ANCIENTS' NINE SUCCUMBS ONLY AFTER STRUGGLE

The University baseball team finally broke into the winning column again yesterday afternoon, defeating a nine composed of former Crimson stars, after a stiff argument, by the score of 6 to 4 on Soldiers Field.

Until the sixth inning the Boston business men, showing some grey hairs but no bad legs or sore arms, stayed right in the game, with the score tied at 4-all. L. J. Young '23 up to this time had engaged Howard Whitmore '29, favored to start the first Yale game, on even terms until he was relieved by Wilmot Whitney '16, off whom the undergraduates, aided by an error and two base-on-balls, scored the winning brace of runs.

Richard Harte '17 was the star of the game, responding to his young son's querry to Mrs. Harte, "has Daddy been put out yet?", by banging out two singles and a double. For Harvard, W. W. Lord '28 starred, hitting a circuit clout over the head of George Owen '23 in center field and picked two nasty foulo off the back stop in the final inning. HARVARD     a.b.  r.  h.  p.o.  a.  e.
