BROOKLYN, June l9--After an unsuccess-
ful attempt on last Saturday to decide the
college baseball championship the repre-
sentatives Of Yale and Princeton again
met yesterday at Eastern park Brooklyn,
to settle the question OF supremacy. The
0,000 or more people who attended at the
grounds saw an even better game than the /
same teams played on the previous occa
sion Stagg, the Yale fayorite, was IN the
box, and Young twirled the ball for the |
Princetons The team work Of the New
Haven boys was Of a very high order and |
by far better than some Of thee professional
clubs have given rs recently The rival
college forces were gathered in different
portions OF the stand, and not an oppor |
tunity was lost TO make themselves heard |
Dana's Nose Broken.
The incidents Of the day began early.
While the Princeton team had the diamond
during the preliminary practice Woodcock,
the substitute knocked a hot grounder
along the right foul line The ball took an
ugly bound and struck Damn full IN the
face, breaking his nose and almost knock
ing him down. The injured organ bled
profusely and Dana retired. Capt Brokaw
tried to prevail upon him to give up his
intention 20 play, but Dana would not be
dissuaded and when the game was called
he took his place as usual.
Cheers for stagg.
