...will probably be taken by Davidson, '88, a good thrower and reliable fielder, but an uncertain batter. Kimball comes in from left field, and fills Buffum's position at 2d. He is a well known player and is conceded to be the best all around player on the team.

Princeton also scored one run on a bad error by shortstop, who, getting his finger knocked off, and stopping to pick it up before throwing, overthrew, and the man came around. In the seventh inning the umpire earned three curses on strikes, balls and a close decision at second. In the twenty-ninth inning Princeton again tallied, the datter hitting the ball...
