The small delegation of Harvard supporters who accompanied the nine to Princeton were amply repaid for their journey. Although the weather in the morning was very unpromising, the skies began to clear about noon, and it was decided not to postpone the game. The number of spectators was small, chiefly composed of Princeton men, but they had few opportunities during the game to cheer the playing of their nine.

The first inning opened with Harvard at the bat and King in the box for Princeton. It was erroneously supposed that after the fine work King had done here a week ago, he would be able to hold down the opposing team to few hits. Such hopes soon vanished, for in the first inning Harvard began to bat the ball all over the field, and had scored six runs before the third man was put out. Princeton succeeded in getting a man around to third in the first inning, but failed to score, and her subsequent efforts proved equally disastrous. In the second inning Harvard scored three more runs, and in the third two, pounding the ball unmercifiully. This finished the run-getting, as in the fourth inning Mercer was substituted for King, and his curves proved too puzzling to be hit with any frequency out of the reach of the fielders. From the fourth inning until the end of the game, both sides were unable to get a man farther than third base.

For Harvard, Bates pitched a brilliant game, striking out twelve men, and Henshaw supported him in good style. Willard led at the bat. The fielding. as a whole, was very fair, and Gallivan played his usual steady game at second.

The Princeton team had more chances to make brilliant plays than Harvard, and Durrell and Watts especially distinguished themselves by difficult running catches. Ames held both King and Mercer well. The fielding of the entire Princeton team was a great improvement over that shown here last Monday. Following is the score:-
