LOCALS WIN AGAIN
Princeton Ball Team Comes Back and
Defeats Zimmerman Sunday
by Score of to 3.
Enormous Thr0ng of Fans Witnesses
the Contest---Lindstrom to
Be Here Sunday.

Before monstrous crowd of 500
people the Princeton and thinner
man ball teams played off the rub
Der game at the local fair grounds
last Sunday. In the earlier part of
the season the locals defeated the
athletes from Zimermman and then
were in their turn defeated at Zim
Town by the close score of 2 to l, in
the now much talked of game played
at Zimmerman a couple of weeks
ago. Sundays game was the decid-
ing one and both teams, and their
rooters back of them were deter
mined to win this third and decid-
ing game ana thus cinch the base
ball supremacy of this part of the
country.
When Umps Heinie turned to the
crowd to announce the batteries for
the impending battle he looked into
the enthusiastic and expectant faces
of about 500 base ball fans,, gathered
together from all parts of the neigh
boring country to witness this battle
royal. And for seven and half in
nings it proved to be real base ball
game, as first one side looked like
winners and then the other.
Finally the God of base ball de-
cided to award the honors to the
home team and in the last half of
the eighth inning 'Pongo's'' wreck
ing crew pulled off a batting rally
| that blew up the outer and inner
works of the opposition and left
no doubt in the minds of the specta-
| tors as to how the game was to end.
Zimmerman failed to score in
their half of the first inning although
Angstman almost completed the
circuit, being caught at the plate
on a close decision. Princeton took
one in the first when with one
down Doane doubled to center and
scored OH another double by Capt.
Smith. A moment later Smithie
was caught off second and Wilkes
finished the round by striking out.
Both sides failed to score in the
second although Princeton's chances
looked good when Galley, first man up,
tripled to deep center. The Zim de-
Tense frightened however, and the
locals were unable to score the big
fellow on third.
In the third the visitors punched
three hits off of Wilkes, which to-
gether with base on balls, netted
them two scores and gave them
lead of one run, Princeton refused
to be led by the visitors and also
scored two runs in their half of the
third round, Emahiser and Doane
completing the circuit. There was
nothing doing for either side in the
4th round but in the 5th Zimmmer-
man succeeded in tieing the score
when Bill Walker led off with his
second hit out of two times up, and
finally scored on sacrice fly to CEN
ter. The sixth and seventh we're
dark for both sides and in the 9Th
Wilkes who apparently was getting
stronger as the game progressed, had
no trouble in disposing of the Zim
batters who faced him.
And then came the daylight fire
works that brought the Princeton
rooters to their feet in a spasm of
enthusiasm and sent the Zim
team down to hopeless defeat, for
when this round was finally over
the locals had acquired a total of five
runs for the inning and had the
game safely sewed up, to 3, which
proved to be the final count.
Realizing that the game was draw
ing to a close "Pongo" wig-wagged
his wrecking crew from the bench
that it was time to go in and break
it up. With his orders firmly fixed
in his mind Bob Berg, first man up
for Princeton, strobe to the plate
with his mighty bludgeon and
wrapped one of Rights choice offer
ings to the outer works for clean
double.A moment later he vent to
third when McGee, catching for
Zimmerman, leta fast one get by
him. Doane then pasted one at the
right fielder and Berg scored, Doane
going to third before the bewildered
outfelder had recovered himself and
the ball. Capt. Smith broke in
with his second double of the game,
scoring Doane. Wilkes drove hot
one through the pitchers box and
everybody was safe. With Smith
and Wilkes cluttering up the bases
Galley smote one to right field that
sent the two runners safely home and
put Galley on second. Doc. Mallete re-
fused to be out done by his co-part-
ners in crime and so jitneyed one to
right center that scored Galley and
