Harvard defeated Princeton Saturday at Princeton in the presence of a thousand or more spectators. The day was perfect for base-ball, hot and no wind
Harvard played with snap during the first four innings. But as these four innings took two hours and twenty minutes, at the end the "snap" bad been worked out.
The treatment received by our nine was not such as should be given a college team. The crowd cheered every error and "guyed" the Harvard players.
As soon as the Princeton team saw that the game was lost they resorted to personal remarks in coaching and to all the mean tactics known to base-ball and foot-ball. All this seemed the more absurd when the "rattling" process was started the score was 16 to 5.
Harvard hit the ball hard in the first part of the game. Mercur retired from the box in the fifth, ten hits with a total of fourteen, having been made, which with 20 errors gave Harvard 16 runs, only 4 of which were earned.
Willard's batting was magnificent, and timely sending in seven runs in all; Campbell also batted very hard.
Bingham caught a hard fly which looked like a sure home run. His backing up was weak however Campbell caught finely.
Harvard went to the bat first. Wiestling led off with a base hit. A steal, put out and Campbell's hit sent him home. Willard sent Campbell home on a hard single to centre. Willard in attempting to take second on Boyden's slow grounder. Bingham retired the side by flying out to centre.

For Princeton, Mercur and Wagenhurst made hits. On errors of Wiestling and Mumford both scored, Larkin reaching first. Brownlee's hit sent him to second. Boyden caught Brownlee napping at first.
