TWO EXCITING GAMES.


Princeton Clash on Diamond
and Princeton Loses.
Bert rlark's Troubadours 90 Into Ac-
ton Against Long Siding and
Lose by Single Point.
The Princeton highs journeyed to
Cambridge last Saturday to do battle
with the high school team of that
place and. in heart-breaking, nerve
racking game, finally lost out to the
blue and white athletes by the close
score of 6 to 8. Following is de-
tailed account of the catastrophe:
Umbehocker was first to bat for
Princeton and struck out; Peterson
was safe at first on Torrell's error; G.
Stay hit to Larson at short and both
runners were safe when he fumbled
the ball. Angstman sacrificed, ad-
vancing both runners one base. With
Princeton cohorts yelling loudly for
hit of some kind, the Cambridge
pitcher weakened and walked r. Stay.
With the bases full Pete Smith took
three lusty swings at the unoffending
atmosphere and retired the side score
less. Cambridge put in a bid for the
game right in the first round, scoring
one run on combination consisting
of pass, a sacrifice, an error and
safe hit. Princeton failed to score in
the second round although they filed
the bases with only one out. Cam
bridge came right back for more in
their half of the second and added
one more run to their string, due
principally to a three-base clout by
Oman. Princeton had the best of it in
the third, blanking the blue and white
and collecting their initial run. With
two out Pete Smith was safe at first
and went to second when the Cam
bridge pitcher heaved the ball over
the first baseman's head. Pete went
to second on the overthrow and
scored on hit by McVicar. Brown
finished the inning by striking out.
There was nothing doing for either
side in the fourth, although Princeton
succeeded in getting their usual quota
of men on the bags but no scores C.
Stay opened the fifth by getting
pass and advanced to second when
smote the ball on the nose
for a safety. While r. Stay was
striking out, the runners worked
double steal. Smith laid down
bunt, scoring G. Stay; McVicar sacri-
feed, scoring Angstman and advanc-
ing Smith to third, where he was
caught mapping a few minutes later
and retired by a pretty peg from
Chouinard to Starkey on third.
Cambridge refused to lose the lead,
however, and came right back for two
more runs, thus taking the lead again
4 to 3. With one down in the sixth
Fullwiler was safe at first on a muffed
fly by the Cambridge center fielder
and was sacrificed to second by
Umbehocker. Peterson came through
with double, scoring Fullwiler and
going to third on the mixup which
followed the drive. c. Stay retired
the side, being thrown out at first on
an easy grounder to short. Not lik-
ing the looks of the score in a tie,
Cambridge proceeded to get busy
again and garnered in another run
before they could be retired. Prince
ton failed to do business in their half
of the seventh, but the locals pro-
ceeded to get busy again and, on
combination of hits and errors,
gathered in two more runs before they
could be headed off. Princeton
opened the eighth in good style,
Brown and r. Stay, first two batters
up, getting on bases safely, due to
errors of the Cambridge infeld.
Umbehocker struck out while Brown
stole third, only to get off a minute
later, and was nipped by the sure
throwing of Chouinard. Peterson
drove one to right field good for two
bases and Stay romped home. c.
Stay lambasted one to center field for
a safety and Murph Angstman butted
in with another hit scoring PETER
son. Stay was thrown out at home
on a close decision in an attempt to
make home on the drive. Cambridge
collected another run in their half of
the eighth but Princeton went out in
rotation in the ninth and the game
was over-6 to9.
