...have gone to three games When the University lines up against Princeton tomorrow afternoon at Fenway Park it will be in much the same situation as was the 1919 team. With the odds in favor of the Tiger nine again, Spalding will try to duplicate the feat of W. B. Felton '19, who startled the baseball world by allowing the Princeton team only two hits...
...original of which was 600 miles away, was ready for development in Manhattan. This was the first public demonstration by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. (see Page 21) of the most successful method of electrically transmitting photographs yet developed. It is by no means the first time the feat has been done, however.

The New York World owns the American rights of the Belin system, which it has improved in private...

...Hicks '10 pitched a no-hit game against Princeton, a feat never accomplished before or since. Spalding came close, even closer than the box score indicates, to equalling Hicks's performance. In the fifth inning with two out shortstop Richards, guaging a Spalding twist badly, caught it on the handle of his bat and dropped it over Campbell's head into short right field for a single. In the sixth Foster led off with a high fly that either Jenkins, Todd or Gordon could have cut, and while the three were doing the Alphonse-Gaston act, the ball dropped safely...
