Chandler started the game in left field, but was hit on the head by a high fly early in the first inning which knocked him insensible. Clarkson took his place. Pote, who was tried at shortstop, made one error out of three chances and did not do so well at the bat as in Monday's game...
...Fuller struck out. In the third inning the Juniors made three runs on a base on balls, hits by Warren and Nichols, and Ninety-six's errors.

Scannell gave Ward another chance and this time the Princeton shortstop threw the ball over into the bleachers and Scannell scored the first run.
