PRINCETON WON AGAIN,
By a Remakably Batting Rally in
Last of Ninth.
A batting streak in the ninth inning
won for Princeton the second and con-
cluding game from Yale, in the baseball
series of Nineteen Hundred. The con-
test on Brokaw Field on the afternoon
of June 9 was quite the hottest, clean-
est and fiercest baseball that intercol-
legiate athletics can furnish. The ex-
citement was hardly less trying than in
the football match betweeen the same
rivals on Yale Field, Nov. 25, 1899. The
bitterness of the disappointment to the
loser is well to be compared, also, with
that heart-rendering loss. There can be
no stronger way of putting it.
And like that same great fight the
record of the contest of last Saturday is
full of things for both sides to be proud
of. No better athletic spirit can be
shown than that which inspired the
Princeton hitters to drive out five runs
against a pitcher and a nine, who, for
eight innings, by coolness, head-work,
and errorless and swift fielding had held
the nine heavy batters of Princeton
down to three hits, had allowed only
twenty-six men to come to the bat
and had prevented any runner from get-
ting to second base. As for Yale,
it is only necessary to refer to the score
card. The Nine from New Haven had
returned, in a week, to high Yale form
in baseball. The man who is rated the
most formidable college pitcher of the
season was hit twelve times with a total
of nineteen bases. The hard and often
long driving of the Princeton players was
handled without an error for eight in-
nings, and with but two in the whole
game—one being a fumble, at short, of
a hot hit by Hillebrand, and the other
a poor throw from first to home after
a too-long holding of the ball.
THE DIN.
The field was surrounded by the larg-
est crowd that had ever attended a
Princeton class day game. At the be-
ginning of the eighth inning the Prince-
ton army decided that the game must
be won. The lines closed up and a large
part of the outfield crowd moved to the
side of the field near third base. With
them was a very numerous fife and drum
corps, which from that time on, massed
on the field, inside the fence and near
third base, did continuous service. The
great Princeton crowd on the open stands
took up the Princeton cheers with tre-
mendous effect. No football din was
ever greater. In the eighth inning the
effect was not noticeable on either nine,
but in the ninth, the intensity of the ex-
citement and the tremendous volume of
sound made it seem impossible for the
Yale players in the field to hold their
form. They. did show, then, the only
sign of tneasiness of the whole game.
This uneasiness, was, of course, intensi-
fied by the batting streak which came
with the cheering. Robertson, of Yale,
was. not rattled, but apparently the
strain had taken just a fraction of
velocity from his speed and the sharp-
ness from his curves. And so the heavy
Princeton hitters struck their pace and
it seemed impossible to stop them. Gar-
van took Robertson’s place, but one more
hit was made off his delivery, and that
was enough. As run after run came in
the crowd forgot themselves and surged
on the field. Twice there was a long
delay while Captain Hillebrand and the
other Princeton players were ivi
them back. , aes
Yale had nearly a hundred men to-
gether, most of them undergraduates,
including the tireless University Band.
They made their cheering, singing and
playing nearly continous and only re-
doubled their efforts when the full
Princeton lung and drum _ batteries
opened up. The Yale crowd left Prince-
ton immediately after the game, on a
special train, very sad, but proud of
their Nine, and confident that it is able
. to add yet, to the credit of excellent
play, the sweetness of victory.
YALE’S RUNS.
Quinby made Yale’s first run by driv-
ing the third ball pitched to deep left
field and running the circuit like a deer.
The Princeton third baseman tried to
stop him in a very strange way, but he
could not. In the fifth, Quinby, having
two strikes and three balls, sent a high
fly over right field for three bases.
Camp was hit by a pitched ball and stole
second. Then Cook, who had hit safely
twice before, made the second out.
Sharpe was next and sent a long high
fly over right field for three bases, scor-
ing Quinby and Camp. In the ninth
Robertson singled, Quinby flied out and
Camp forced Robertson out at second,
going to third on Cook’s single, and
home on the error of Hutchinson. Yale
had seven men left on bases. In the first
inning Blount struck out with two out
and the bases full. Later in the game
Guernsey let another good chance to
score escape by his failure to hit with
runners on first and third.
PRINCETON’S RUNS.
At the beginning of the ninth, Hutch-
ings of Princeton, batting for Watkins,
sent a short fly over third base. Camp,
Guernsey and Blount all tried for it,
but no one could touch it, and Hutch-
ings made two bases. Steinweinder was
hit by a pitched ball, and a single by
Kafer, prettily placed between first and
second, scored Hutchings and sent Stein-
weinder to third. A single, immedi-
ately afterwards, by Meier, sent Stein-
wender home, and also Kafer, who had
reached third while Sullivan was field-
ing home from Kafer’s single. Then
Hillebrand reached first on Camp’s fum-
ble and Meier went to third. Burke
hit to short first base, but Sharpe
without trying to put out the runner,
held he ball too long, and then threw
too high to Hirsh,
to score the tieing run. Pearson
struck out, but Chapman singled, scor-
ing Hillebrand and winning the game.
