...ever seen on the ball field. From start to finish the game was closely contested and abounded with brilliant plays, although the playing was very uncertain and errors were numerous among the Harvard men. The game in many respects was a repetition of the famous sixteeninning game which Princeton won here a few weeks ago, but it differed from the fact that yesterday Princeton held the lead from the start until Harvard tied the score in the sixth inning. Harvard played a magnificent uphill game after Princeton had scored two runs in the first inning, and for eight innings prevented...
...tenth inning Princeton won the game through a most remarkable piece of luck. Kelley the first batter hit a grounder to Haughton, and was out. Titus made a hit, but Altman knocked a high fly to Rand. Wilson then hit a swift bounding ball just to one side of Paine and above his head. Paine reached out his hand and partially stopped the ball, but unfortunately it grazed the arm of the umpire, who was standing near. Chandler, who picked up the ball, had plenty of time to put out Titus at second base, but under the rules any ball...
...captained this year. Stevens rowed 4 on '97 last year and stroked the same crew this year. Blake has rowed on the B. A. A. junior crew. Youngman, who is captain, rowed 2 on the '95 Senior crew, and in '95, with B. W. S. Thomson L. S., he won the junior double-scull championship of New England...
Harvard was whitewashed yesterday for the first time this year, and thus lost the last scheduled game with Brown, which it was very important to win. Each team has now won two games and no deciding game has been arranged. Strangely enough each team has lost both the games on the home grounds. In spite of the defeat there is some consolation in the fact that Harvard is the only team which has won two games from Brown this year...
Paine pitched well enough for Harvard to have won any ordinary game, but was not nearly so effective as he was in the last two games at Providence. During most of the game he had good control but in the fourth inning he gave three bases on balls and allowed one hit, which, with an error by Dean, gave Brown two runs. Scannell gave him splendid support and saved a number of wild pitches. Not a man on either side tried to steal second. Chandler played an excellent game and all three of the outfielders had plenty...
