TOOK EN- BOTH,

Princeton Defeated the Palaces Saturday
and Again Sunday.
There were two really good exhibi-
tions Of the national game in Prince
ton during the past week, when the
Palaces of Minneapolis encountered
the home team at the fair grounds.
The Saturday game started off with
three-bagger by Breyette and the
Minneapolis boys began to talk about
snaps. Their happiness was frosted
a moment later when Bainbridge bat
ted a hot one down to Lambert and
the wiry third baseman put Breyette
out Of the running in time to lob the
bal, to first and complete a double
play, Lynch struck out and Prince
ton came in to try their luck. Clag-
gett flew out to third and Southards
hit safely but went out trying to
stretch it into a two-bagger. Peter
son hit one through Lynch and went
to second on a passed ball. Lambert
was given life by mutf and both run
ners we're advanced a base by wild
pitch, scoring a moment later on hits
by Carl Cravens and Pratt. Sausser
went out, short to first. Four men
came up for Minneapolis in the next
inning, but only one reached first and
Princeton came in again. Cliff Cra-
vens struck out but reached first on
passed ball and scored on Goulding's
two-bagger and the latter came home
an instant later on Kennedy;s wild
throw. to catch him at third. The
next three men went out in order.
Neither side scored in the third, only
four men of each team facing the
pitchers. Cliff Cravens scored in the
next on his own hit, an error and Clag-
gett's single. Minneapolis went out
in: order in the fourth and fifth and
Princeton failed to cross in the fifth
and sixth. The Palaces got their first
scores in the sixth on a mutf in the
field and hits by Breyette and Lynch.
Princeton scored it's sixth and last run
in the seventh, when Carl Cravens got
first on an error and was railroaded
home on hits by Sausser and Cliff
Crayens. Minneapolis Tailed thrice
in the eighth. Flaherty~ was hit by
one of Sliver's benders and Breyette
put the ball over the right field fence.
Bainbridge hit to left and went to
second on the muff, scoring on Lynch's
hit. That ended the running and the
score was as follows:

Ordinance No. 81.

Ordinance No. 81, entitled IAN Or
dinance to prevent the erection or
maintaining of hitching posts and
hitching rings,'' etc., may have been
necessary, but we doubt the advisable
ity of the adoption of such an ordi-
nance. We are aware of the fact that
it is fashionable in certain quarters to
denounce every act of the village
council and the UNION has n OF now and
never has had any time for the chronic
soreheads and faultfnders. But as
far as ordinance No. 81 is. concerned
We consider it illadvised and impractic-
able and it should be repealed. If the
council wishes to be consistent it
should order the marshal to cut down
the electric light and telephone poles,
for they can be used as hitching posts,
and the merchant who is so fortunate
as TO have one or two of these poles in
front of his place of business is in luck.
It ordinance No. 81 is not>repealed and
it's provisions are enforced, a supple
mental ordinance should be enacted
providing for the imposition of a fine
Of imprisonment as penalty for hitch
ing horse, mule or ass Ia four-legged
@pne) to telephone or electric light
poles. The whole thing is absurd.
The .-fas:idious merchants on Main
street, who object to hitching posts in
front of their stores: need. not have
them there, and those who want hitch
ing posts should have them and should
be compelled to spend so cents or a
dollar once in a while on filling up the
holes in front Of their places of busi-
ness. ...4e....tt s-.
But we have some close-fisted busi-
ness men in Princeton, who would not
expend fve'cents in FIVE years for the
accomm odation Of their customers or

