The Yale Game.

Saturday afternoon Harvard played Yale at New Haven for the first time this season and was defeated by a score of 14 to 5. The weather was all that could be desired for ball playing, and there was an enormous crowd in attendance. The grand stand was packed with spectators and rows of carriages three or four deep nearly surrounded the whole field. There were two or three very unpleasant features connected with the game. The crowd cheered at Harvard's errors, and crys of "drop it" were heard whenever a fly was knocked to one of our men. Such ungentlemanly and "muckerish" treatment is certainly not to be expected from college men. The Yale nine treated the Harvard team courteously. and it is to be regretted that as much cannot be said of the spectators. The umpiring was simply absurd. The man seemed wholly unfit for his position. Harvard will protest him, and Mr. Fulmer will probably never have an opportunity to umpire another game in the College League. Both teams suffered from his decisions, but Harvard was by far the greater sufferer, His decisions on balls and strikes, and his base decisions were equally bad. Up the last half of the sixth innings, the game was intensely interesting and well played. In that innings with two men out and two men on bases a ball was knocked to Wiestling and he clearly threw the man out at first. But the umpire called the man safe, and two runs were scored. This disheartened the Harvard nine, for they had been playing against the umpire throughout the game, and after that their playing lacked snap. Campbell's hands were in a terrible condition, and pained him greatly throughout the game but he pluckily stuck the game out. In the eighth inning he was struck by a foul tip and had had to stop playing for a few minutes. After that Boyden evidently let up, and the result was that Yale batted the ball all over the field.

Harvard was first at the bat. Wiestling flied out to Kellogg, Linn flied out to Noyes, and Campbell was thrown out at first by Stewart. For Yale, Stagg was thrown out at first by Boyden, Noyes made a hit, took second on Kellogg's out, Boyden to Willard, and came home on Hunt's single which was fumbled by Foster. Spencer fouled out.

In the second inning, Willard and Boyden struck out and Bingham flied out to Hunt.: Dann struck out, McConkey made a hit, and was thrown out at second by Campbell. Stewart got his base on balls and Brigham's hit sent Stewart to second. But Brigham was forced out at second on Stagg's grounder to Mumford.

In the third, Foster flied out to McConkey, Mumford made a hit and stole second and third but was left there as the next two men struck out. Noyes flied out to Bingham, Kellogg knocked a grounder to Wiestling, but Willard failed to hold the ball. Hunt's grounder was fumbled by Holden and Kellogg took second. Spencer drove the ball to Holden forcing Kellogg out at third, and Dann went out, Mumford to Willard.

In the fourth, Linn flied out to Kellogg, Campbell fouled out, Willard got first on Stagg's fumble, and Boyden fouled out. McConkey got his base on balls, stole second and got home on Holden's wild throw of Stewart's hot grounder. Brigham's liner was caught by Mumford who threw to first and caught Stewart off the base, making a double play. Stagg got his base on balls and stole second but was left there as Noyes flied out to Mumford.

In the fifth, Bingham flied out to Kellogg, Foster knocked a fly to left field which Brigham muffed and threw wild, and Faster went to third. Foster was thrown out at the plate in attempting to come home on Mumford's hit to McCockey. Holden struck out. For Yale, Kellogg went out, Wiestling to Willard. Hunt made a hit and stole second, and Spencer's single sent Hunt to third. The next two men fouled out.

Sixth inning. Wiestling made a hit and stole second. Linn flied out to Kellogg and Campbell was thrown out at first by Noyes. Willard then drove the ball over Hunt's head for three bases, and Wiestling scored. Willard scored on Boyden's single, and Bingham fouled out. Stewart flied out to Boyden. Bingham made a hit and went to second on a passed ball. Stagg flied out to Holden. Noyes then made a single and Brigham took third. Kellogg knocked a hot grounder to Wiestling who threw him out at first, but the umpire would not allow it, and Brigham and Noyes scored. Hunt went out, Holden to Willard.

In the seventh, Foster got first on Noyes' wild throw, but was thrown out at second. Mumford was thrown out at first by Stewart, and Holden struck out. Spencer got first on Holden's fumble, but was forced out at second on Dann's hit to Holden. Campbell threw Dann out at second. McConkey made a two-bagger and scored on Stewart's single. Brigham went out, Mumford to Willard.

In the eighth, Wiestling flied out to Noyes, McConkey thew Linn out at first, and Campbell struck out. For Yale, Stagg got first on a missed third strike, and then five singles, a two bagger, and Dann's home run aided by a wild throw, a passed ball and a wild pitch, gave Yale nine runs, five of them earned. Bingham pitched the last part of this inning and one of the hits was made off him. In the ninth Willard struck out, Boyden flied out to Hunt, and Bingham got his base on Spencer's fumble, but was thrown out at second.

Harvard played a fair fielding game in the first part of the game but their batting was very weak. They did not seem to hit the ball squarely and they kept batting it into the air. This proved disasterous with such a fine fielding team as Yale has. Campbell caught remarkably well, and Boyden pitched a good game up to the eighth inning. He was especially effective when there were men on bases. Mumford and Wiestling fielded well. Yale played a wonderful game both at the bat and in the field. Their battery work was about perfect and McConkey and Kellogg fielded especially well. McConkey, Brigham, Noyes and Hunt led at the bat. The score:
