beat the Princeton Tigers for the sec
ond time this season on Soldiers's fleid
this afternoon. Ned Mahan shutting
out tho Jersoymen by score Of 3 70
q and allowing only four scattered
hits.
Tho Crimson players, While they
made only Fix hits or Deyo, we're as
sisted by errors in the scoring o. two
Of their runs 4 home run drive to
left field in the third inning By Abb
bott. however, was sufficient to earn a
victory
Nahan started off at none too good n
clip. but was helped out because the
Tigers insisted IN going after the bad
balls. Later. however. the Harvard
pitcher settled down. only ono Of his
four passes coming after the third inn
ing. He was particularly strong with
men on bases and worked under press
ure in four % the last five innings, IN
each Of which Princeton had man on
second base.
Nahan famed only six batters. but
three Of these strike-outs came with a
man on base. Deyo and Hanks both
went out this way in the fifth, with
kelloher on second base. and when the
Crimson had only a two-run lead.
Deyo was steady, but was not well
supported Abbott's home run was the
only long hit on which the Crimson
was entitled 70 do any scoring. Even
in the sixth, when Frye's single was
followed by Gannctt's right field dou-
bile. Harvard would not have Tailed
/ had il not been for long throw past
second base by Green. HaVard's first
run came when Gannett scored from
second base on ellis throw past Doug
las.
Nahan was well supported. Reed
playing a brilliant game at shortstop
and narrowly missing cutting the
Tigers hits from four 20 two. Gan
nett made fine catch in right field,
when Princeton threatened to rally in
the eighth. For the most part, though,
the fielding chances were easy. Deyo
having six assists 70 first base.
In the first inning two Tigers
reached first Hanks was passed and
was forced by Gill, who was thrown
out by Harte when he tried TO steal.
In the second Mahan passed both
briggs and Kellcher, but Law hit
sharply TO Reed, who made neat play
for n force-out a. second TO end the
inning.
The Crimson got its first run in its
half Of the second, Gannett opening
with right field hit, moving along on
Hartes gacrihce and scoring when Gill,
after stopping Hardwick's drive, threw
past Douglas.
The best effort Of Princeton came
In the third. Hanks was passed after
Brickley had taken Deyo's fly, and then
Gill drove a fine hit 10 right field. Gan
nett's throw 10 third being none too
fast. Scully then hit to Mahan, who
got Hanks at the plate. When Gill
and Sculy tried to put across the
tioinC run on a double steal Abbott took
Harte's high throw and made an abso-
lutcly perfect return for the out. the
play being one OF the prettiest of the
game.
There was one out in the third when
Abbott made his long hit for the cir
cult. In the fifth Brickley opened with
q neat hit over Scully's head, only 70 be
left after he had been pushed around
to third.
In the sixth Harvard got It's last
run. Frye hitting to left field for a
starter and going to third when Gan
nett drove hot one through Douglass
glove. Green then threw low 20 Law,
the ball shooting 10 left field and Frye
roming home.
In the eighth, after Deyo had famed,
Hanks was safe on Hardwick's wild
throw to first and went to second on
Reeds play to first on Gill It was
after this that Gannett made his fine
catch Of Scully's drive to RICH. field
Green opened the Tigers ninth with
a savage hit between Reed and Hard
wick, but did not get beyond first, as
briggs and Douglas sent flies to Gan
nett and Brickley, and Mahan closed
the game by striking out Kelleher.
