The first Yale-Princeton baseball game, held in New Haven Saturday, was won by Yale after a very close and exciting contrast. Yale took a big lead in the first inning, earning four runs off Wilson while there were still no men out. Jayne then replaced Wilson, and for the rest of the game Yale was held down to nine hits.
Yale's batting was strong and the hits all very timely. Three home runs, each made with a man on bases, and Wilson's weak work in the first were chiefly responsible for the result. Princeton got fourteen hits off Greenway, but, with the exception of those in the fifth when three runs were scored, they were widely scattered.
Camp's home run for Yale in the second half of the ninth, was made with Fincke on first and two men out. The two runs tied the score and in the next inning Letton brought in Hazen by a hit that would have been a home run had not Hazen's run ended the game.
