handler was hit safely only seven times
and the worst that should have fallen to
his lot was to l beating. Bartolf
struck oct four Princeton batters. while

didly and with good speed and control had
the Harvard hitters guessing most Of the
time
A crowd of FIVE thousand persons saw
the game on Soldiers Field witnessing a
match that was devoid Of exciting features.
The Tigers were big, rangy fellows, beside
whom the Harvard men looked light ana

was superb, while Harvard errors PROVIDED

Parker's sacrifice and after Potter had
thrown Pendleton out White poled long

Worthngton and hit Rhoads, but Wingate
nipped Worthngton at the plate after taxi
ing Lear's bounder. and then Potter made

when Babson got in front Of one Of Lear's
curves in the seventh.
The score stood / TO ! until Princetons
fourth, when Harvard went 10 pieces in the
field Rhosds was safe when Reynolds
dropped his hy, and then Shaw reached

outside Lear famed and Laird flied 20
Coon. but the bases were filled when Glib
son lost a bounder from Parker. Then
Bartolf hit Pendleton. which forced in

White then provided Harvard with an.
other easy chance. but Wingate lost his hlt
altogether and two more runs were scored.
