...last minute, of their regular pitcher. Yet, in spite of this, the score was a close one. To-day the men have the advantage of playing on home grounds with the sympathies of the crowd strongly with them. They have also had excellent practice in the class championship series, and should be in condition to make a creditable showing. That they are capable of playing well has frequently been proved, and the University expects them to-day to do their utmost to alone for their first defeat. We wish them every success...

...declined to arbitrate the question of arranging a third game of baseball in case the first two should result in a tie. This practically puts an end to all correspondence, and we are in a fair way to have last year's experiences repeated a season with the championship undecided. It is useless for Yale to lay the blame of this upon Harvard. By her own persistent, uncompromising spirit she has refused not only to consider Harvard's first proposition to play the tie game after the other two, but she has curtly declined to leave the matter...

If it had been shown to be unreasonable she ought to have been willing to abide by the decision, for the sake of deciding the championship. But here is just the point where Yale's sportsmanlike spirit can be doubted.

...correspondence is looked up. It contains, however, practically the same arguments advanced by Yale in previous letters. These were clearly refuted in the last Harvard letter sent to New Haven and published in the CRIMSON of May 6. As matters now stand there is little probability of settling the championship this season if the two scheduled games result as they generally do. To avoid this Harvard has exhausted every means now at her disposal, except the one of giving in completely to Yale's unreasonable demand. There the question rests for the present, if not permanently...
