NOTES

lOWeIS OIL IHe game MOCOreQ down TO
see the contest but had little to say
right from the start. Only in the fifth
did they have chance to get in dig4I
and this satisfaction was short lived.
It's pretty hard to work up much en-
thusiasm when the opposing team
takes six run lead right in the first
two frames and your own pets are
only playing about SO percent of the
baseball that they really can play
when they hit their stride. This COM
bination would take the heart out Of
the biggest. optimist that ever lived.
It was good clean game from start
to finish and Dunn for Princeton and
an Anoka gentleman handled the in
dicators to the entire satisfaction Of
the large gathering.
Leander relieved Glass in the 9TH
and pitched the last two innings. Dur
ing the time he worked he allowed only
one hit and struck out three of the
opposing batsmen. He appeared to
have a world of speed and plenty of
stuff for the two rounds he worked.
Manager Hofflander says that when
he received his part of the gate re-.
ceipts from Manager Coleman of An
Okla he was just in time to see the.
Anoka bunch being paid off. Elves
and tens were being handed out to the
hired help like pay day on the river
in the old logging days when the drive
used to end up at Anoka for big pay
day and bigger debauch. It appears
that most of the Anoka players are
really Minneapolis players who have
all played more or less semi-pro. bail
and who perform for the Anoka man
agement at fixed stipend, the amount
of same depending on their ability to
field and clout the ball. But whether
this part of the transaction is true
! or not, or whether they get pay or not.
lis lmmaterial after all, as they are
real ball players, and as this same
team will play Princeton at the Prince
ton fair grounds next Sunday, July 6,
we advise all the friends to take it in
as they will have an opportunity of
seeing a fast, smooth running ball
team in action. And if Princeton can
regain her stride they can make this
same outfit go some if they want to
win.
Almost $50 Princeton fans drove
down through tn dust and wind to see
the exhibition and were sadly disap-
pointed in the result. If it had been a
close contest, lost by run or two. it
wouldn't have ranked so much. but to
drive IS miles to see an exhibition like
that was discouraging at least.
! While we are not sure yet, we be-
lieve that the jinx above mentioned
has now been located by the intelli-
gence bureau that Manager Hofflander
maintains in connection with his ball
team. While the evidence is not vet
conclusive, all indications point to
"Pongo" Olsen of Milaca, our former
townsmen, ex-soldier, statesman and
manager, as being the guilty party.
Verify, there will be work for the
grand jury at their next session.
Moose Anderson was doing the
catching for Glass and the big fellow
played his usual steady game and
came through with his customary safe
drive. But the unsteadiness of the
pitching and fielding goc on the big
fellows nerves once and he let 90 a
wild throw over the third base that
netted the Anoka team a run. It
seemed to be an off day for the whole
bunch.
The manager has two good games
scheduled for. this week. Friday. july
q, at the Princeton fair grounds, Foley
and Princeton come together for one
OF their VIGOROUSLY scrappy ball
games. Several weeks ago Princeton
beat Foley but it took them II in
nings to do it, and then they only had
{ one run to the good. Then on Sunday
the Anoka team comes here for re-
turn game and, with the right kind of
pitching, it looks as if the locals can
make this bunch extend themselves if
they want tthe long end of the score
again. The management has been on
quiet hunt for good pitcher to hurl
these two games, as Glass arm still
bothers him and he will not be in shane
to do battle Friday OF the following
Sunday.
