This afternoon the 'Varsity nine starts for Princeton, where the second game will be played to-morrow. The contest will be a very close one and may not result as favorably as the first and the nine needs all the encouragement it is possible to give. It is disheartening for a team to play on a foreign field without a reasonable number of backers, and it is impossible to play an up-hill game under these circumstances.

The result of the paper movement and the pencil movement is a curve which faithfully reproduces the length, strength and peculiarities in each stroke...

In the eighth inning he was struck by a foul tip and had had to stop playing for a few minutes. After that Boyden evidently let up, and the result was that Yale batted the ball all over the field...
