VOLUME XII. NO. 40

and incidentally had dug deep down
into his hip pocket for a like purpose.
But be that as it may Mngr. Pratt
showed up with the goods and sue
ceeded in getting away with the long
end of the money. Needless to say
the final result, 5 to for Zimmerman,
was great satisfaction for the tall
one and his home town guard who
backed him in the little deal. .
The visitors grabbed a two run lead
in the first frame when they filled the
bases with two out. Then a short
twisting roller to Michaud, who finally
shared the sphere. Then quick
hurried throw to first that got away
from Galley, and two of Sims hired
athletes had counted.
In the third the Zims added another
run when Ursella made the complete
circuit after getting safely to first on
an infeld error. In their half of this
frame the Princeton team tied the
score when they started a batting
rally that netted them three runs.
Michaud, Jesmer and Wilkes were the
men who worked their passage around
| for, the three counters. Capt. Mallette
kicked in with a healthy smash that
helped whole lot in getting two Of
the runners home. 81:
Princeton lost the game in the next
inning when they let the Zim bunch
fill the bases with two out, and then
a bingle to short right sent two more
of them scampering across the plate
to safety. Neither side scored again
until Princeton made it to S in the
last half of the eighth. With two
down Galley smashed one through the
first baseman and went to second on
the play. Wilkes scored him with a
two-base blow. This ended the run
getting for both sides, although NAL
lette had a near score in the ninth that
would have tied it up had it material
lied. Doc led off in this round with
his fourth clean hit Of the game, a
double to left field. Third was the
farthest north he was able to get, how
ever, and the game was over to 4 in
favor of Zimmerman.
Saturday the Milaca- Greenbush bat
tie was staged for the Wind-up of the
county fair, and the two teams put up
a scrappy exhibition that was won by
the Milaca team in the 18th round.
Both teams got away to good start
and two to two tie hung fire until
9TH inning, when the Milaca fence
busters went out and broke up the
game by scoring three runs. A hard
finish by Greenbush produced another
run for their side, but this was their
limit and the team from up river
marched off the grounds with the long
end of the score and purse.
Take it altogether the base ball part
of the program at the 1916 fair was
well up towards the top as an enter
tainer and fun producer. Although
the weather for all three days was
about as bad as could have been Sc
lected by the biggest anti-base ball
crank on earth. Still the games played
were good fast exhibitions of the
national pastime. The scores 4 to 2,
5 to 4 and to speak for themselves.
