Witnesses the Contest.
One of the largest crowds of the
season was at the fair grounds last
Sunday to witness the Princeton and
Zimmerman ball teams clash for
supremacy, and for five innings one
of the closest and most thrilling con-
tests ever staged here was witnessed.
"Pongo' Olson's men finally demon
strated their superiority, however,
and when the game ended the locals
had grabbed the long end of an to 3
score. Both teams played fast and
snappy game, and the contest was
thoroughly enjoyed by those in at
tendance.
Wilkes was on the mound for
Princeton, and the big fellow was in
superb form. But six scattered
blows were secured off of his deliv-
cry, and he whipped them through
in a manner that was truly discon-
certing to the batsmen of Sherburne
county. ''Murph' Angstman was
at the receiving station, and his &C.
curate, and steady work were
features. Wintergreen and Right
and Miller took it upon themseles
to do the bulk of the defensive
work for the visitors and did we'll,
considering the batting prowess of
the locals
Neither side scored during the
first round, but in the second inn
ing Walker completed the circuit for
the visitors. Princeton evened
things up in it's half, however. Jes-
mer was first up, but was retired.
Emahiser was next and he poled out
a clean drive. Trunk secured free
transportation on balls, and Roos
then connected for a safe drive,
scoring Emahiser and carrying Trunk
to third. Smith poled out fly
which was caught, and Trunk was
retired at the plate. Zimmerman
annexed another run in the third
after two men were down, and
Right had been called safe at first
on a close decision. Princeton as
sumed the lead in it's half, however,
by pushing two runs over the plate.
Doane was first up, and started the
inning right by polling out hit.
Doane went to second on an error,
and then purloined third. Galley
was retired on grounder, and
Doane scored. Wilkes was next and
reached first on an error. He went
to second on a passed ball and stole
third: finally scoring on an over
throw. Angstman poled out safe
drive but the side was retired before
he completed the circuit. In the
fourth round the visitors tied the
score, when Walker hit safe, and
went to second on Rights grounder,
finally scoring when F. Angstman
connected for single. From then
on to the sixth the score was tie,
as neither side secured a run, and
none of the visitors completed the
circuit during the balance of the
game. Princeton sewed the game
up for keeps in the sixth inning by
pushing three runs over the plate
Jesmer was first up and got on
through an error. Emahiser then
came across with sizzling drive
that carried Jesmer to third. Trunk
was retired, but Roos reached first
on fly that scored Jesmer, and
carried Emahiser to third. Captain
Smith was next, and with two men
Oh bases the entire squad OF local
fans was pulling for hit Smith
did his duty. as he leaned his
bludgeon to one of Rights slants
with such force as to send a low
drive away beyond the left fielder.
1t was clean two-bagger, and
Emahiser and Roos crossed the
plate. The side was retired before
Smith could score. Princeton was
BANKED in the seventh, but added
two more runs to it's total in the
eighth. Roos, who was first up,
was retired on grounder but Smith
followed with a screaming single.
Doane then connected and Smith
went to third. Smith scored on
~Caley's grounder and Doane ad-
vanced to the third station. Wilkes
delivered a sacrifice fly that scored
Doane, and the side was retired on
Angstman's fly to the third base
man.
