Dank along the nome station. He
swung wickedly third strike and
the momentum he gained on the swing
carried him off his feet and he sat
down backwards in the mud, sadly
disarranging his newly. dry-cleaned
uniform and leaving the doughty cap
tain in a rather embarrassing posi-
ton. Several of the base runners on
both sides performed some mudhorse
stunts, including fall downs, back
flops and nose spins, all of which kept
the crowd in good humor.
Ii "Heinie" Plaas and Ravenscraft of
Ogilvie handled the indicators and kept
the players Of both sides right to
their appointed tasks and without any
back talk either. The work of both
men was eminently fair and impartial
to both sides.
Jack Schmidt broke into the lineup
and covered right field for the first
six innings when he retired to give r.
Angstman his chance in the sun-gar-
den. Jack did some good work in the
outfeld, accepting all three of his
chances without skip, and one of
them he got only after hard run,
with two out and two Ogilvie base
runners ready to score if he failed to
get the ball.
A good-sized crowd witnessed the
game and a small but noisy bunch of
Ogilvie rooters accompanied their
team and made up by volume what
they lacked in numbers. Milaca sent
its usual delegation, headed by the
irrepressible Tom Olsen, who in years
gone by. skillfully guided the destiny
of the Princeton ball team.
When we first arrived on the scene
about an hour before game time it
looked more like a working party re-
pairing badly shot up piece of no
mans land than base ball grounds.
Captain Morton was right out in the
middle of the muck, clad in his trench
boots and tin helmet, repairing the
effects Of the weatherman's downpour
Of the morning. Manager Hofflander
was also there demonstrating that his
experience in France had made "Mud'
his middle name. Director Evans
and Ed. Anderson were also right out
in the middle of it doing good work
with shovel and spade. These ring
leaders were ably assisted in their
work of charity by Don Sausser, G.
i Umbehocker, Louis Lessard and sew.
eral other dyed -the-wool baseball
fans who would rather miss a good
meal than miss their Sunday ball
game.
| Sunday, August 10, the team goes
to Foley for return game with the
Benton county team on their home
grounds. Foley has played two games
with the locals this year and, while
defeated both times, it was only by
the skin of their teeth that the Prince
tonians were able to get away with it.
Foley says that they are going. to
win this game if they have to hire
Mike Kelly's whole crew from St. Paul
to turn the trick. Princeton is going
in good form now and Beckett and An
derson will be there to do the heavy
batter work, so it ought to be regu-
lar afternoons entertainment. Foley
has literally patronizer Princeton
baseball and dances this season, and
we would suggest that as many of the
fans as can take an afternoon off mo-
tor over to the county seat of Benton
county and let the natives over there
know that we are from Mile Laos
county. It's just nice drive across
country and with good roads, and

NOTES.

!. + - u
Beckett for Princeton and Roth for
Ogilvie were the opposing slab artists
and, while Big Bill was returned as
the winning pitcher, the real laurels
should go to the tall, lanky youth
from st. Cloud, who wears the Ogilvie
uniform and does the hurting for the
Kanabec county bunch-for a good
consideration. Beckett allowed eight
scattered hits and the Roth boy is
credited with a one hit game, Doane
being the only Princetonite to solve
his delivery for a scratch single. The
tall st. Clouder had a world of
speed, good control, and was mixing
them up so we'll that the home bunch
couldn't connect with his hooks and
slants for anything that would fall
into safe territory. On top of this
the lanky one was using a quick
breaking curve ball that seemed to
break right off short and jump about
eight inches. While Beckett allowed
eight scattered hits he kept them
sprinkled around where they did the
visitors no good and, when Bill got
into hole and had to pitch to get
himself out, we noticed that there was
none Of the Ogilvie batsmen who
could connect up with anything safe
when hits meant runs.
Owing to the softness Of the field
several funny incidents happened DUR
ing the game. Felix Nutshell slipped
in the mud while at bat and, with no
Of hitting at the ball even,
brought his bat, while still resting on
his shoulder, into contact with the ball
and knocked a little pop-up into
Roth's hands. It was merely an ac-
cident but almost resulted in double
play, as Anderson came near getting
caught off second on the peculiar mix
up. Captain Bob also performed a

.CHALKS up ANOTHER
Princeton Ball Team Defeats ogilvie
BY Score Of One to Nothing
in Sundays Game.
Next Sunday the Locals Go to Foley
to Try Out Their Skill With
Team of That Place.

