Princeton defeated Harvard on Saturday in the first game of the series between the two colleges. In spite of the one-sided score the game was hotly contested throughout, and the excitement lasted until the end. Harvard put up a much better game than had been expected, fielding well and making only one hit less than Princeton. None of their four errors were inexcusable and they had little effect upon the result of the game. Where the team was weak was in their inability to bunch their hits when they would have counted for runs. It was here that Princeton...

In all, thirteen errors were made. Harvard...
...throwing to bases was poor, and his passed balls and missed third strikes were numerous. With the exception of McVey the infield was weak and in the outfield Chandler made two bad errors. Edmunds distinguished himself by a fine running catch of a long fly by Scott. The sophomores put up a much poorer game than on Friday and could neither bat nor field. Anderson had an off day and made some glaring errors. Perry pitched a fairly good game but was rather wild. Scott supported him well behind the bat but marred his record by muffing a high...
