...York Giants by only one run. With the exception of the first inning when the Princeton players were handicapped with nervousness, they played a remarkable game in every respect. As a result of a spectacular rally in the fifth the Tiger batters gained the lead, while some airtight fielding kept the World Champions from regaining it until the ninth...
