...story of the game really reduces itself to an account of the 5th and 9th. In Princeton's half of the 5th one man got out quickly. Then Bradley knocked an easy grounder to Stevenson, who threw too high for Haughton to reach, Bradley going to second. Paine threw past Dean and Bradley got to third.

Titus made a hit, but Altman knocked a high fly to Rand. Wilson then hit a swift bounding ball just to one side of Paine and above his head. Paine reached out his hand and partially stopped the ball, but unfortunately it grazed the arm of the umpire, who was standing near.
