here today, declared that in the

only fall short of what We should
expect in q free people Of a great

"A passion for legislation Is not

said, "and in the mass of measures

constantly impressed with the lost
motion and the vast waste In the
endeavor Of democracy to function
wisely"
Increasing, He Says.
The regrettable thing. Mr..
Hughes continued, ''is that the ten
dency to enact uncertain laws
seems to be increasing, and what ID
still worse, that the people tolerate
It and that there are but faint de-
mands for improvement. Our ma

allowed eight scattered hits. Regard

to his post and piloted the ship of

bases.

a pitched ball in the very opening of
the game. After few minutes time
he gamely insisted thathe was able
to go on but finally retired in favor Of
Smith. It is reported there are no
bad after effects from this unfortunate
accident.
Ravenscraft of Ogilvie and Harry
Bradford of Milaca umpired the game
and naturally had to stand considera-

Milaca will be down 10 the county
fair on Tuesday, August "a, which will
be the big "Milaca day." and their
ball team will be there ready to fight
it out to a finish with the Princeton

as they lined up Sunday, are about
evenly matched. Any advantage that

Shauer started it off with single and
hits by Fisher and Berg put him
around and scored him. Again in the
fourth inning Princeton squeezed IN
another one when Galley got on and
scored from second when Fisher
mauled out his second hit in two
times up. At the opening OF the
sixth the score still stood to IN
favor of Milaca. Princeton jumped
into the lead in this round when
Shauer and Galley both scored, aided
whole lot by another clout by the
mighty "Fish."
At this stage of the game the
Princeton rooters had their chance to
tell the world what fine ball team
they had and how the Milaca team
was easy pickings for their pets. Ihls
chesty feeling was soon done away
with though, for in the last half OF
the seventh, with a runner at first,
Dahlstrom drove out high fly INTO
left field. Smith made a desperate ef-
fort to knock the ball down but fell
into a clump of weeds and thistles
that had no particular business being
out in the playing field. While he
CROPPED around in the jungle for the
lost pill Dahlstrom and his tcammate
went tearing over the home plate,
thus giving Milaca one run lead
again. Much JOY in the Milaca section
again and deep gloom on the Prince
ton side.
Princeton again wheeled her bat
teries into position for another des-
perate attempt to win. With one
down Galley hit safe and a minute later
Fisher drove the ball outside the lot.
A ground rule only allowed two
bases to the batter and Galley was held
at third by the same rule Galley
scored on an attempted sacrifice by
Berg and all hands were safe. Hudge
grounded one and Fisher was out at
the plate. Labissoniere came up with
the score five all, two out and two
Princeton runners c1uttering up the
bases in front of him. Louie took
