Defeats Princeton Yesterday on the Polo
Grounds-e Close Game-2,5OO Spectn-
tors.
Yale and Princeton met on the Polo
grounds yesterday and played a holly con-
tested game. 1t had been confidently pre-
dicted close match, as Princeton had lest
but one game and Yale none, and both may
be said to have expected success. Fully g.
500 spectators were present, large part be-
ing delegations from the colleges. At 1:15
play was called with Yale at the bat, and the
first three men were successfully put out at
first. Princeton got two men on bases, but
had them left there. In the second inning
both were blanked on strikes and balls. In
the third two men were out when Carpenter
reached first on q base hit, stole second, got
third on wild pitch and went home on Hub
bards base hit. Much applause from Yale
supporters. Hubbard reached third, but
was left there by Griggs' striking
out. For Princeton Wilson reached
first by poor throw of short stop to first
base, worked around to third, and was left
on base. Score L to o. In the fourth Childs
reached first by overthrow of short stop,
stole to second, and came in by base hit of
Terry. Princeton was retired in order.
Score to O. The fifth was the fatal inning
for the orange and black. Souther openedwith
hit that took him to third. Carpenter reach
ed first. Hubbard's bat to center field was
muffed, this sending Souther home and leav-
ing two men on bases. Hopkins flied out
to first but brought in Carpenter. Jones
hit easily to short stop. who threw to first
baseman. He ingloriously dropped it and
gave time to Hubbard to run to
the home plate. Jones was put
out by neat play of pitcher and
I,on I'd h
ing first; score 5 to 0. Now the blue waved
and rahs for Yale came from all quarters of
the field, while the orange and black flag
hung at half mast. In the sixth Yale went
out on flies and strikes. Princeton put tive
men on bases and they stayed there. The
seventh has become additionally Yale's fatal
inning on account of the many reverses met
at that period of the game. The usual hard
luck attended it now. Hubbard only reached
first and was prettily thrown out there. For
Princeton J. M. Harlan was allowed to make
first by the catcher's passed ball. Shaw fol-
lowed by short stops poor throw to first base.
Edwards base hit sent home Harlan. Will
sons base hit sent around the two men on
bases. He was put out in stealing second.
Score to 3. Princeton men improved this
opportunity for making great deal of noise
and INDUCING in high hopes. The rest of
the game was more critical. 1t was not to
be one-sided as it seemed the inning before.
1ale went out In 1, z, 3 order IN the next
two innings. Princeton made one base hit
in the eighth, but in the ninth Shaw by error
of second base reached first andAntrim follow
ed by error of right field. Princeton now
wildly cheered every good play of their men
and rather discourteously the faults of Yale.
Wilson landed fly in the hands of center
field, who threw the ball home too late to
cut off Shaw. It was quickly put to Terry,
who touched out Edwards at second, finish
ing the game, Score 5 to f. Yale excelled
in fielding and base running. Princeton
batted Jones severely at times and also did
some good fielding. The pitching of both
mines was remarkable. Yale's hitting was
opportunely helped by Princeten's errors
and told with double force
