Yale Squelches Crimson on Diamond, 9-3

Yale heightened its chances of winning the Eastern Intercollegiate League baseball championship to the intense disappointment of 4500 Alumni at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon, as Frank Quinn, fireballing ace, set the Crimson down 9 to 3, allowing six hits and fanning 10 men in the process.

For the Crimson, righthander Jack Wallace lasted eight innings and gave up all the runs, and all of the Elis '13 bits. He was lifted for a pinch hitter in the Varsity's two-run eighth inning. Left-hander Ira Godin came on in the ninth and set the Elis down in order.

Must Win Two

The Blue must now win two of their remaining three games--two with Princeton and one more with the Crimson--to clinch the E.I.L., title. Yesterday afternoon's victory was Quinn's fifth consecutive win in League competition this year.

Yale scored in each of the first four innings. Jitters caught the Crimson starter, Wallace, early as he pitched eight straight balls and hit the third man in the Blue batting order to load the bases and set the stage for Bolt Elwell's high hopper. Going from first to second on the hit, Yale third baseman Dick Mathews crashed into Jack Forts, who was unable to handle the chance. Two runs came across on the play.

While the Crimson was unable to do anything effective at the plate, Yale put together a stolen base, an infield error, two singles, a double, and some hard base-running for single tallies in the second and third.

Crimson Finally Score

After six scoreless frames, the Crimson took advantage of one Eli fielding lapse to punch their first run over. John Coppinger walked and went to second on Quinn's error on an attempted pickoff. At this stage of the game, Forte came through with his first hit of the day, breaking the scoring ice for the Varsity.

Two more Crimson runs pattered across the plate int he eighth when Mariaschin walked, took third on Brendan Reilly's pinch double, and scored in front of Walt Adler, who ran for Reilly, on Yale's first-sacker George' Bush's mishandling of Caulfield's pinch bid for a hit.
