found the journey to Cambridge last
Saturday not to its liking and got lost
in sand bank somewhere between
here and Cambridge. The team cele-
brated the loss of their link" by de-
feating the Cambridge team 7 to 5 on
a wind and sand swept diamond which
made baseball anything but enjoy
able. The weather could not dampen
the ardor Of the high school teams
and rooters, however, and the sport
went on just as if the weather man
had furnished an ideal day for the fes-
tivities. Verify this high school
spirit-or call it what you will is
wonderful thing.
Chouinard attempted to pitch for
the Cambridge team but was pounded
out of the box in the very first inning,
being replaced by Larson. Umbe-
hooker started the game by striking
out and Berg was thrown out at first
by Chouinard. Robideau singled and
stole second. Angstman drove out
another single, scoring Robideau.
G. Stay was safe at first on an error,
Angstman stole third and scored on a
wild pitch. r. Stay turned the
brotherly love trick and hit out a
bingle that scored his brother. Galley
was hit by pitched ball and went to
first and Immediately purloined
second. Peterson hit hot one to
Dahlgren down the first base line, but
he recovered the ball in time to retire
the side. Cambridge scored two runs
in their half of the first inning.
Oman started the ball by safe drive
over second and then stole second and
third. ICY" frightened up and struck
Dahlgren out. Chouinard was safe
at first on a close decision on an in
field grounder which scored Oman.
Starkey went out, Robideau to Galley.
Larson broke into the game with a
safe clout, scoring Chouinard but r..
Stay put sudden quietus on the ex-
citement by throwing Olson out at
first. Satisfied with their lead of one
run the Princeton aggregation quieted
down for the next three innings and
failed to score, although "Murph'
Angstman tried to start things in the
third round by hitting safe and steal
ing second with only one out. Lar
son objected to any further casualties
and struck the Stay brothers out in
succession. Briggs also tried to
start things in the fourth by cracking
out clean two-bagger, but his team
mates would not come to his rescue
and he died on bases for want of hit
of some kind to score him. But these
desperate efforts eventually bore fruit
and in the fifth Princeton garnered in
three more italics. Berg went out by
the shortstop to first route, Robideau
poled one through Chouinard at third
and then purloined second. Angst
man few out to Starkey and it began
to look as if the storm was over. c..
Stay contributed a single and Robi-
deau beat it for home. r. Stay hit
one through the short stop position
and all hands we're safe. Galley
dropped hot one through Starkey
and the Stay brothers romped home
with two scores. Peterson wound up
the outbreak by going out, Starkey
to Dahlgren. Princeton added one
more for good measure in the seventh,
Robideau, Angstman and c.. Stay
hitting safe for a total Of one run.
Cambridge started a rally in the
seventh inning, which netted them one
score. Their stock took another jump
in the eighth, when the crowd started
some real small town roofing and,
aided by a few rather strained de-
cisions by the umpire, the Cambridge
cohorts proceeded to count two runs
without a single hit This brought
the score up to 5 to and the crowd
was now on edge for the ninth inning,
hoping that their favorites would
win the game in the home stretch.
Princeton did nothing in their half of
the ninth, and when Cam bridge came
to bat in the last half of the ninth
they needed two runs to tie and three
to win the game. By this time the
crowd was on its feet and doing it's
prettiest to rattle ICY" and his team
mates. Cy refused to rattle, how
ever, and caused dark and solemn
gloom to settle down over the congre.
cation by striking out the first three
batters who faced him in the ninth
inning. Score by innings:
