The Yale freshman baseball team defeated the Freshman nine in a close and interesting game on Yale Field, Saturday afternoon, by a score of 7 to 6. The loss of the game was due to Yale's timely hitting and two costly errors by the Freshman fielders in the last half of the ninth inning.

Wallace, the first Yale man at bat, made a home run. Yale scored two more runs in the third inning, when Bynner got his base on balls, went to third on Greene's error, and scored on a hit by Drisko, who reached home on Behr's single. In the next inning, with two out, emerick got to second on Russell's error, Bynner received a base on balls, and both scored on Drisko's long hit to right field.

The Freshmen did not score until the seventh inning, when singles by Brennan, Dexter, and Russell, a hit by Mahar, and Lasley's error resulted in three runs. Dexter reached first on Bynner's error in the ninth inning; Russell's single advanced him to second, and Giles's hit to left field brought both men home. Giles scored on Mahar's hit.

In the last half of the ninth inning Emerick and Bynner got to first on successive errors by Greene and Tweed. Barnes, batting for Drisko, struck out, but Wallace's infield hit filled the bases, and Behr's two-base hit scored the winning run for the Yale freshmen.

Brennan pitched a fairly effective game for the Freshmen, but weakened with men on bases. Tweed, at catch, threw to bases accurately, allowing only one stolen base. Mahar's batting and fielding was a feature of the game.

Next Saturday afternoon, on Soldiers Field, the Yale freshman team will play a return game with the Freshman nine.
