencer stood as one dazed at seeing Harvard score, and the result was, Harvard one run and Henshaw on first; a base on balls advanced the latter one base. Bingham flied out. Mumford reached first on a missed third strike, and Linn's two base hit with the bases full, netted Harvard three runs, none earned. This closed the run getting as Wiestling and Foster both flied out. For Yale, Hunt led off with a two base hit, was advanced a base by Spencer's sacrifice, and came in on an attempt by Campbell to field him out at the plate on Dann's hit to third. Dann was left on second by the next two men striking out.

In the third Campbell made hit and took third on a passed ball; Willard and Henshaw flied out to Hunt while Boyden was put out on a ground hit to Spencer. Campbell was left on third. For Yale Stewart flied out. Stagg got a life on an excusable error by Wiestling, was advanced to third on Kellogg's single and came in on Willard's error, Kellogg in the meanwhile going to second. Noyes knocked a high fly Wiestling, which was nicely captured Hunt got his base on Willard's muff and Kellogg scored on the same error. Hunt stole second and got out on third, Henshaw to Campbell.

In the fourth, Bingham led off with a hit, was advanced a base on a passed ball and was left on second by the next three men, who struck out. For Yale, Spencer got his base on balls, which by the way, was the only base on balls given to Yale. He tried to steal second but Henshaw was to quick for him and he was put out. Cross made a two-base hit, stole third in grand style, but was left by McConkey's striking out.

In the fifth, Harvard was disposed of quickly, Foster made a good single, but was put out trying to get to second on Dann's catch of Campbell's high fly, Willard filed out to Hunt. For Yale, Stewart led off with a fly which Foster captured after a hard run. Stagg made a hit and was advanced to third on Kellogg's single to Linn, who held the ball so long that Stagg ran home and Kellogg took second. The latter stole third, Noyes in the mean while flying out to Foster. Hunt then knocked a "pop" fly to Mumford which the latter muffed, upon which Kellogg scored. Hunt was caught napping soon after and was put out, Bingham to Willard.

The score was now five to four in Yale's favor, and Harvard went to the bat determined to push matters. Henshaw made a good attempt at a hit, but was caught out by Cross after a long run. Boyden made a hit, stole second, was advanced a base on Bingham's single, and was put out at home by Stewart on Mumford's short hit to third. With two men out and two on bases, Linn got his base on balls. With the bases full, Wiestling knocked a grounder to Noyes which was fumbled, and two men scored. Foster got his base on balls and the bases were again full. Campbell came to the bat and hit hard to the field, but Hunt was there and put the side out by capturing the fly. For Yale, the men were retired in order amid the cheers of the Harvard men, to whom affairs were taking a brighter turn.

In the seventh both Harvard and Yale were retired in order.

In the eighth, Harvard failed to score, mostly on account of poor coaching. Bingham made his third consecutive hit, but was put out in a foolhardy attempt to steal second. For Yale, the men were retired in one' two, three order.

In the ninth Harvard added one to her score. Wiestling made a rattling single which Cross failed to stop and Wiestling took second on it. Foster flied out to Cross. Campbell fouled out. With two men out, Willard got a base on balls. was advanced to third on Henshaw's hit and was left there by Boyden's hit to Noyes. Wiestling scored on Henshaws hit, making the seventh and last run for Harvard.

In the ninth, Yale got Dann on second by Boyden's excusable error of Dann's high fly. Cross hit to Campbell who made a feint to throw him out at first. Dann ran to third and was put out by Campbell. McConkey finished the game by striking out.

At the close, the Harvard men were carried from the field on the backs of their fellow students. In front of the gymnasium a crowd collected and cheered for the nine as a whole and for each individual player.

Bingham pitched a great game for Harvard, striking out seven men, two more than Stagg struck out. His batting also was scientific. Wiestling played a fine game at short, while Linn distinguished himself in right field. The battery work of Bingham and Henshaw was well-nigh perfect. Foster played his usual good game.

For Yale, Kellogg and Hunt excelled at the bat, while Hunt played a remarkable fielding game, putting out six men. Dann played well behind the bat.

About thirty-five hundred persons witnessed the game. Mr. Fulmer was the umpire and there was much fault to be found with his umpiring. The Glee and Banjo Clubs gave a concert in the yard in honor of Yale, but the Yale boys were compelled to leave for Boston immediately after the game. The score:
