A PITCHERS' BATTLE.

Yale '95 Wins Over the Princeton Freshmen by 8 Score of 2 to 1- Hewlett Plays a Great Game-Davls Pitched in Excellent Form. The juniors were not the only collegians l that said last night that what is the matter l with the freshmen is that they are all Yale field yesterday afternoon did not ex- ceed 400, but the freshmen were out in full force, and with their blue flags gave the bleachers bIue-gr hue.
 The game was the best freshman game that has been played on the Yale field. Hewlett distinguished himself at second and Davis and Payne for the visitors in the outfeld.
 Princeton had the first chance at the new ball. Brooks knocked the ball to Sheffield and went out at first. Trenchard hit the ball to the other side of the diamond and Hewett threw him out. Payne tried Shef- fields side of the diamond and made the third out.
 Van Nortwick got two strikes on Dwight and then threw four balls everywhere but over the plate. Sheffield sacrificed and advanced him base. Carter made hit and, while they were holding the ball to keep Dwight from coming in, went to sec ond. Spier struck out, but Bissell didn't hold the third strike, and while he was putting Spier out at first, Dwight scored. In the second inning Blair got his base on balls, Davis hit grounder to Dwight, who threw to Hewlett to Carter, making 8 very pretty double play, and Otto struck out.
 The game from this point until Yale'a half of the fifth inning, although played with spirit, was featureless.
 In the fifth Hinckey hit grounder to- ward first. Van Nortwick started for it and Otto covered first, but before Van Nortwick could pick up the ball and go through the Delsartean system of gymnas and third. Bissell tried to shut him off on third, but threw high, and before the cen- ter fielder could find the ball and throw it home the venturesome freshman had scored. Sayles made hit, but was forced at second. Hewlett got to second by Choate's fumbling Dwight's grounder, letting both men get their bases. On a passed ball both men got base on pass- ed ball. With only one man out and a for run getting looked very bright. But Sheffield knocked foul fly to Otto and Garter was felded out at first.
 In the sixth inning, with two men out, Princeton pounded out run. Brooks made hit and stole second. Trenchard was hit and got first. On a passed bail both men were advanced base. Payne made a hit towards second and Brooks came in. Trenchard was close to his heels, but Hewlett got the ball to the plate in time to put him out.
 In the eighth Choate made hit and made bluff at stealing second Cole threw the ball to Carter and Choate start ed for second and Carter threw the ball to Hewlett. Hewlett tried to run up on him, but Choate slipped and eluded him, start ing back to second. Hewlett threw the ball to Dwight, who covered the bag, and Choate went out. Three assists and a put out were necessary to get Choate off the diamond.
 Princeton spurted in the ninth to tie the score, and it looked once or twice az though they would do it. Trenchard knocked 8 hard one to Hewitt, but he was equal to it. Payne got his bsse on balls, Blair forced him off and then stole second and third. Davis got his base on balls and Otto hit to Dwight, who stepped on second and put Davis out, and the happiness of the Yale freshmen was unbounded.
 Following is the score:
