...greater part of the game for the seniors, holding the freshmen down to five hits, and striking out six men, and making five fielding assists and three put-outs, without an error. Brown played a good game at third, his only error being an excusable fumble of a grounder, and one of his assists being of the star order. Wood played an errorless game at second. Rankin did excellent work at first his, muff of Curtis' difficult throw being his only misplay...
...lucky three-bagger to right-field, but he himself was caught between third and home by Curtis, Hollis and Brown, in trying to score on a careless return of the ball by Hollis. In the seventh Whiting added another to their score on Spalding's fumble of grounder, and Cummin's inexcusable fumble of Walker's clean hit to centre-field. Walker took second on the throw in, and third on Reed's sacrifice. Whittemore hit the first ball for what seemed to be a two-bagger to centre-field, but Lake spoiled '95's chances by the prettiest catch...
...batsman out at first. Whittemore's play at third base was very good. His only error was a muff of a difficult foul, and two of his assists were of the phenomenal kind. Cassatt accepted five out of six chances, and his error was an excusable fumble of a grounder for which he had to run nearly to first base. He was a little slow in putting the ball on to the runner, however, and muffed one throw. Rogers at first had seventeen chanes, some of which were pretty difficult, and, curiously enough his only error was made...
...running, but the score of 13 to 2 was needlessly large, and had the freshmen put up even their average game they could have made the contest much closer. In the second inning for example, after two men had struck out, Whittemore made a bad throw of an easy grounder and allowed the batter to reach first base. Then McAdams aided Yale by one of his three pass balls and shortly afterward made a wild throw. Dreyfus in the left field had by this time caught the spirit of demoralization and fumbled a fly to his part of the field...
...seventh, Princeton again took the cue and went out in the same way. Then came the inning which settled the game for Princeton. Mason stood up, lined out a two bagger to left field, and then stole second. Hallowell sacrificed on a grounder to Young. Frothingham brought in Mason, on a single and stole second. Hovey brought him in on a beautiful two bagger to left field. Dickinson got out on a grounder to Brooks. Then Young became frightened, and Corbett helped him out with a home run, bringing in Hovey. This completely upset the Princeton nine, and Brooks gave...
