The Princeton Nine's Trip.

The Princeton nine started on April 10 on its annual trip to New York where four games were played in as many days The continued hard work had its effect upon the players and some of them were so badly off that the game as scheduled with the Bergen Points was cancelled. The Princetonian says: "The trip has been very successful in every way, and never at this stage of the season did a Princeton nine have brighter prospects.

The first game was played on Wednesday, with the New Yorks at Oakland park, where much to the surprise of everyone and owing to their opponents inefficient pitcher, Princeton won, 8 to 5. Six of the New Yorks struck out while only one Princeton man failed to hit the ball. On Thursday, Princeton played the Jasper college nine and was again successful, beating them 13 to 9 King and Brown were Princeton's battery. Princeton struck out sixteen men, Jasper only eight. Princeton's work at the bat was very effective. Princeton lost their first game of the trip to Newark 14 to 4. The Princeton team were overworked and batted and fielded poorly. The most interesting game was with Staten Island on Saturday. A large audience was present. Staten Island's battery did fine work, while Ames and Brokaw held their opponents down to three hits and struck out fourteen men.

The Princeton nine was made up of Durell c. f., Payne, l. f., Dana, 1b., Knickerbocker, s. s., King, r. f., Osburn, 2b., Mowry, 3b., Ames, p., Brokaw c., with King and Brown as change battery.
