Harvard defeated Princeton yesterday in the most uninteresting game seen on Holmes Field this year. The game was remarkable only for the number of errors made by Princeton. King was put in to pitch for Princeton, and he was hit safely only four times. His pitching was remarkably effective, and it would have won the game had he not been terribly wild. Seven Harvard men got to first on called balls. His backing was good, but bases on balls, aided by wild pitches, gave the game to Harvard. Bates was put in the box by Harvard, and he pitched a remarkable game for a man with so little experience. It was his first championship game, but he pitched like a veteran, striking out no less than sixteen men. With the exception of the first two innings, he was well supported, and this, combined with numerous errors by Princeton, won the game for Harvard. Although Harvard was outbatted, her errors were not costly, while Princeton's errors resulted in runs for her opponents. It was distinctly a game of pitchers, and had King received the support he deserved be would have won the game. W. Price's errors in particular, were very costly and resulted in several runs for the home team. About 2,000 spectaters witnessed the game. Mr. McLean umpired the game and his decisions on bases were very satisfactory. His decisions on balls and strikes, however, were far from correct, but he was impartial, favoring Harvard no more than he did Princeton.

Harvard was first at the bat. Campbell, Knowlton and Quackenboss struck out. For Princeton, Wagenhurst went out, Bates to Willard. Durell made a hit, went to second on a passed ball, to third on a muffed third strike, and came home on Knowlton's muff of Dana's fly. L. Price got to first on a muffed third strike, stole second and came home on Knowlton's error. King made a hit, but was left by Price's striking out.

The second inning was opened by Willard's base on balls, who took second on Henshaw's sacrifice and third on a passed ball, where he was left. Gallivan reached first on a base on balls and stole second. Howland reached first on a base on balls. With three men on bases, Boyden and Bates both struck out. Princeton opened the second half by Ames' and Mercur's strikes-out. Wagenhurst made a scratch hit, but was put out at second on an attempted steal.

In the third inning, Campbell led off with a clean hit to left, went to third on a passed ball and scored on a sacrifice by Quackenboss. Knowlton reached first on L. Price's wild throw, went to third on the same error, and scored on Henshaw's sacrifice, Williard in the meantime striking out. Gallivan got to first on an error of second, but was thrown out by Ames in an attempt to stead second. For Princeton, Durell drove a liner to centre which was nicely taken in by Howland. Price and Dana both struck out.

Howland opened the fourth by a pop fly to third. Boyden reached first base on balls, stole second and was left by Bates and Campbell flying out to centre and third respectively. King, for Princeton, fouled out. W. Price flied out to Gallivan and Ames struck out. Score: Harvard, 3; Princeton, 2.

From this time on, Harvard had the game in her own hands, playing a faultless game, while Princeton merely added to Harvard's score by her many errors.

Quackenboss opened the fifth by a grounder to pitcher. Knowiton went out, Wagenhurst to Dana, and Willard struck out for the second time. For Princeton, Watts and Mercer both struck out, while Wagenhurst went out on an easy grounder to Gallivan.

Henshaw, in the sixth, reached first on a bad fumble by L. Price, went to second on Gallivan's scratch hit between left and centre, to third on a passed ball, and scored on Boyden's sacrifice to second. Gallivan scored on a hit, a wild pitch and on error at home by Ames. Bates took first base on balls, took second while King was arguing with the umpire, third on a sacrifice and reached home on a wild pitch. Campbell reached first on an attempted put-out at home, stole second and came home on King's wild pitch. Durell opened the sixth for Princeton by a clean hit to centre, took second on a steal, and scored on a hit by W. Price, making the only earned run of the game. L. Price went to first on base on balls, stole second, went to third on W. Price's hit and was left by Dana and King striking out. Score: Harvard, 7; Princeton, 3.

Knowlton opened the seventh inning by a base on balls, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch by King and scored on Willard's hit to left. Willard was put out in an attempt to steal second and Henshaw fouled out to Ames. For Princeton, Watt's made a hit, stole second but was left there by the weak batting of the next three men.

In the eighth, Howland went out, W. Price to Dana; Boyden knocked an easy one to Wagenhurst, and Bates ffied out to Durell. L. Price and Dana opened the eighth by striking out. King, with two men out, made a hit, but was left at first by W. Price's easy fly to Willard.

Campbell opened the ninth for Harvard by a long, high fly to left, which was captured after a long run by Watts. This was by far the prettiest play of the day and was well applauded by the Harvard nine. Quackenboss followed by a grounder to second, which was fumbled. He reached second on a pretty steal, took third on Knowlton's sacrifice and scored on Willard's two-base hit to centre. Willard was left at centre by Henshaw's easy grounder to Wagenhurst. With two men out in the ninth, Mercur made a hit to right. but was left by Wagenhurst's high fly to Campbell. Final score: Harvard, 9; Princeton, 3.

The game was remarkable for the few hits made by Harvard, who seemed totally unable to fathom King's errors. Had he been less wild, the game would surely have gone to Princeton. Bates pitches a very fine game, being cool and collected throughout and striking the Princeton men out at critical points. For Princeton, Wagenhurst did the best field work, while Durell and King excelled at the bat. The score:-
