IN close and exciting finish the
princeton ball team defeated the
Monticello leaguers at the local
grounds last Sunday by the score of
E6 to 5. Fullwiler was doing the
|5honors for the locals and pitched
|shut-out ball for eight innings, al
lowing only five scattered hits and
retiring five of the visitors by the
strlke-out route. During his stay
on the mound he refused to issue any
passes or let a batter get first via
the dead ball route. It was really
the best exhibition of pitching that
the local lad has exhibited this sea-
son, and his hard work was appre-
clated. Buckmeister was hooking
them over for the visiting athletes
and pitched good ball throughout.
He allowed the home talent seven
hits in all and struck out nine of the
| local fence busters. However, he
was touched up for hits several times
at critical stages of the game when
hits meant scores.
Both sides went out in order in
the first round, Fullwiler striking
out the first three batters who faced
him. Monticello failed to score in
the second, but the locals got busy
in their half of this round and took
the lead with two runs. With one
down, Skahen drove out single and
went to second on a passed ball,
Berg hit one down to Peterson at
second, and the latter booted it so
that both runners were safe. With
these two men on bases Art Roos
slammed out single. scoring the
two runners ahead of him.
Princeton slipped one more over
in the third, when 'Fishn worked
his brother pitcher for free transport
tation to first, eventually ended up
at third safe, and scored from here
on a single by Doane. ...
Monticello gathered in their first
score in the fourth, when the Prince
ton intield wabbled badly and, before
it could be righted, had taken unto
itself three bad errors. Lippy, the
visiting shortstop, secured a single
in this round but it did not count
in the scoring.
Princeton tore loose again in the
fourth, Davis starting the parade
with single and stealing second.
Berg hit one through the first base
man and Art Roos followed up with
another slam through the same
position: Davis scoring on the play
and Berg taking third. Murph
Angstman then laced one to right
field and scored the two men ahead
of him. This slam of Murph's was
Princeton's farewell shot and ended
their scoring for the day.
Monticello squeezed in one more
run in the eighth when they
punched two singles and a sacrifice,
so when Monticello came to bat in
their half of the ninth it looked
pretty much like lead-pipe cinch
for the home boys with their lead
| of four runs. But here's where
things started going bad, and the
lads from down river proceeded to
throw an awful scare into the local
players and fans. Porter was SUBJ
stituted for Fullwiler in this closing
round just to give the commodore a
chance to timber up his starboard
broadside in preparation for future
battles. Joe got good start when
he forced Buckmeister out at first
on an easy grounder. MCGEE stood
pat however, and worked Joe for a
pass and then stole second. Davis
flew out to Smith and, with two gone,
the crowd got ready to leave. Joe
was having difficulty in getting con-
troll of his splitter and further COM
plicated things by passing Stamer.
Schultz hit one down to Smithie and
the tall one let the ball get through
him, MCGEE scoring on the play. Joe
seemed unable to get control and
filled the bases by walking Lippy.
Peterson then hit a sharp roller in
front of the plate and, in the mix-up
which followed the play, Stamer
scored and ''Pete" was safe at first.
Swanson got hit with pitched ball,
forcing in another run and making
the score to with the bases full.
With the crowd on edge and every
body pulling hard for a putout,
Boyd slammed a nasty one down the
first base line that A. Roos glommed,
and finished the agony by retiring
the rallying clansmen from Month
cello.
Heine Plaas and Bert Kaliher
umpired the game and gave practi-
cal demonstration of how ball game
should be handled by the arbitrators.
