...REMARKABLE amateur game of base-ball was played at New Haven, Saturday, May 29, between the Princeton and Yale Nines. We give the score...

In the fifth innings the Harvards became completely demoralized, and allowed their opponents to score three unearned runs, offsetting it by but one for themselves. This...
