Between eight and nine hundred persons went up to the Polo Grounds in New York last Saturday to see the first championship ball game of the College League. About eight hundred and seventy-five of these spectators were ardent admirers of the blue and white, and were expecting an easy victory for the home team, coached and trained as it was in the school of the celebrated New York "Giants." In this they were grievously mistaken. The Harvard men got down to work on the first ball pitched, and did not let go their grip until twenty-seven Columbia players...