Playing on sodden field and with
the weather man threatening more
rain at any minute, the Ogilvie and
Princeton ball teams got out and
played one Of the best games Of the
season at the fair grounds last Sun
day. Two hours of rain in the fore
noon had made quagmire of the
infeld and it looked as if the game
would have to be called off, but Man
ager Hofflander got busy, put volun-
teer crew of men to work, and by
game time they had the grounds
nursed back into at least semblance
of a ball field. Owing to the condi-
ton Of the ground and the threaten
ing weather the crowd was slow COM
ing and the game was late in getting
started. However, when the teams
once got into action there was excite
ment enough for everybody and they
went right after each other from the
tap of the gong, ran off full nine
inning game in jigtime, and turned in
a to 0 score with Princeton grabbing
onto the lone run of the game.
Ogilvie went out in rotation in the
first round without getting a man to
first base. Doane, leading off for
Princeton, dropped Texas Lacquer
into right field for single and a
moment later stole second. Leander
went out on an infeld liner and Galley
worked the Ogilvie pitcher for free
transportation to first. Two on and
only one out it looked good for a
Princeton score. Big Andy Anderson
failed to connect and, with two out,
Galley and Doane we're still left at
their anchorages' at first and second.
They started double steal and Jack
Roth, pitching for Ogilvie, helped the
good work along by letting go wild
pitch that got away from the catcher
and rolled to the backstop. Doane
rounded third and started home but
! NJ egAA4o eAAAAS tAAO S<1tSAAS1 11<1O I0CIl0H0O
the ball and the runner WAS driven
back to third. The catcher's peg to
the baseman to get the, runner at third
was wild and Doane reached home
with the only run of the game. Galley
trailed to third on the play, but Cap
tain Bob ended the inning without
further damage or scores. From this
point on the game settled down into
a regulation grind with good pitching
on both sides and the teams playing
! alright ball behind their respective
hurlers. Occasionally a runner of
either side would work his way as far
as third, but that's the best he could
do, and he was left stranded there by
| his team mates. The one run lead
proved to be enough to win the game
and Ogilvie, failing to get a man
across, had to finally accept a l to 0
shutout at the hands of the locals.

M'CUMBER URGES
NATIONS LEAGUE
First Republican Senator to
Voice Approval of the
Presidents Plan
WOULD LET GERMANY IN

Washington. Jan. Immediate es-
tablishment Of league of nations. with
Germany as a member, was urged in the
Senate today by Senator McCumber. Of
North Dakota. the first Republican
member of the Senate TO voice approval
Of President Wilson's proposal for such
an organization.
The first clause of n compact for such
a league. Senator McCumber said. should
declare that each independent nation Of
the world as it shall exist at the time
this compact shall be executed has the
right TO live and work out its own des.
tiny. free from any imposing danger of
any mighty military neighbor."
with such a solemn compact Of ma
tions executed by all the great nations
Of the world" said the North Dakota
Senator. "the danger of any great war
would be pressed far into the realm of
impossibility. Does anybody believe that
if such great international agreement
had been in existence prior to 1914 even
Germany. with her autocratic and ire
sponsible government, would have dared
break her compact?
II want this bond and I want Ger
many'S signature to this bond. She has
been the Cnly country that has threat
"ned the peace OF the whole world for
the last forty-five years. and to meet her
threat every other nation has had to
keep itself armed to the teeth and
weighted to the verge of poverty to
maintain mighty armaments.
And as deeply as / hate Kaiserism
and the abOminable doctrines of military
Germany, | believe We should extend the
hand Of brotherhood and friendship to
democratic Germany when its people
have repudiated the stigmas on real Ger
man character and have steered their
country clear OF the worse malady, Boil
shevism."
Replying to the argument that estab-
lishment of a league of nations would
weaken the Monroe Doctrine, Senator
McCumber said the league would |
strengthen It. as all nations would be !
bound To respect the territorial integrity
Df the Central and Sou'h American re- |
publics. whereas now only the United
states guarantees their independence
and integrity.
Discussing other phases OF the work

lumber said the congress at Versailles |

SYSTEM FAILED. SAYS HARDEN
Germany Squandered Strength Of
Nation to Maintain Policy

Berlin. Jan. 7.--(By A. P)--writing
In the Zukunft in connection with Ger
manys policy of alliances. Maximllian
Herden declares that Germany's rulers
merely squandered the strength OF tho
nation in an attempt to maintain the
old world system. which had either TO
be radically transformed or perish.
The Hapsburg system, with It's wiles
and malice; Bulgarias lust for power
and the maladmlnistration of the Young
Turks were not to be saved" says
Harden.
''Germany's Turkish policy was espe-
cially faulty. German diplomacy con-
sidered the friendship of the Turks as
good compensation for the gambling
losses Germany suffered for many years
through her attempted rivalry OF British
naval supremacy through sycophantic
OF the Callph's favor and
through the planning Of land route
to India"
Harden concludes:
"Britain's allies may now stalk about
as vlctors, while Germany's companions
have all become cripple9.'
