LAST Friday's game with Princeton was almost as surprising in its results as was a certain other game which it is unnecessary to mention.

We took our seat on the well-filled benches expecting and hoping for a close and interesting game; for, although desirous of our Nine's success, we would gladly have seen Princeton make it close and exciting work for them, as they did last year. But in this we were grievously disappointed. From the very first inning our men began their heavy batting, getting two two-basers at the start, - Princeton in the mean while piling up errors in rapid succession, - until our score reached old-time figures, while Princeton's, through her inability to hit Ernst, remained severely modern in its proportions. The game was rendered still more tedious and uninteresting by the tire-somely slow movements of Princeton's pitcher, who, without making it at all effective, busied himself with a purposeless churning of the ball until one grew nervously weary in waiting for his labored delivery.

Our Nine played a strong batting game, as the score will show, but their fielding was not free from bad errors. Princeton's poor play in the field can, in a measure, be accounted for by more than a week's lack of practice, caused by the many rainy days of the previous week. We much regretted the injury to her catcher which compelled his retirement from the game, - another example of the fact that misfortunes never come singly. We can only wish them better luck next time. A more extended commentary than the appended score will be unnecessary.

PRINCETON.
