Elk RIVER DOWNED
Princeton Boys Show Superiority Over
Old Time Rivals and Defeat
Them in Score of Q to 6.
This Recompenses Home Team for the
Ten-lHning Tie Played at Elk
River Early in Season.

Aast saturday, at the fair grounds,
the high school team took a fall out
OF their old-time Elk River rivals and
finally succeeded in pinning their
shoulders to the mat, 9 to 6. Prince
ton started worrying their opponents
right at the start and succeeded in
getting half-Nelson on them in the
first inning, which Melted the orange
and black one score. Robideau was
the one who pranced around the bases
in the opening round, aided and
abetted by two bad errors of the Elk
River infeld.
The visitors tied the score in the
second inning, Brown hitting safe,
stealing second and scoring on a
bingle by Chase. Princeton started
the real fireworks in the second inning
and, when the smoke had cleared
away, the score marker had chalked
up four big ones for Princeton. c..
Stay started the pyrotechnic display
by hitting safe and Galley followed
suit with a safe hit between first and
second. Peterson failed to connect
with any of E. Davis benders, but
Briggs scored G. Stay with safe
wallop good for one base. Cy Robi-
deau then limbered up the heavy ar
tillery and cut loose a screaming
three-bagger which scored Galley and
Briggs. Umbehocker few out to
Bishop in left field but Cy beat the
THROWN to the plate with Princeton's
fourth score for that inning. Berg
shot off the "good night" piece by
hitting a pop-up which was smothered
by the Elk River second baseman.
Evidently Elk River caught the
spirit Of the occasion, for they imme-
diately proceeded to pull off a little
pyrotechnical display of their own.
Robideau got a good start in this
inning by striking out E. Davis, but
wabbled on the next batter, D. Davis,
and gave him free transportation.
Davis then stole second and went to
third when Anderson made the second
out, Robideau to Galley. Finch was
hit with pitched ball and then stole
second. Lee Bishop cut loose with a
single, scoring the two runners ahead
of him. Brown followed up with
another single but Chase ended the
fireworks by grounding out, c. Stay
to Galley. Princeton scored another
run in the fourth, Briggs making the
circuit on hit and errors by the Elk
River infield. Elk River counted one
more run in the sixth, Chase getting
to first on an error and working his
passage around to third base safely,
while Princeton was busy getting two
men out. Fearing that he was going
to die on third, Chase got good lead
on Cy's wind-up and stole home, be.
ing called safe at the plate on a close
decision. The visitors succeeded in
getting one more score before the
game was over, Anderson scoring in
the seventh on a base on balls, a
stolen base and a sacrifice. Princeton
collected one more in the sixth and
two in the seventh. Princeton's score
in the sixth was rather peculiar one.
G. Stay was first man up and hit a
little twisting grounder to the Elk
River pitcher. The latter fumbled it
a moment, then Strengthened up and
heaved to first to catch the runner,
but the ball went wild, and so far that
before it could be recovered Stay had
crossed the registering plate with
Princeton's seventh run.
In the seventh Princeton started a
little rally and collected two more
runs before they could be headed off.
With one down Umbehocker poled out
a single. Berg hunted to Davis, who
mussed the play, and Berg was safe at
first. Angstman came across with a
two-bagger and scored the two run
ners ahead of him. This ended the
scoring for both sides and the count

tonians when the nine innings we're
over.
Princeton objected nine hits off E.
Davis, every man on the team, except
Berg and r. Stay, getting one or
more safe wallops. Briggs and
Peterson headed the hitting list, each
player getting two safe wallops. On
the other hand Cy was rather stingy
with his hits and only allowed five
and kept these pretty we'll scattered.
Taken--on the whole, Princeton out
played their opponents in every de-
apartment Of the game,s and clearly
demonstrated that sthey,;were the better
f'ball players as we'll as making solid
their claim to that lo-inning tie game
which they would have won at Elk
River if they had had a little more
time. Score by innings:
