...difficult to compare the work of the two nines since the first game as they have not played the same teams. The records seem to show that Princeton is the stronger. Princeton was beaten seven to three by Lafayette, and defeated the strong Cornell and Brown teams by the scores of 11 to 6, and 4 to 1, respectively. Before Princeton played Harvard, the latter was defeated by Lafayette 8 to 1, and by Cornell 8 to 5; since then by U. of P. by the score of 3 to 2. The only victories in fact have been over rather...

Cutting made a neat catch in the second inning of Kendall's fly, and in the eighth assisted Sargeant in the second double play of the game. For the Freshmen, Fincke and Putnam both played a strong fielding game...
