PrincstDn- Won second Game.
While Yale took the first game, to 0,
although outbatted two to one by
Princeton. tho Jerseymen evened up
matters by taking the second in one Of
the most sensational battles on record
in college history.
In the econd game, which was dual
between Pitchers White and Merritt.
Yale took the lead in the tenth by scor~
ing run. Princeton was worked up as it
never was before. and in the final halt

White and Merritt again pitched to-
day. with Drewes in reserve on Prince
tons bench and Van vleck ready to
relieve Merritt. If necessary.
Yale Favorite In Betting,
When Yale left New Haven last night
the boys cheered them to the echo, and
they entered the game favorites in the
betting.
Big Ed Walsh. who once twirled for
aNewVrk and who is rated as one of the
best pitchers of the age, coached the
Yale twir1ers, and Billy Lush. another
big Lacquer. instructed the team on in
side pay.
Princeton depended on it's former
stars to get in trim, and vi show that
spirit which tits noted + and which
they nobiy displayed in the second
game of the series.
A victory for either team means
much. Yale opens it's series with Har-
ward on Thursday and If they happen
to capture 1t and win from Old Nassau
today 1t will give them practically a.
clear title to the championship. If they
lose, Princeton will have all the glory.
Captain Fred Murphy, Of Yale. who
got four singles against White in the
last game, is looked upon as danger
GUS man. He is nephew of Trainer
Mike Murphy, of the University Of
Pennsylvania and Of DR.. w. H. Muir
phy. once a shortstop Of the Giants.
Princeton has its Dillon and its Sides,
and both can hit some. too. The Tigers
have Meyers. the hero of the second
game, with them. and Corey is Yale's
