...nine played its first Princeton championship game at Princeton on Friday. Our nine played a steady fielding game, and lost the game by Princeton's batting in the last inning. Princeton made two runs in the first inning, on Wilson's hit and Nichols' errors, but were unable to score again until the third inning, when one run was made on Wadleigh's three bagger. After this Princeton was retired in one, two, three order until the ninth inning, when base hits by John and James Harlan and Wilson, assisted by a passed ball, gave them three runs. Harvard...

Merrill who was on second. Ayer was brought in on a base hit by Richardson. The next poor decision was in the seventh inning. With F. S.
