Saturday's victory was chiefly due to the air-tight pitching of Mahan, coupled with the errorless support and opportune hitting of his team-mates. The University twirler was decidedly stingy with his hits, allowing but six well-scattered ones and whiffing nine of the opposing batsmen. In addition he headed off a dangerous rally of the opposing team by a spectacular barehanded stop of Hoyt's sizzling grounder just in time to stop Lee at the plate. Hoyt's contribution, as it was with only one man down, would undoubtedly have gone for a clean bingle had not Mahan...
...getting beyond the initial sack. In the University's half of the fourth the scoring began. Nash was out on a grounder down the first base line. Abbot drew a walk and Harte, the next man up, sent him around to third on a clean bingle past second. Mahan flied out to Tibbott. Then Beal came through with a slashing grounder between first and second, which allowed Abbot to go home at a walk and Harte to reach third base. Tibbott's throw to third to catch the latter was low and Shea lost it, allowing Harte to score easily...
Princeton's only tally came in the next inning after Mahan had walked Law and Thompson. With two down Tibbott singled to center and Coolidge was unable to get the ball back in time to catch Law at the plate. Another rally in the eighth, however, almost succeeded in evening up the count. Lee led off with a pretty triple to left field which rolled way past Knowles. Tibbott was out on a ground ball to short. Then Hoyt smashed what looked to be a clean hi through the pitcher's box, but by a brilliant stop Mahan managed...
...Coolidge scored the third tally. With one down and Nash on second, Harte lifted one to deep right which turned into a home-run when Tibbott failed to judge it properly. Beal and Knowles were both disposed of and the scoring stopped. Princeton was still unable to solve Mahan's delivery in the opening of the ninth and the game closed with the University the victor for the second time...
