Princeton turned the tables on Yale, Saturday, June 10, by defeating her Nine at Princeton, in an exciting game by the score of 6 to 2. It was the be- ginning of the Princeton Commence- ment week, and an estimated crowd of nearly 8,000 was in attendance. The returning classes had provided them- selves with numerous bands, which kept up a constant volleying of tunes during the entire game. The condition of the pitchers was a reversal of the order of things on the previous Saturday, Hille- brand being in superb form while Robertson was not nearly so. effective. The latter did well up till the seventh inning, when, by unluckily hitting Kafer and Harrison in succession he forced in a run. The two runs in the eighth in- ning were also due to hhis error. Yale gave him practically perfect support in the field, but at the bat the men were weak, making but five scat- tered “hits. to this latter. fact. more than anything else can be attributed the loss of the game. Several times a hit would have meant a run, but it was not forthcoming. In the eighth this was well illustrated, Wear leading off with a two-base hit and being left. Sullivan made two of the five hits, one of them a triple. His throwing was also of the best and was a complete surprise to the Princeton’ runners. deSaulles by a magnificent stop ren- dered his two errors costless, while Camp and Quinby played faultlessly. Waddell saved a couple of errors by pretty catches of wild throws. Wear had all the chances in:the outfield and by a pretty throw figured in a double play’ in the second. As a whole then the team kept up its standard in fielding. Princeton played a better game than at New Haven, a change in the infield strengthening it materially. Outside of the batting Hutchinson and Suter were easily the best. Netther side scored until the seventh. - *Then Sullivan drove out a _ beautiful three-base hit over Hutchinson’s head. Waddell reached first on Greene’s error and Eddy was hit—filling the bases. deSaulles hit sharply to Hutch- inson, who threw well, but Greene dropped the ball and Sullivan and Wad- dell scored. For Princeton Hutchin- son, Watkins, and Suter singled, Hutchinson scoring. Then Kafer and Harrison were ‘hit, scoring Watkins, Hillebrand won his game with a pretty single to left, driving in Suter and Kafer. 3 After two were out in the eighth, Robertson by his wild toss to Waddell allowed Suter to reach first, from whence he scored with Hutchinson on Kafer’s triple to left center.

On Wednesday, June 6, the Univer- sity Nine easily defeated Amherst by a score of 14 to 7. Gibson started pitch- ing for Yale, but was somewhat wild, and Garvan was substituted in the fifth inning. The fielding of the Yale team was much below the standard of the Princeton game. Interest was some- what enlivened in the fifth inning by Cropo’s catch of an extremely difficult liner, and a triple steal by Quinby, Wear and Brown, Quinby scoring from third while the ball was in the catcher’s hands. The game was called on account of darkness at the end of the seventh in- ning. The score: YALE. AB. R. IB. PO.
