SENIORS WON FIRST GAME

The Seniors defeated the Yale 1911 team at New Haven yesterday afternoon in easy fashion by the score of 8 to 4. Yale lead until the fourth inning when the Seniors started to tally. Yale started the scoring in the first session when A. Sweetser dropped a fly with two out and the bases full. Two more runs were scored in the third when Cotting's throw bounded over J. a. Sweetser's head and Sexton made a wild pitch.

Harvard scored three in the fourth on Minot's single, Harvey's pass and singles by Sexton and Twitchell. In the seventh, the Seniors tallied two more when Johnson and Chase scored on Mills's error, and another two in the eighth when A. Sweetser doubled with men on bases. The final tally came in the ninth after Sexton's infield out with a man on third base.

The features of the game were the pitching of Sexton, a remarkable catch by Hille, the Yale centre fielder, of A. Sweetser's long drive, and a pretty assist by Twitchell. The game was a pitcher's battle until the eighth inning when the Yale support weakened. Each pitcher had twelve strike-outs to his credit.
