Manhattan on Beaver Field. Base ball Manager J. H. Himes has added another splendid game to his list for the coming season. This new feature is the Manhattan college nine for April 14th and one of the strongest college teams in the coun try, also a decided rival of ours. No less than four contests have been played between State and Manhattan during the past four years, and the New Yorkers have won three of these. In 1903 on the Eastern trip State’s nine under Captain Rhorbach were defeated by Manhattan by a score of 9to 1. But that same season the New Yorkers came here to Beaver Field for the Commencement game after winning 32 out of 33 games from the best college teams of the East, and then did State’s ’O3 nine get together in magnificent shape, and win out in one of the grand est games ever witnessed on Bea ver Field. Thefinal score was 3to 2, the game abounding in bril liant plays, and one of “Jack” Elder’s famous timely singles won for the “Old White and Blue,” while “ Dan’’Miller's twirling was superb. State’s nine lined up as follows in that memorable battle, “ Bob ” Huber, catcher; ‘ ‘ Dan ’ ’ Miller, pitcher; “Jack” Elder, shortstop; “Ed” Ray, first; “Bud” Sharpe, second; “Dutch” Landis, third; “Irish” Mcllveen, left-field; “Telly” Rhorbach, mid dle; “Chick” Yeakle, right. A day later all graduated from college excepting Elder, Ray, and Mc llveen; and the last named player is the only one of that valiant team now at State. The genial, courteous, self-sacrificing “ Chick” Yeckle was killed by a railroad train at Swiss vale, Pa., two months after his grad uation, while all the other men of the 'O3 base ball crowd, including al so Hewitt, Bradley, and Dodge, are keeping an interested eye on the do- THE STATE COLLEGIAN ings of State’s present nine. The 1904 Varsity nine included seven new players, Kilmer, Mason, Havarslick, Forkum, Moorhead, Thompson, and Newton, but made a splendid record, winning 13 out of 18 college games, and defeating Princeton 8 to 1. But Captain ‘ ‘ Jack ’ ’ Elder and his crew were again vanquished in New York by the Manhattanites, the tally stand ing 6 to 0, the worst defeat of the season. Again in 1905 was the “cigar box” grounds in evidence and Cap tain Ray’s nine was slaughtered 13 to 2 by Manhattan, although the season’s record of 15 victories and 3 defeats was the finest ever made by a nine representing ‘ ‘the White and Blue.” So that, it is plainly evident that State’s nine for ’O6 must get to gether in top-notch shape, and de feat Manhattan here on Beaver Field April 14th, for it will take the best variety of base ball to produce this victory!
