Official scorecard, folded to 3 5/8" x 6 3/4", for a June 4, 1887 game between Princeton and Yale.  The Yale team contains the well-known name of Amos Alonzo Stagg, pitching and batting leadoff for the Bulldogs. Carefully scored in pencil, the scorecard is difficult to discern anyway, due to the outdated scoring system used, though it does appear to be a Yale win.  POOR condition due to age-related discoloration and glue staining on the reverse, though still an important document of 19th Century college sports rivalry.
