 which the home team got in three runs, due to an error by Mason at the plate, and a wild throw to second by Highlands, which sent in two runs. In Harvard's ninth innings they failed to score and the blue came in victors by 3 to 0 with an innings to spare. The attendance was the largest ever seen on the Yale field, the galaxy of New Haven beauties present being the attractive feature. Here is the score:

Bases on balls—Harvard, 1. Left on bases—Yale, 5; Harvard, 5. Three-base hit—Trafford. Struck out—Stephenson, Speer, 2; Arbuthnot, Kedzie, 2; Upton, 2; Sullivan, Trafford, 2. Passed balls—Mason, 2. Attendance, 6,000. Umpires—Curry and Bond.

The third and last game of the series was played at the Polo Grounds on July 1st, with the self-same batteries in position, and this time Harvard led the score from start to finish, fielding errors giving the game to the victors, as the earned runs were even 2 to 2, while Yale led in base hits by 8 to 7. We saw this game and therefore give a complete analytical score of the contest, one which the college clubs should adopt for 1894, as it gives the chances for catches offered off the pitching, as well as the number of runners forwarded by base hits, both of which show the weak and strong points of the batting, which the other scores do not.
