...University has defeated Princeton twice in the series, so that if it wins the series with Yale, it will win the championship; if it loses two straight games, it will finish second, while if it wins one game and loses two, it will tie with Yale for the premier honors...
...Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Coach Mitchell will probably select Mahan to do the slab work for the home team, as the latter was exceedingly effective against the Quakers in the first game, allowing only four scattered hits and whiffing eleven batsmen. Spielman, the opposing team's premier twirler, will doubtless go in the box for the visitors. The latter has shouldered the major portion of the mound-work for his team this season and with few exceptions has succeeded in coming out on the long end of the score...

Whitney is still unable to take his regular turn in the box because of an injury to his finger which has caused him considerable trouble. Either Gill or Halloran, the two premier tossers of the Boston aggregation, will pitch for the opposing team. These two twirlers have borne the brunt of the box-work for their team this season and have come out fairly well considering the strength of the teams which have opposed them...

That the play was not ruined by the anti-climax in this act, is proof prositive that it is a drama of exceptional power...
