...first on called balls. His backing was good, but bases on balls, aided by wild pitches, gave the game to Harvard. Bates was put in the box by Harvard, and he pitched a remarkable game for a man with so little experience. It was his first championship game, but he pitched like a veteran, striking out no less than sixteen men. With the exception of the first two innings, he was well supported, and this, combined with numerous errors by Princeton, won the game for Harvard. Although Harvard was outbatted, her errors were not costly, while Princeton's errors resulted...
Yesterday afternoon Harvard played its first championship game for the season, and defeated Princeton by a score of nine to three. With this victory each college in the three-cornered league has one game to its credit, with this advantage for Harvard that, whereas both Yale and Princeton have each met one defeat, Harvard's record is, up to this time, clear.

Our nine has strong individual players who, in spite of the disadvantage they have suffered in being unable to meet efficient opponents, have begun to play well together. We look with confidence for good work both at the bat and in the field, for the nine has done faithful work ever since Christmas. The college expects the nine to be victorious today, and this feeling of confidence among the men is certainly a good omen for the result of the contest...
