THE Nine left by the Fall River boat on Thursday evening for Princeton, and reached Princeton Junction on Friday at 10 A. M., where they were most cordially received by the Princeton Nine and a large delegation from the college. The day was exceedingly unpropitious for base-ball, a high wind prevailing which blew directly in the face of the batsmen. Owing to afternoon recitations at Princeton, game was called at 12 o'clock, with Harvard at the bat. The game opened well for an exciting contest, as neither side scored in the first inning, notwithstanding Furman's base-hit. In the second inning, after two men were out, a fumble of Hunt's, errors by Funkhouser and Furman, and base-hits by Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left on second, the succeeding batsmen striking out. Wright made a base-hit, and scored on damaging errors by Hunt; Alger also scored on an error by Hunt, Latham's base-hit, and a wild pitch. Errors by Tyng and Ernst allowed Hamill to make third in the fourth inning. Neither side reached a base after this until the seventh inning, when base-hits by Thayer, Ernst, and Wright, aided by errors of Hunt and Cutts, gave two runs. Wigton reached second on a failure of Tyng to put him out on three strikes. Dodge struck to Nunn, who made an excellent feint at throwing to first and then threw to Latham, who put Wigton out at second; this play was very fine, and deserved the loud applause which it received. Harvard made one more run in the eighth inning on base-hits by Nunn, Fessenden, and Ernst, and errors by Furman and Cutts. The Princeton Nine were unable to bat Ernst in this game, but five men reaching first base. Our men batted Furman more heavily than they would have done had he been sure of his catcher, who was suffering from sore hands. Ernst led at the bat, Wright, Latham, and Nunn also doing well. Nunn and Wright played best in the field for Harvard, while Hamill and Dodge excelled for Princeton. Immediately after the game an excellent dinner was given to the Nine by their attentive hosts. In the evening the Princeton Glee Club and College Orchestra favored the visitors with some excellent vocal and instrumental music, after which a bountiful collation was served, to which the Harvard men did full justice.
