AS base runner Doane has few
equals and the score book credits

On the 10th of August Lindstrom
will meet Princeton at the fair
grounds and this contest will be
worth travelling several miles to
witness. ... r.
The boys were unanimous in their
praise of Manager Reed of Lind
strom and say that they were royalty
entertained while there.
The Princeton ball team struck
genuine ''Tartar" when they clashed
with the Boston Rloomers yesterday
afternoon at the fair grounds. The
day was ideal and the contest was
witnessed by large crowd of fans.
A large sized hoodoo has been lin
gering in the vicinity of the local
ball tossers' camp of late and it was
evidently right on duty yesterday. as
the team did not begin to perform
up to usual standard. After the
smoke of battle had cleared away,
the final count was s to 4 in favor
Of the visitors. Wilkes was on the
mound for Princeton at the start,
but the big fellow had an off day.
However, he was not alone respon-
sible, as at times the support &C.
corded him was extremely shaky.
Fullwiler took up the burden in the
sixth inning and finished the game
in creditable manner. In fact the
entire team frightened up and the
visitors were BANKED the balance Of
the game. Skahen was behind the
bat and performed in creditable
manner. Compton and Adamson did
the heavy work for the visitors and
''got by in good shape.
! The Boomers were the first side
at bat and were retired in one, two
three order. Princeton secured one
run in their half and should have
scored another. Roos was first up
and connected for a healthy 3-base
drive, but was retired at the plate
in attempting to stretch it into
home run. Doane was retired after
driving out grounder to the in
field. Bergswas next and he leaned
on one for sizzling 3-bagger, and
scored when Mallette poled out
corking line drive. The visitors
came back Strong in the second in
ming and before they could be retired
pushed three runs over the register
ing station. Princeton was BANKED,
after the first inning until the sixth,
and the nearest they came to- scor-
ing was during the fourth round
when Smith drove one to the outer
garden for three bases. The visitors
scored another in the third inning,
when their stalwart left fielder
nailed out home run, and they an
nexed still another in the fourth. In
the fifth inning the visitors added
one more to their total and in the
sixth round they secured their last
two runs of the game. Princeton's
banner inning came in the sixth, and
this was the bright round of the
game. Galley was first up and smote
one that carried him to the initial
sack. Smith: who was next, also
connected safely, but was forced out
at second when W. Berg drove out a
tielder's choice. Skahen then ad-
vanced to the batter's box with his
trusty bludgeon and he leaned on a
fast one and drove the sphere almost
out of sight. 1t was a clean home
run and Skahen completed the cir
cult behind Galley and Berg. Neither
side scored after the sixth inning
and Princeton was forced to accept
the short end of the score.
NOTES.
''Hienie" Plaas attended to the
umpiring and everyone was satisfied
with this part of the game.
Princeton's lineup was shifted
several times during the game, but
to no avail.
One of the features of the game
was sensational stop pulled off by
Mallette in the first inning. 1t was
one of the most spectacular catches
seen on the local diamond for some
time. :
Hard hitting was INDUCED in by
players on both sides. Three home
run drives are chalked down in the
score book, besides two and three
base hits were not infrequent.. 1t
was an old-time swatfest. >.
While the locals have had rough
going of late they have creditable
record. Losing games by one score
is rather tough luck, but they will
doubtless regain their winning
stride soon. H. u,