An individual criticism of the Yale
Nine would only be a miscellaneous dis-
tribution of praise, as, with scarcely
an exception, the men came up to the re-
quirements. Cook and Quinby, how-
ever, especially distinguished themselves,
the former making three singles and ac-
cepting three difficult chances in the
field. Quinby played a brilliant and er-
rorless game at second besides driving
out a home run and a three-base hit.
Hirsch, behind the bat, justified his selec-
tion over the more prominent candidates
for the position, Sullivan and Cunha.
Meier of Princeton played brilliantly
at short and his timely hit did much to
win the game.

The New Fence on the Campus.
In conformity to the wish expressed
by Mr. William P. Eno, Yale ’82, in
making the gift of a sum of money for
the improvement of the Campus, a fence,
on exactly the pattern of the historic
fence which formerly surrounded the
Campus, is soon to be placed inside of
the driveway at the northern end of
WILLIAM MANN FINCKE, IQOI S.
fElected Captain of Yale Track .Team.]
the present quadrangle. In front of Dur_
fee it will occupy nearly the position of
the present fence, but with certain
changes which will admit of straighten-
ing the walks and improving the grades.
Near the west end of Durfee it will
turn toward the south, and will end for
the present at the north corner of the
Treasury Building. The fence will be
cut in several places by the Campus
paths.

HITCHCOCK GOLE CHAMPION.
in a Well-played
Game 5 up and 4 to Play.
The tournament for the championship
of the University in golf began May
29, and ended June 11, Charles Hitch-
cock, Jr., 1903, winning the honor by
defeating Thomas L. Cheney, 1901, last
year’s champion, in the finals Monday
Forty-five men entered the
qualifying round at 18 holes, match play
the first day. The scores of the first
eight were as follows: T. M. Robertson,
Toor, 83; C Hiteheodk* Jr 1003, 85;
BE. LL. Yves, 1000 >, Sac23. 1. Dwight,
1900 S., 86; T. L. Cheney 1901, 87; W.
R. Hitt, 1901, 88; C. E. Greenough,
1902 S., 88. The following eight also
qualified for the match play for the
championship: W. R. Walbridge, 1902
S.; Prof. W. L. Phelps; G. W. Sim-
mons, 1900; O. Potter, 1901; G. H.
Hull, 1902; A. D. Dodge, 1903; F. Ss
Havemeyer, 1900; L. P. Myers, 1901 S.
The second sixteen men qualified for
match play for the consolation prize.
The first round of match play brought
out some fine golf, the feature being the
defeat of Captain T. M. Robertson, of
the University Golf Team, by Walbridge.
The scores of the round follow:
Walbridge defeated Robertson, 2 up
and 1 to play; Hitchcock defeated Green-
ough, 6 up and 5 to play; Ives defeated
Prof. Phelps, 4 up and 3 to play; Byers
defeated Simmons, 1 up, twenty holes;
Potter defeated Hill, 1 up; T. Cheney
defeated Havemeyer, 5 up and 4 to play;
Myers defeated Hitt, 5 up and 4 to play;
Dwight defeated Dodge 2 up.
The results of the second round were
as follows: Hitchcock defeated Wal-
bridge, 1 up; Byers defeated Ives, 6 up
and s to play; Dwight defeated Potter,
2 up and 1 to play; T. Cheney defeated
Myers, I wp.
In the semi-final round, Hitchcock de-
feated Byers, 3 up and 2 to play, and T
L. Cheney defeated Dwight, 4 up and 2
to play.
In the finals on Monday afternoon
Cheney did not play in his usual form
and sticcumed to the steady, and at times
brilliant, play of Hitchcock. The latter
was one up at the conclusion of the first
nine holes, and from this point increased
his lead rapidly, finally winning by 5
up and 4 to play.
The finals for the consolation prize
resulted in a victory for Philip Cheney,
1901, who defeated C. L. Tiffany, 1900,
6 up and 5 to play.
Golf Record of the Season.
The College year which is just clos-
ing was the most successful one in the
history of the Yale Golf Club. To-
gether, éx matches were played, the
Club being victorious in all of them
generally by wide margins. The first
team match was played Saturday, April
21, at Hartford, against the Hartford
Country Club Team, which was defeated
by the close score of 6 to 4. On the
following Saturday, April 28, the Yale
ten was victorious by the score of 32
to § over the Brooklawn Club of Bridge-
port, Conn. This bad defeat was due .
largely to the fine playing of T. L.
Cheney, 1901, who established new
figures for the course. On May 5 the
Orford Club of South Manchester was
defeated by 13 holes to 8. On Saturday,
May 12, the Lawrence Harbor Club gave
a thirty-six holes, medal play, tourna-
ment, open to college teams.
Here again Yale’s four, Robertson, T.
Cheney, Byers and Hitchcock, carried
off the honors by the total score of 745
strokes... On Wednesday, May 16, the