splendid uphill game. This game,
too, started with a double play. Brey-
ette hit fly to center which was
mutfed and Bainbridge hit little one
down to Cravens, who threw to second
catching Breyette and Sausser got it
to first in time to catch the runner
Fisher struck out and the agony was
over. In the second Minneapolis scored
three runs on an error, base on balls.
tielder's choice and Flaherty's double
and Breyette's single. In the next
seven innings Cravens had the visitors
at his mercy, allowing them but two
hits, and only once did they get as far
as second. Princeton did not score
until the fifth. Sausser hit high one
to left which johnson failed to hold
and the batter stopped at second.
Southards punched the ball heavily on
the nose and it hid itself in the grass
in right field near the fence, where it
remained in seclusion until both the
runners were home. Galley hit to third
and Kennedy let the ball drop so Galley
was safe. Cravens struck out. Lynch
failed to handle Claggett's grounder,
throwing wild, and Galley scored while
Claggett moment later purloined
second: Then Newton went out to CEN
ter and Lambert went out Martin to
Kennedy, but the score was tied. In
the seventh, after two men were out,
Peterson cracked out a single and
Lambert put the first ball pitched over
the fence, giving Princeton two runs
to the good. In the eighth Southland
connected for two bases and 'Caley's
single sent him across the plate. Galley
stole second and was advanced on
Cravens' sacrifice. Claggett smashed
a hard one out to center which Hogue
captured, but Galley beat the ball home
with the last run of the game. The

ing posts and the property owners on
that street should be obliged to bear
the expense OF putting that street in
proper shape. It is arrant nonsense to
talk about improving the roads lead
ing into town when the leading mer-
chants OF the village are too penurious
.to.l to Improve the streets in front of their
own doors. If Princeton were an in
corporated. city the property owners
could be compelled to stand the ex-
pense of paving or macadamizing Main
street. The money raised by taxation
IN Princeton village for road work
should be expended elsewhere than on
Main street.-The approaches to the
village from every point of the COM
pass are in a deplorable condition.
Princeton is exclusively a farmers
town. Its business men are supported
by farmers and if Princeton would
hold its trade and prestige it must at
least show its appreciation of that
trade by providing. decent thorough
fares through the village and by CO.
operating with the farmers for the
betterment of the highways leading
into town.
In justice to Mr.. T. H. Galley, presi-
dent OF the village council, it should
be stated that he was opposed to the
hltching post ordinance.

1cdl StttuupOluI fllcoCOn is eXcellenGly
situated. It is the center of a splendid
farming country-there is no better
all round farming country anywhere
than east, west and north of Prince
ton. There is nothing to prevent
Princeton from continuing to be one of
the best small towns in Minnesota,
nothing to prevent it from steadily
growing and improving until it be-
comes the best town of it's class in the
State, save and except the shortsight
edness of its. business men, and when
we say business men we mean every
man engaged in business in this viii
lage. There is a country naturally
tributary to Princeton sufficient to sup
port in excellent shape a town of 5000
inhabitants. There is land enough
within radius Of fifteen miles of this
village to furnish farms and comfort
able homes for three times the present
population of the territory in question.
Princeton is favorably located as a
shipping point, within couple of
hours ride of the twin cities of St.
Paul and Minneapolis on the south
and Duluth and Superior on the north.
Crop failures are unknown in this Sec
tion Of the State. Splendid crops of
small grain, corn and potatoes are the
rule, and as stock-raising and dairy
! farming region the Rum river valley
is unexcelled.
There is only one great disadvan-
tage, one stumbling block, that tends
to retard the growth of Princeton and
hinders the development of the sur
rounding COMPLIMENTARY COUN-
TRY ROADS.
With good roads radiating from
Princeton a distance of fifteen miles
the volume of business transacted here
would be doubled and trebled in very
few years and the farmers would find
it both pleasant and profitable to mar
ket their produce and do their trading
here
The UNION believes that if the busi-
ness men of Princeton we're to cooper
ate with the farmers of the surround
ing towns, a good system of highways
can be secured. We believe the busi-
ness men of Princeton can afford to
contribute literally toward the i'm
provement of the country roads lead
| ing into town, and every dollar judi
ciously expended will be money we'll
and profitably spent-will be like
bread cast on the waters.
Let us get together and discuss the
matter and see what can be done. Let
the farmers of the surrounding towns
meet with the business men of Prince:
ton and talk over the question of bet.
ter roads. If there is no objection the
UNION would suggest that a public
meeting of the business men and farm.

in this village on Saturday, Sept. Is.
for the purpose of discussing ways and
