A GOOD BALL GAME
Sunday Game Somewhat One. Sided
but Proved Interesting to
Large Number of Fans.
Princeton Sends Zimmerman Home
With Nice Large Goose Egg
as Token of Regard.

the Princeton first team beat up Cne
Zimmerman club at the fair grounds
last Sunday. The game started out
like real exhibition of baseball and
for the fit two innings neither side
was able to score.
In the third round Princeton broke
loose and before they could be
headed off they had scored three
runs. Joe Trunk opened the hostil-
titles in this round with a drive
through the infeld. Doane got hit
with pitched ball and with two on
bases Berg drove fast one to the
Zimmerman third baseman. After
some difficulty the guardian of the
third station got the ball rounded
up and on a close decision Trunk was
declared out On the play. Wilkes
then hit a grass cutter to Winter
green at short and Wilkes was safe
at first when the first baseman
dropped the ball. DOane scored on
the play and Berg got safely to third.
Smiths infeld grounder started
series of wild heaves by the thinner
man infield that resulted in Berg
and Wilkes scoring before the sights
could be lowered for more accurate
pegging. No further damage was
done in this inning and the fourth
passed off without any casualties.
But in the fifth the Princetonian
tribe again took to the war path and
garnered in three more big ones.
Doane got free transportation to first
when he stopped one of Pitcher
Rights fast ones with his shin bone.
Berg laid down bunt and both run
ners were safe on the play. Wilkes
hit tuo-bagger to left and Doane
and Berg romped home. Smith came
through with hit scoring Wilkes.
Skahen hit to pitcher and Smith was
caught off second on the play.
Skahen stole second and "Doc'' Nal
lette pushed him along another notch
with clean single over second. A.
Roos finished this momentous inning
by fouling out to Murph Angstman
who was doing the backstop work fol
the visitors.
In the sixth inning the locals agai1
broke out on rampage Of run get
ting and aided by some bad errors
and wild heaves by the Zimmerman
inheld Trunk and Doane worked
their way around the bases ant
brought the home guards total u
to 5.
During the full nine innings tn
visitors were unable to register
man at the home station, although
they had men on bases in almOs
every round, and it looked as if the.
were going to score on several occa
sions. At one time they had tn
bases full and only one out, but Full
wiler forced the batter to hit littl
roller to the pitchers box and tn
man on third was forced out at tn
plate and the runner going to frs
was also nipped and the side retire
scoreless. The 'Zims'' worked har
to break up the stone wall defense c
the Princetonians but just when
looked as if there was going to be
breach in the walls sharp tieldin
and some air tight pitching close
the gap and drove the invaders bac
scOreless.
In Sundays battle the locals re
sorted to their lighter artillery an
kept the heavier fire for the comm
battle next Sunday, when the fas
Sank Rapids team will come over fc
a game on the local fair grounds.
brand new pitcher started out in tn
firing top for the locals. He goes b
the name of Mahesen and halls fror
the Glendorado country. For fou
innings he safely plotted the ship {
state and worked out of several ba
holes without being scored on. H
appeared cool under fire and althoug
nothing but youngster, still
showed in his brief stay on til
mound that he has the markings of
first-class pitcher in him.
At the beginning of the fit
round Fullwiler was substituted fc
the new recruit and 'Fish'' eel,
brated his return to the mound I
shutting out his country cousins f,
the remaining five innings. He a
lowed them only three scattered hit
struck out four and folded his pos
tion like a veteran. With "Fish
and the new man demonstrating tn;
they can be relied upon to win gam
this season, it looks as if the pitcl
ing staff was going to be exception
ally strong.
