The First Harvard-Yale Game.

YALE, 5; HARVARD, 4.One of the closest games ever played on Holmes Field took place on the 26th of last June. The result of the game gave the championship to Yale, but Harvard succumbed only after a most stubborn fight. The game was won and lost by both teams over and over, and only the most brilliant plays on the part of both nines at critical points prolonged the game to its thirteenth inning. The Yale men showed the result of their course of severe training, for they played throughout with great steadiness. Harvard was handicapped by the lameness of Willard, who got but two bases on a three base hit in the eleventh inning.

For Yale, McConkey did some phenomenal work at second while Kellogg covered himself with glory in right field. For Harvard, Foster did the most telling work; cutting off no less than four men at the plate by his accurate throws from left field. Henshaw caught well. Appended is the score:
