THE FIRST YALE GAME.

Contrary to its usual custom the University baseball team will this year play the first game of the series with Yale at New Haven. It is impossible to predict with any assurance the outcome of this afternoon's game. Neither team can be said to have had a very successful season, and both have suffered heavily from injuries. Aronson's mishap, in particular, had apparently a demoralizing effect on the team, and it has taken a month to reconstruct the outfield. In addition, during nearly the entire season the pitching has depended on one man. This, quite naturally, is a heavy strain for a college pitcher to bear.

The Yale series, however, is undoubtedly the most important factor in determining whether the season shall be successful or not. The University team is certainly capable of strong and aggressive baseball, and we may confidently expect that against Yale the team will play its best game.
