Link allowed but one hit, a single by Bush in the fifth. Garfield also pitched good ball, allowing only four safeties. The lone tally came in the ninth, when Shea walked, advanced to second on Scully's single, stole third, and came home on a beautiful squeeze play, with Law at the bat. The score by innings: Innings, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 r. h. e. Yale, 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 Princeton...
...Pennsylvania aggregation has been up against some unusually strong nines during the past couple of weeks and has played exceptionally good ball. On Saturday, May 28, it downed the strong Cornell team at Ithaca. The contest was the second of the series, Cornell having won the first, and was in doubt until the fifteenth inning when Barry, the hard hitting shortstop of the Philadelphia team, lined out a beautiful homer after two men were down, winning the game, 5 to 3. On Decoration Day the extra-inning victors were given a set-back by the Tigers in another after-time...

The next victim fanned the air. A third went to the plate with a stately tread. It was a sky-rocket, not long but high. That little black sphere in the center of the big shining orb was coming down to mother earth, but it never struck because Orrin Day (second baseman) was in the way. The impact knocked...
Princeton's only tally came in the next inning after Mahan had walked Law and Thompson. With two down Tibbott singled to center and Coolidge was unable to get the ball back in time to catch Law at the plate. Another rally in the eighth, however, almost succeeded in evening up the count. Lee led off with a pretty triple to left field which rolled way past Knowles. Tibbott was out on a ground ball to short. Then Hoyt smashed what looked to be a clean hi through the pitcher's box, but by a brilliant stop Mahan managed...
