Princeton's View of the Baseball Game.

The Princetonian published on Monday a special edition, the regular issues being suspended during the examinations, containing the account of the Harvard-Princeton game. The following extracts may be of interest to readers of the CRIMSON:

"Before the game there was trouble in regard to the umpires, which trouble has been so magnified by reports being sent out which were direct misrepresentations of facts, that it tends to reflect anything but credit on the two universities. The action of Capt. King in refusing to play if Mr. Murphy umpired was entirely justifiable in view of the following facts. Correspondence between Captains Kings and Frothingham resulted in each submitting a list of three umpires and each choosing one from the other's list, the two umpires thus chosen to serve in the two games. The men selected were Messrs. Murray and Hopkins. The work of the former was so unsatisfactory at the first game that Captain King naturally protested against the same gentleman serving in the second game. Captain Frothingham accepted the protest at the time. Upon being asked for suggestions as to a new umpire Captain Frothingham replied that he had no suggestions to offer. Capt. King contrary to reports, did not assent to having Mr. Murray retained. On Saturday, May 29th, Capt. King (not receiving any word about a second umpire), telegraphed to Harvard suggesting Mr. Mullen. No reply was received until Monday afternoon, after the team had left for Cambridge, and owing to the time that had elapsed since the sending of his telegram, Captain King reasonably supposed that his suggestion had been favorably received. Just before the game Messrs, Murray and Hopkins made preparations to act as umpires, apparently showing that Harvard had utterly disregarded Capt. King's suggestion. Capt. King thereupon refused to play until Mr. Murray had been removed. Capt. King in suggesting the substitution of Mr. Mullen for Mr. Murray, did so knowing the former's fitness for the position in as much as he had given the utmost satisfaction in both games between Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Hopkins, who did the entire umpiring for the game was utterly incompetent. Two instances of his work are noted. In the eighth inning, with three Harvard men on bases, Upton was given his base on balls, thus forcing in a run. After the game the umpire declared that the man should have been fairly out on strikes. In the ninth inning when Cook ran in and was mistaken for Sullivan, the umpire should have either called Sullivan out or else sent him back to second base. Several times he changed his decisions."
