The Harvard supporters at the baseball game yesterday enjoyed the double privilege of witnessing an intensely exciting and well-played contest, and of seeing a Harvard team bring victory out of defeat by one of the grittiest fights in the annals of Harvard-Yale games. We extend our heartiest congratulations to the team for its splendid start in the Yale series; and when the players leave for New Haven Monday, they will go with the assurance that the whole University is awaiting the result of the second game with eager and confident anticipation.

It is to be hoped that Harvard will be well represented in the stands at the New Haven game. We are sure that the team will be much better able to cope with the advantage which the Yale players will derive from the inspiration of a Class Day crowd if they are backed by a large Harvard cheering section. We would suggest that those who contemplate witnessing the races at New London should make their plans to reach New Haven on Tuesday, and have the opportunity--as we hope--of seeing Harvard victorious in two of her major sports.
