Princeton's championship hopes went by the board on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon. Mahan was in the box for the University, and holding the visitors to four scattered hits, shut them out 3 to 0. Except for a bad throw of Hardwick's in the eighth, the support given him was perfect, Deyo, the Princeton twirler was likewise in good form, but at critical moments the defence behind him weakened. Two of the University's runs were gifts of Princeton errors...
Frye singled, Nash struck out, and Gannett doubled. This would only have filled the last two sacks, but Greene, in trying to catch Gannett, made a bad heave to second and allowed Frye to score. One more hit by Mahan in the seventh ended the University's aggression, while for Princeton only two more men reached second...

As rain seemed imminent, Captain Hardwick tried to have the game started early, but the Princeton leader objected, and the two teams waited until 3 o'clock, when Umpire Stafford called the contest off on account of the weather. The Harvard squad immediately returned to their headquarters in New York. In case it becomes impossible to play tomorrow...
