Yale, 7; Princeton, 3.

Yale played Princeton at Princeton Saturday and defeated her by a score of 7 runs to 3. The game was postponed till 4 o'clock on account of the rain, but was finally played because Mrs. Cleveland and a large number of guests from New York wished to see it. An agreement was made that it should be only an exhibition game, and that the championship game should be played on the New York Polo Grounds. The fielding of both nines was good, considering the bad condition of the field. The Princeton men were unable to hit Stagg, twenty of them striking out in the nine innings. The Yale men batted Mercer pretty hard, but six of them striking out. The following is the score by innings:
