...game was called at 3 o'clock with Yale at the bat. Hubbard sent a hardliner to right field, which was muffed by Crocker.

Hopkins who was thus left at first, stole second, with a narrow margin, went to third on a wild pitch, and came home on Terry's base hit to right field. Terry...

He was unfortunate in making his first error of the season. Lovering, at second, made several very difficult stops and throws. For the Newtons, Bowen did the best work. The score...
