...Princetonian and many other college papers thought that Harvard, as represented by the Advocate and CRIMSON, had right and the better argument on their side in the recent controversy over the Yale-Harvard, '87, base-ball games...

It may be because we are bigoted on the subject of professionalism, but we confess that we are unable to see what possible right a nine, composed partially of professional players, has to play for a college championship any more than a league nine, under the name of some particular college, would have.

The winner's time was 19 1-4 seconds...

The game was interesting only in that it showed how effective Nichols might be against the nine who had practiced with him all winter. He struck out eight men and only seven scattering hits were made off his delivery...
