stuck until the last man was out in
the ninth inning.

tcIDeTS ana Lon EVANS were OIl udAO
at the gate, where the sinews of war
are collected, and it kept these gen
tlemen busy keeping the crowd pass
ing through the turnstiles in gentle
manly and decoreus order and at the
same time getting the kale necessary
to keep the finances of the Princeton
ball club in good shape.
Heinie Plaas again donned his Of
fetal blue uniform and acted as UNI
pire-in-chief- Art Wood, who is also
gaining somewhat of a reputation in
this league as an umpire, handled the
decisions on bases. It would be only
an unnecessary repetition to add that
these gentlemen handled the Per
Torrance without fear or favor, called
the plays as they saw them, kept The
game clean and free from wrang1ing,
and gave general satisfaction to play
ers and crowd. Good umpiring is very
essential to good, clean baseball and
the locals are extremely lucky IN hav-
ing the services of these two gentle
men donated them. Umpiring is a
thankless work of charity involving a
considerable amount of hard work,
the umpires ofttimes doing more ac-
tual work in ball game than some of
the players.
The visitors pulled off play in the
fifth inning that goes into the record
as a neatly executed triple play, the
only one, as far as we know, ever
seen on the ball lot, and a play that
only occasionally happens in baseball.
1t came about thusly: With one out
Geo. Angstman worked the pitcher for
a free trip to first. Grow attempted
to sacrifice him to second but the play
was bungled and both runners were
safe. Beckett was next up and he
drove out liner that looked good for
single and both runners started for
the next station. The strong head
wind held the ball down, however, and
It 'ahghted in the hands of the Mime
apolis short stop, who was standing
but "a few feet from second base when
he got the ball. He quickly stepped
on the bag, getting Angstman for the
second out, and then plugged the ball
to first in time to get Grow off the
bag for the third out. It happened so
quickly that the crowd didn't realize
at first what was going on. It was
quick thinking on the part. of Boehme,
the Crowns short stop, and officially
he gets credit for two put outs and
one assist.
1nasmuch as Manager Hoff has
signed up another player for the rest
of the season we desire to make the
following explanation for the benefit
of the poor unfortunates who are led
through morbid curiosity to peruse
these writeups. The whole situation
arises over the Anderson brothers, the
first being the man who has caught for
Princeton most of the season and the
second being the new man hired by
Hoff, playing left field, and batting
like a fend, and being a full brother
to Catcher Anderson. By some hook
or crook the catcher was nicknamed
Andy" and it now appears that can
dy" is the correct name of the second
Anderson. Suffice it to say that from
this on the catcher will be designated
in these columns as Moose" and his
kid brother will be entitled to his own
original name Of ANDY" Incidental
ly they are pair Of real ball players,
and if they have any more brothers
they are welcome here.
Sunday, August "a, Cambridge will

and promise to make the locals go
some if they want the long end of
the score in this game. Game called
at 3 p. m.
