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!
