Harvard today plays Princeton for the second and possibly the last time this season, as the loss of this afternoon's contest means defeat in the series. The nine is, however, playing much better than it was a fortnight ago, and, judging from their improvement, as shown against Pennsylvania and Amherst, they may reasonably expect to win. Princeton, on the other hand, has lost one of their best men in Easton, who will be unable to play. In fielding the nines are about even.

The batting orders of the teams are as follows:

HARVARD. PRINCETON.

Rand, l. f. c. f., Bradley.

Haughton, 1b. p. Wilson.

Beale, c. f. r. f., Altman.

Scannell, c. s. s., Butler.

Stevenson, 3b. 1b., Kelley.

Burgess, r. f. 2b., Smith.

Dean, 2b. c., Kafer.

Chandler, s. s. 3b., Hillebrand.

Paine, p. l. f., Sankey.
