Princeton ana Milaca Play Ball on Last
Sunday--Score to for Princeton.
Those who witnessed the game of
ball last Sunday afternoon between
Princeton and Milaca did not go away
disappointed, for the game was good
one, not because it was free from err
rors, and poor playing at times, for it
wasn't, but because it was common,
everyday ball playing. Neither team
was strong in individual merit, and the
Milaca boys had got together picked
up nine for the occasion, and had done
very little playing. The Princeton
team was in about the same shape. But
most OF the boys know thing or two
about bali, and the game was we'll
worth attending. The score was close
for time, and at the end of the third
stood 2 to 2. In the next four innings
Princeton failed to score. The bows
could find the ball but failed to get it
away from the hungry paws of the saw
mill lads and most of the monuments
for the potato diggers were erected at
first. It Twas in the eighth that the
home boys found the oasis in the desert.
The Milaca boys had scored three n
the sixth and when the Princeton boys
went to bat in the eighth they lacked
four OF making the score d tie. There
were lots of logs in the boom for Mil
AGA and they were in good spirits. eb.,s
the home team picked up courage and
the rooters began to roet: The Milaca
pitcher was pounded hard and there
were sixruns made. The Milaca team
made one in the-eigh th and one in the
ninth and the score was to s, with
the home team an inning to come.
The game started when Mason of
Milaca had his baggage checked to
first on balls but he foundered on third.
Peterson was hit by wild throw and
took his base, but saw his finish at
second. Mcclure singled and a good
hit by Cutler enabled the Milaca Of
fetal to score. Rudquist fell down at
first and the Jig was up. The Prince
ton team made one score in the first,
Shaw sent a good hit to center and
Slayback followed suit which landed
Sambo on bag 3. Griebler and Mar
shall went down at first but Shaw got
a safe tally at headquarters. Milaca
got a man around in the second, but
Princeton laid down. Milaca was dead
to the world in the next three innings,-
but in the sixth fatty Curtiss
swiped one of Strangers missiles and
felt his way around to third In the
meantime Scribner sent up high one
that reached the earth; Conlin made
a two-bag hit, and when the boys got
through playing with Princeton they
had marked up three. In the seventh
Marshall went into the box, and it was
one, two and three. In the next inning
Rudquist hit two-bagger, and got
home on an error, but the next three
did not fare as we'll. Silver eat two of
'em up at first.
When the Princeton aggregation
went to bat in the eighth Faucht who
had been delivering dropping willows
for the Princeton boys all through the
game, could not stop the deadly on
slaught and the home team got in six
scores while the visitors took an out
ing. Janikula, he who had failed to
connect with the ball, gave it an awful
swat in this inning and made the only
three-bag hit of the game. Curtiss
poked his thumb through a ball and
went over onto third, and Griebler was
famed at third, and took horizontal re-
freshments on the grass.
When the visitors got on roll call for
the ninth Pratt st<aightened out his
|legs in the box, got few twists to
himself and commenced delivering
some swift balls with mysterious lines
to them. But one score was made, the
visitors lacking one Of making it tie.
Faucht and Co1burn made the bat
terry for Milaca, while Princeton had
Stranger, Marshall and Pratt in the
box, and Griebler took what the bat
ters would leave. Clifton Cravens
umpired. T.
