GETS FOLEY'S SCALP
Home Team bangles Another ScaIn
From Its Belt in a Game With
the Foley Terrorists.
Old Time Rivals No Match for Prince.
ton Boys, Who Pile Up a Big
Score With Utmost Ease,

By the jug-handled score of II to
the Princeton baseball team defeated
their old-time rivals from Foley last
Sunday at the local fair grounds. 1t
was one glorious mixture of good and
bad baseball but, nevertheless, made
lots of fun for the fans and held the
large crowd interested until the last
inning was played.
{ Foley opened the game auspi-
ciously when Galineau scored in the
first round on a collection of two hits
and an error. Not liking the looks
of this one-run lead the locals came
in in their half of the first and
pounded the ball all over the lot get
ting total of five hits in this one
inning. These five hits were gar
nished with several bad errors COM
mitted by the visiting athletes, and
one pass was also issued during the
mix-up. When the side was finally
retired the official score showed that
eight Princetonians had galloped
across the registering station with
as many runs. This one inning
practically decided the game and
gave the locals lead that couldn't
be overcome by the visitors.
After the first inning the game
steadied down into quite respecta-
BILE exhibition of the national game,
and the Foley bunch played fast
article of ball compared with their
display of baseball talent in the
opening round.
A youngster by the name of Felix
Nutshell was on the firing line for the
visitors and, with the exception of
the first inning, pitched a classy
article of ball. In all he allowed
nine hits, and five of these came in
the first round.
Joe Porter started the game for
the locals and steered the ship of
state safely for six innings, during
which the Foleyites collected two
runs off his delivery. In the begin
ming of the seventh Porter retired
on account of bad finger on his
throwing hand, and Fullwiler as
sumed the white mans burden on
the mound. The work of both of
the local slab artists was good but
did not show so prominently in this
game because the terrific hitting of
the locals in the beginning of the
game overshadowed the boxwork of
the pitching staff.
The Princeton inield presented
new lineup again Sunday. Art Roos
was cavorJing around first base. and
has developed into a permanent fix
ture at this place. Smith was back
on second and played sensational ball
Sunday, accepting several hard
chances without a skip. Harry
Davis was covering the third station,
and although appearing to have
little trouble in handling fly balls, on
the ground balls he proved to be a
sure fielder and pegged to first base
with speed and deadly accuracy.
Wallie Berg played the short stop
position and bolstered up the de-
fensive game of the locals, the Short
stop position having been somewhat
neglected heretofore. With these
four men covering the infeld, and
with Skahen directing the defensive
game from the catcher's position,
the locals should have no trouble in
putting away the rest of the games
on their schedule.
Next Sunday the Monticello team
will be here to try conclusions with
the Princeton club. They come here
with good record and expect to put
a big twist in the winning streak of
the local athletes. Inasmuch as the
home talent appears able to give a
good account of themselves, we pre-
dict. that it will be some game.
