LOS? 10 PRINCETON,
The Nine Beaten on Saturday—Yale’s
Fine Fielding.
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.
The score:
YALE.

Yale, 14; Amherst, 7.
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.
