BY administering a crushing defeat to Yale's
ball nino at Manhattan Field yesterday after
noon Princcton's Tigers won the college cham
pionship. as they had previously captured their
series from Harvard. Tho Yale team helded
raggcdly and couldn't do much with tho
puzzling curves of Lady" Jayne. Fearey,
who essaycd to pitch for the Blue, ro-
tired in tho fifth inning after q remarkable
record. In that time he gave nine bases on balls,
hit two batsmon, had n wild pitch, and was
touched up for thirteen safe drives. Hookor,
who succeeded him, did well. The Jersoymenp put
up a strong, confident game. and did not lose a
chance to run up their big total Of runs. 1t was
tho worst defeat Yale has ever sustained on the
ball field, and the big crowd of Now Haven
followers wero almost broken-hcarted.
Probably 5000 persons saw the gamo from
seats inside OF the fence and nearly 5000 moro
stood on tho steel viaduct. The pretty girls
were out In largo numbers, and they wero all
deckod out In the blue OF Yale and In the orange
and black of Old Nassau. TIL Princeton men,
by tho way, never choerod better. and their
singing was admired by even their New Haven
riva's. The only fault to DO found with the
game was that it was long drawn out and to-
ward tho end rather tircsome.
The Tigers went to the bat and Bradley hit the
first ball on a line to Wallace. When the latter
gobblod 1t there wns n great cheer from the Yale
contingent. But tho next moment the Princeton
shouters began to got in thoir work, as Easton
was hit by q pitched ball and ran to sec
ond on a terribly wild pitch. Kafor,
the star Princeton catcher, then struck
out. which set tho Yale men wild with
delight, but they groaned in despair tho next
instant, when Kelley, the football hero. hit to
Finckc, who, after making n nice stop, throw
the ball high over tho first baseman's head into
the clubhouse. On this error Easton scored
Princcton's first run, and Kelley did not stop
running until he had slid into third base.
The Princeton delegation promptly indulged
in cheering. and sang odd Nassau" until

Goodwin made n wild throw over Fincke's head
and Kelley romped in with the second run.
