SECOND GAME ON MONDAY
[py Telegraph 70 The Tribune J


Princeton, y. J., June Torrents OF
rain cut of the Princeton-Yale baseball
game in the first half Of the sixth inning
here this afternoon. with the score at 0 to
o. and sent some twenty thousand specta-
tors flying for shelter.
The game. which was one OF the hercest
baseball fights in the history Of the two
institutions, and had held everybody to
the stands in spite OF threatening clouds,
quickly became a minor detail In the
fight to push under the one small covered
stand and save the gala attire OF moth
ers, sisters and sweethearts who were
present in hundreds.
The flight from the open stands was
too late to save many hundreds Of dollars
worth Of plumes and dresses. to say moth

The Yale team has consented to stay In
Priceton for a second game. TO be played
on Monday. Rain checks will not be good
and tickets will be sold Monday morning
on the plan of first come first served.
There was enough uncertainty as 10 the
outcome OF the game 10 make Princeton
throngs depart from a long established
custom and sing "Old Nassau" just be-
fore the Tiger team took TO the field. This
had always before been sung as a last
resort. but II started the game to-day
under extra tension,
Princeton hearts sank when Rhoads
made an error in the first play OF the
game on a perfectly good throw by
| Worthlngton, who had felded Middle
J brooks grounder. but ii was the only mis-
cue made by the Tigers In the whole con-
! test. and to make up for II they worked
/ in two opportune, snappy double plays.
I Alright fielding kept Yale from advanc-
| Ing more than one man beyond first base.
in spite Of the fact that she scored four
/ hits to the Tigers two.
Copeland pitched another duel with Gle
on the mound and was compelled 10 yield
/ the superiority TO the Yale twirler. but his
] support held him up. He struck out only
! two men 10 a record Of six strike-outs Tor
Gle. who was pitching in top form after
the beginning, when he was saved by a
double play after he had hit Pendleton.
There we're brilliant plays galore
Laird and Green both made jumping
catches OF long flies 10 right and left field,
but Reilly and Pendleton led in the grand
stand work In the third inning On
popped a short hunted fly scarcely halt
way 10 third base. and Reilly pulled II on
his shoestrings with a dive that sent him
rolling. but he held the ball. An almost
certain home run drive by Pumpelly gave
Pendleton mis- opportunity. and he MADE
good on a difficult catch between centre
| and right fields.
| A shake-up Of the Tiger batting order
/ failed 10 accomplish its purpose, for
| Princeton twice had the game In her
hands. but could not produce batter who
could HIT in a pinch and threw away every
opportunity. In the fourth frame Pendle-
| ton led of with a drive out into the
crowds in left field. which landed him on
! third base with none out but Worthington
| famed and Rhoades hit into double play
on an easy grounder 10 Gle.
In the next frame Carter was safe on
bad throw 10 first by Cornish. but was
caught a, second when Reed took first on
a felder's choice Laird sent drive 10
right field. advancing Reed to third. with
only one out. but Green struck out, ana

Yale had Gle on second base In the
sixth. with one down, when the storm
broke and made further playing impossi-
