YALE DOWNED
BY PRINCETON
Second Time This Season.
intercollegiate Champions.

Before more than 10000 enthusi-
astic partisans ~Princeton's balltossers
defeated the Yale nine for the second
time this season at Washington Park,
Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon and
are generally regarded as having won
the intercollegiate baseball cham
pionship for the year, having beaten
Michigan, Cornell, Harvard, Pennsyl-
vania and Yale twice.
The Bulldog and the Bengal fought
each other with great o~bstinancy, but,
as usually is the case when it ONE
down to a pinch between these two
rivals in baseball, the Princetonians
had just that moiety of superiority
in steadinessan strength to turn
the outcome in their favor.
The score is an appropriate index
to the game as it was played. The
pitching was capital on both sides
and the hitting proportionately ethe-
real. Princeton made four hits; the
Ellis sprinkled their batting endeav-
lors with three. With hitting so
skinny, support was bound to be a
big factor. Two Yale errors counted
In P~rinceton's run, whereas Prince
ton committed but one misplay, so
that the shade in dependable fielding
on Princeton's part was one influence
in determining the winner from the
loser. Also, to show on what fine
shades of superiority the victory de-
pended, a base hit was one Of the
mediums in the Tigers success, and
the Tigers excelled Yale in hits by
just one
The great pitching was the pre-
dominant development of the battle,
though coupled with it was much re-
liable and at times sharp fielding.
Steve White, of Princeton, was max
ing his valedictory on the mound. 1t
was his last game in the Orange and
Black stripes. He bowed himself out
of the college with distinguished
honors. He never pitched a better
game. Once or twice he has blown
up" in the final game against Yale,
but on this, his exit as a fighter for
Old Nassau, he was as steady as a
church. His curves, speed and head
work kept Old Eli in restraint all the
time.
White came near>to pitching a no.
hit game. One Yale hit was an in
field scratch, another was nearly
caught by the abbreviated lad who
played right field for Princeton and
who made a gallant try for 1t. The
third was a clean, short poke over
second base by Badger.
Two men, Sterrett and Hughes,
monopolized the hitting for Prince.
ton, making two apiece. One of
Hughes's hits was 1ukey; the other
three were clean. Except in one in
ming, Hartwell's support was equal to
the demands made upon it and the
young Yale lad pitched a cool, clever
game. So far as disturbing his ser
vice Is concerned, he was fully as
much entitled to an opposing zero as
a reward as was White entitled to the
zero which was his compensation.
Both pitchers had excellent control,
and 1t is not often that a college
game is waged with such merit in the
box.
Barring the oyerabundance of
chattering by the fielding side, the
game was played with business-like
brfskness and for the most part was
delightfully."- free from the delays
which often characterize college
games. Student Pendleton consumed
something like five minutes getting
up to the bat in the first inning, but
after that the movements between
innings were infrequent.
