UNIVERSITY TEAM SHUT OUT

Princeton's Batting and Fielding Gave Them 5 to 0 Victory.

The University baseball team was defeated by Princeton at Princeton on Saturday by a 5 to 0 score. Both teams fielded almost perfectly. It was due largely to the batting of Captain White and Sterrett of Princeton that the Tigers won the game. These men between them got six of Princeton's seven hits and scored four of the runs. White was the star of the contest, getting four hits out of as many times at bat.

The University team could not locate Woodle's delivery and the best they could do was to get a man on first and second in the fourth inning. Aside from this, not a man reached second base. The Harvard batsmen hit into the air almost entirely, and 15 of them went out on fly balls. The Princeton fielders were lucky in pulling down several sky-scrapers which ordinarily would have gone for hits. Princeton started the scoring in the opening session. De Vito drew a pass and reached third when McLaughlin threw wild to first. White singled, scoring De Vito, and Sterrett got a three-bagger to right field on which White tallied. The squeeze play, successfully worked, enabled White to score. In the third inning White singled, went to third on Sterrett's second hit, and scored on Prescott's sacrifice. Princeton's last tally was the result of White's triple and Sterrett's out.
