BASE-BALL.

THE Nine left by the Fall River boat on Thursday evening for Princeton, and reached Princeton Junction on Friday at 10 A. M., where they were most cordially received by the Princeton Nine and a large delegation from the college. The day was exceedingly unpropitious for base-ball, a high wind prevailing which blew directly in the face of the batsmen. Owing to afternoon recitations at Princeton, game was called at 12 o'clock, with Harvard at the bat. The game opened well for an exciting contest, as neither side scored in the first inning, notwithstanding Furman's base-hit. In the second inning, after two men were out, a fumble of Hunt's, errors by Funkhouser and Furman, and base-hits by Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left on second, the succeeding batsmen striking out. Wright made a base-hit, and scored on damaging errors by Hunt; Alger also scored on an error by Hunt, Latham's base-hit, and a wild pitch. Errors by Tyng and Ernst allowed Hamill to make third in the fourth inning. Neither side reached a base after this until the seventh inning, when base-hits by Thayer, Ernst, and Wright, aided by errors of Hunt and Cutts, gave two runs. Wigton reached second on a failure of Tyng to put him out on three strikes. Dodge struck to Nunn, who made an excellent feint at throwing to first and then threw to Latham, who put Wigton out at second; this play was very fine, and deserved the loud applause which it received. Harvard made one more run in the eighth inning on base-hits by Nunn, Fessenden, and Ernst, and errors by Furman and Cutts. The Princeton Nine were unable to bat Ernst in this game, but five men reaching first base. Our men batted Furman more heavily than they would have done had he been sure of his catcher, who was suffering from sore hands. Ernst led at the bat, Wright, Latham, and Nunn also doing well. Nunn and Wright played best in the field for Harvard, while Hamill and Dodge excelled for Princeton. Immediately after the game an excellent dinner was given to the Nine by their attentive hosts. In the evening the Princeton Glee Club and College Orchestra favored the visitors with some excellent vocal and instrumental music, after which a bountiful collation was served, to which the Harvard men did full justice.

HARVARD vs. PRINCETON. (Second Game.)ON Saturday morning the Senior class had a gymnastic contest in their fine gymnasium; many ladies were present, who evinced a great interest in the various exercises. The exhibition was remarkably fine, and there can be no doubt but that Princeton carries off the palm from other American colleges in gymnastic feats. Game was called at 2 P. M. with Princeton at the bat; the same high wind prevailed as the day before, and greatly affected the batting. Both sides drew blanks for two innings although Wright made a three-base hit over left field, which might ha e been a home run, had he not stopped running, supposing it to be a foul. Cutts and Clarke made base-hits in the third inning; Hamill struck out; Cutts stole third base, and scored on Tyng's wild throw to Latham in attempting to throw Clarke out at second; Hunt flied to Latham; Funkhouser reached first on Thayer's fumble; Dodge hit hard for right centre, but was put out by a splendid catch by Latham. Latham's splendid stop of Clarke's base-hit, and his subsequent difficult fly-catches, saved Harvard from a damaging inning. Nunn led off with a base-hit, and by clever base running stole second and third; Alger went out on a foul fly to Karge; Thayer hit hard to right field; Wigton made a good jump, and caught the ball in his left hand, and by quick fielding threw-Nunn out at home base; Alger missed Wigton's fly in the fourth, but Tyng and Latham disposed of the runner on second; Latham made another fine catch; Alger took his base on balls; Thayer flied to Wigton; Alger reached third on a wild pitch; Tyng went to first on balls; Fessenden flied to Hamill; Tyng stole second; Ernst flied to Wigton. The game was interrupted by rain for ten minutes during this inning. Clarke reached first on Wright's error, but was fielded out on second; Holden made a base-hit, but was caught on second; Wright took first on Hamill's error, and second on Latham's sacrifice hit; Nunn flied to Wigton; Hunt hit for a base in the sixth, but Tyng and Latham caught him at second; Wright made a fine pick-up of a low throw by Nunn; Fessenden caught a hard fly; Tyng reached second on an error by Hunt and a stolen base, but was left by Hunt's good fly-catches. The game at this point began to look very doubtful for Harvard, the score standing Princeton 1, Harvard 0. Princeton retired in order. Holden hit an easy fly to Furman, who muffed; two passed balls sent him to third; Wright struck out; Latham struck to pitcher, who caught Holden off his base and put him out on the home plate, Latham taking second during the play and scoring on Funkhouser's wild throw to cut him off at third; Nunn took his third on a wild throw to first by Funkhouser, who had missed his third strike; Alger then went to the bat amid great excitement, and hit a splendid ball to centre field, bringing in Nunn; he then took second and third on Funkhouser's errors, and scored on Thayer's base-hit; Thayer, by a wild pitch and good base running, reached third, but was left on Tyng's out by Hunt to Karge. After Nunn's strike in this inning, Funkhouser was obliged to retire from the catcher's position, and Snook was substituted. The game was interrupted during this inning by a heavy fall of rain, and time was called for twenty minutes. Princeton went to the bat in the eighth inning, determined to retrieve their fallen fortunes; Karge led off with a base-hit; Cutts and Clarke retired on sacrifice hits, and Hamill struck out, leaving Karge on third. Harvard retired in order, Princeton following suit in the ninth, Latham making another fine catch. Nunn hit for a base, but was left by Dodge's catch of a hard fly. Mr. Dennison umpired very impartially, and was extremely satisfactory to both sides. The victory was mainly due to Latham's remarkable fielding, Nunn's fine batting and base running, and Alger's timely base hit. Harvard batted hard, but the head wind, and fine fielding of Wigton, Dodge, and Hunt lost several base-hits. Furman pitched very effectively; his delivery is very swift and hard to hit; towards the close of the game he was unable to do himself justice, owing to the swollen condition of Funkhouser's hands. If the latter can learn to hold the pitching with gloves, Harvard will have to look out for her laurels on June 7th and 8th, The applause was very impartially given to both sides, and a single slight attempt to applaud one of Harvard's errors was drowned in a storm of hisses. The Nine were accompanied to Princeton Junction by a number of their Princeton friends, and were started on their homeward journey with an ovation of cheers and well wishes for the coming Yale game.
