CRIMSON NINE DEFEATS TIGER TO HEAD LEAGUE

Princeton, N. J., April 19--Behind two-hit pitching by Bill Lincoln, the Harvard Varsity nine took Princeton into camp 2-0 here this afternoon, to gain a stronger hold on the upper berth of the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League.

The Crimson needed only four hits to down the Bengal, while Lincoln was denied a no-hit, no-run performance through a scratch infield single by Dick Bell in the sixth and Ken Sandbach's long drive to left in the ninth.

Harvard's first run came in the fifth when Captain Dick Maguire was safe on French's error. Hayes advanced him to second with a sacrifice, and, after Lincoln flied out, another error, this time by Chubet, Tiger shortstop, allowed the Crimson leader to score on Prouty's slow roller.

The second Crimson run was tallied in the eighth. Lincoln beat out a sharp grounder, advanced on Adzigian's hit to right, and scored when Princeton muffed a double play at second.

The Crimson treks to New York today to meet the defending league champions, Columbia. The Lions have already been beaten by Princeton in their only league game.
