season in a blaze Of glory last Sun
day by shutting out the fast st.
Michaels bunch to 0. 1t was a
pitchers battle between two south
paws, Lefty Fehr hooking them over
for the locals and Lefty Peck doing
likewise for the visitors. Fehr had
all the best of the argument, only al
lowing two singles, striking out lO
and fielding his position in perfect
stvle. The Peck lad worked just as
hard but was touched up for five
hits, one of them for extra bases, and
issued free transportation to first to
two Of the Princetonians. Besides
this he is charged up with one field
ing error and several wild heaves at
critical times.
Princeton outplayed their opponents,
putting up as classy an article OF de-
fensive ball as has been seen at the
fair grounds this season. Galley COW
cred first and worked like big
Lacquer. Bob Berg held down the So
called keystone bag and, despite his
recent strenuous two weeks on board
ship with the naval reserves, played
ball just like regular landlubber.
The fast and reliable Nick Erickson
was at short, where he has played
as a regular for Princeton all season.
Nick grabbed everything that came his
way and participated in fast double
play that cut off prospective score
for the Saints. The fleet Harry Well
man cavorted around third like two
year-old thoroughbred. He knocked
down everything that came anywhere
near him, and, with fendish glee,
threw out his men at first by wide
margins. Fisher was at the receiving
end of Princeton's high-power battery
and did his part towards holding the
St. Michaels clan scoreless. Peter
son, Smith, Raiche and Doane tended
the sungardens in faultless style, Pet
terson knocking down one exception
ally hard-hit ball down the third base
line that ordinarily would have gone
for a double or possible triple
Princeton started the SC BRING in
their half of the third. Doane walked
and then stole second. On the next
ball pitched he beat it for third and
the runner, baseman and ball all came
togther about the same time at the
hot corner of the diamond. The ball
got away from the baseman and rolled
toward the outfeld, while Doane rolled
towards home at his best gait. He
beat the throw to the plate, counting
Princeton's first run. In any other
county besides Mile Laos they would
have had this old bird up on grand
larceny charge for this play, for it
was an out and out steal all around,
Princeton again cut loose in the
fourth frame. Wellman was first up
and got life on dropped fly in right
field. Galley sacrificed him to second
and Fisher scored him with two-base
forerunner of what was coming, for
in the next frame Princeton drove in
three more runs, thus putting the
game in cold storage for keeps. With
one down Doanc attempted to bunt,
and when the Saints got through
throwing the ball around the short
person was safely roosting at second.
Peterson let drive a single just over
second and Doane took third, scoring

away from the catcher and rolled to

grounder and the Saints elected tc

Nick to third. Wellman started tt

down there and then right back tt

shortstop, who had started home or
