LOCALS WIN AGAIN
Princeton Base Ball Team TrampIes
the Crown Aggregation of Stars
Into the Dust.
"Pongo' Olson Dates Up Speedy
Gross Bros. Nine of Minneapolis
for Next Sunday.

The Crown base ball team of Min
neapolis invaded Princeton last Sun
day, and after "Pongo' Olson's
diamond stars had walked all over
the aforesaid aggregation, the REM
nants were carefully placed in auto
mobiles and wheeled back to the
Mill City, where it is presumed they
will remain. The locals were abso-
lutely merciless and applied copious
quantities of whitewash to the visi-
tors in every round. The final count
was II to 0.
Wilkes was on the mound for
Princeton, and pitched the most SEN
sational game of his career. In fact
a like performance is seldom seen.
Not hit was registered off of his
delivery; not man on the opposing
side reached second base. and but
two Of them managed to reach the
initial sack. Thirteen of the oppos-
ing batsmen were retired by the
strikeout route. and only p men
faced him in the nine innings, which
is certainly pitching phenomenal
ball. ''Curly' Skahen was again be-
hind the bat, and his speedy work
was one of the features. The two
visitors who reached first were
promptly retired at second while at
tempting to steal. The Crowns re-
sorted to two batteries in their fran
tic efforts to halt the plunging as
sault of the Princeton swatsmen, but
to no avail, and their outfelders
travelled several miles in their efforts
to pull down the long drives poled
out by the locals. 1t was a contin-
ual round Of pleasure for the Prince
ton players, who romped around the
bases almost at will.
Princeton started scoring in the
first inning. Smith was first up, but
was retired. Doane went to first on
a dead ball, and then purloined Sec
ond. Galley walked, and Doane
went to third on passed ball, and
Galley travelled to second. Doane
scored on Mallette's sacrifice, and,
Galley scored when Wilkes leaned on
a fast one for clean drive. The
side was retired before Wilkes could
complete the circuit, and in the
second round Princeton was BANKED.
Princeton increased it's lead in the
third, by adding two runs to its
total. Smith was first up and con-
nected for screaming single. Doane
then picked out good one, and pro-
ceeded to lay his bat against it with
such force as to give the sphere a
ride that carried him to third base,
scoring Smith. Doane crossed the
plate while Malette was being put
out at fist. The side was retired
before further scoring could be done.
Princeton came back stronger than
ever in the fifth and pushed four
more runs over the plate. Galley
started the inning right by polling out
a sizzling two-bagger. Mallette was
= retired, but Galley reached third.
Wilkes then reached first on a
grounder and Galley scored. Berg
then just about broke the heart of
the visiting twirler by leaning the
hickory to a fast one for a clean
three-base drive, scoring Wilkes.
Jesmer poled out clean single and
Berg crossed the plate. Jesmer
scored when Emahiser slammed out
vicious single. The side was then
retired. Princeton then slowed up
: 2 trife, and was BANKED in the
sixth and seventh. In the eighth,
however, the finishing touches were
put on. Smith and Doane, the first
two up. we're each awarded free
transportation on balls. Galley then
came across with clean single that
scored Smith and carried Doane to
third. Doane stole home just as
Mallette laced out safe drive The
side was then retired.
The visitors never had a chance to
score at any stage of the game.
Only three men an inning faced
Wilkes, and it was as thorough and
complete trouncing as any base ball
team ever received
NOTES.
The management regrets very
l.
