Wal- | ters, Love and Miller were the of- fenders and their poor work, coupled | ith the only batting outburst shown the Rowland troupe during the ame, put the Easterners to rout. The final score was 6 ta 2. Huggins' men yesterday did not re- ! motely resemble the team which made such an impression on Chicago Saturday. The fielding was rag; and the hitting was very weak. After getting two runners all the wa und in the opening inning on two hits, a pass and an crror, the Yanks became remarkably quiet and only one runner passed second base during the .re- mainder of the game. That was in the fifth, when Waliers reached third and Gilhooley second with two out. Peck ended the inning with a fly to | Felsch after missing a double past third by inches. Hugglins used three boxmen and the pitching was all that could be expect- | ed, except in the fifth, when Slim Love was chased to the showers. Slim walked three Sox up to the fifth, but not & hit flew from the bat of any of the champions.

Chicago, June 3.—James Barnes, of Broadmoor Club, olorado Springs, and Jock Hutchinson of Glen View Club, Chicago, professional cham- pions, yesterday defeated Chick Evans, national champion and War- ren Wood, formerly Western amateur | champion, in a Red Cross golf match at the Olympia Fields club, 2 up, al- though Evans had low score of 7 The professionals took 80 strok each, while Wood required 89. The best ball of the professionals was 77, which defeated the amateurs, as Ivans' score was not bettered at any of the eighteen holes by his partner. Some 5,000 spectators, led by the Great Lakes Naval Band, contributed $3,800 to the Red Cross during the play, while the auctioning of balls | used by the contestants and other sales during the evening increased the amount to more than $5,000. i | | | CROWNED WITH GLORY. | New Haven, June 3.—In a ragged- ly-played baseball game, Yale defeat- ed Harvard, 5 to 3, here Saturday, | blosing the season without a defeat | for the first-time in Yale baseball his lory. Extreme heat apparently af- ected the players in both teams, the arvard infleld giving an unusually ragged exhibition, while Frank Tal- kott the brilliant Yale twirler, whose bitching has whitewashed Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell and Partmouth this season, was touched recly, especially in the third inning hen four singles and an error netted ! he visitors all their runs.

It is true the team did not pack much of a punch in Saturday’s game, but beating Cooper is quite a work for the Giants, let alone hitting | him hard. At present he is about the hardest pitcher in the league for them to handle. He shut them out twice last season and again in Pittsburgh the spring. He will take another whirl at the Giants in the last game of the series next Wednesday. | The club’s pitching just at present is one of McGraw’s leading worries, but all tcams dur have patched up pitching staffs. This especially is true of the National league teams.

Much of the credit for the team’s success must go to Frank Baker, the clubbing third baseman of the team. At the age of 32, Frank is playing the grandest game of his life.
