the diamond the Princeton high
school base ball team administered

at times, and clearly outclassed their
opponents. The final score was 26
to A. ...-.........

Emahiser in the points for Prince
ton, and Anderson and "Beaner''
did the heavy work for Foley at the
outset. Eac}, side scored one run
during the opening round, but the
visitors were BANKED In the second
inning. Princeton fairly pulverized
the ball in it's half of the second and
drove tile sphere to all corners of
the lot. Emahiser was the hero of

his bludgeon against the sphere with
such force as to send it through the
fence. 1t was clean home run, and
the fact that the bases were full at
the time did not lessen the JOY of
the local fans in the least. Prince.

speed in the fourth inning. and

halt the onslaught of the locals.
''Beaner,' the catcher, had demon
strated that he was possessed of a
truly remarkable throwing arm, hav-
ing hurled the sphere to deep center
every time he attempted to ''nail''
a man at second, and the visitors
evidently thought that it was a
shame to waste an arm like that
behind the bat. The aforesaid
"Beanerr' was placed on the mound,
and, while he did not succeed in
hating the locals he slowed them
up trifle, as only runs were Sc
cured in this inning. The visitors

pitching classy article Of ball for
the locals, voluntarily retired. Peter
son attempted to take up the bur-
den, but his arm was too lame, and

lacked control, and John Schmidt

creditable manner. While the vari-
Gus hurlers were being tried out, 2
of the visitors completed the circuit.
