...Princeton, N. J., May 24, 1909.--The University baseball team won its second game from Princeton this afternoon by the score of 4 to 1. Clean hard hitting at the right time, fast fielding, and Hicks's remarkable speed were the chief factors in Harvard's victory...
Hicks was a little wild at first and gave five bases on balls, but he soon steadied and Princeton failed to make a single hit off his delivery.
