A WLTHERINC GAME
Milaca Goes Into Ball Game Feeling
Particularly Cocky and Emer-
ges Like Lame Duck.
Tom Olsen's Alleged Artists Drubbed,
Crumpled Up and Vanquished
by Princeton Team.

The Princeton ball team admins
tered it's annual drubbing to the Mil
AGA aggregation before the record
crowd of the season at the fair
grounds on Sunday. Tom Olsen's men
have been playing winning ball for
Milaca this season, and they should
be better than ever now, as they had
ample opportunity to pick up the fine
points of the great American game
by watching Princeton perform. The
final count was Ia to 5.
Labissoniere was on the slab for
Princeton and he performed in superb
manner In only one round was Mil
AGA able to score, and four errors
figured largely in the counting. Fish
er was at the receiving station and
caught a creditable game.
Crawford was on the firing line for
Milaca, and he had wind-up that was
weird and wonderful to behold. If he
had anything else it was kept con-
cealed, however, as the Princeton will
low wielders found him for Is safe and
hard blows. Handschu was behind the
bat and caught his usual good game.
Both sides were retired in one, two,
three order in the first inning and
Milaca was blanked again in the sec
ond. Princeton cranked up its scoring
machine in this round, however, and
three men rode it around the circuit.
Erickson hit safe, and stole second
while Galley was being retired. Klein
holtz came across with sacrifice and
Erickson went to third. Smith drove
one to the grass and Erickson counted
Fisher then leaned on one and gave it
a ride over the fence, and he and
Smith both counted. Labissoniere re-
tired the side with long fly to left.
Milaca was again blanked in the
third but Princeton took one more in
this round. Doane, first up, waited
the pitcher out and went to first on
four wild ones. Peterson went out on
long fly, and Doane purloined second.
Duncan laid down bunt and Billy
went to third. Erickson then ham
mered out double and Doane counted.
The side was retired before further
damage was done to Milaca's baseball
"rep.'
Nothing doing for either side in the
fourth inning tells the story as only
six men faced the two pitchers. But
the tifth-it was a merry go-round for
both sides. Just to be neighborly
Princeton let down the bars and five
of the visitors raced across the regis
tering station greatly to the glee of
the visiting fans. Seven errors were
made by Princeton's usually stellar
infield and these, combined with two
hits and two walks, enabled Ros-
sing, Nutshell, Wills, Hummel and
Clark to count. The score now stood
five to four in favor of Milaca, and
the cloud of gloom that had enveloped
the visiting fans evaporated. In fact
for the first and only time during the
game did they chirp up and let their
presence be known. Their joy expired
with a dull thud, however, in Prince
TONS half, as the locals ran bases wild,
and seven runs were pushed across.
Labissoniere, Doane, Peterson, Erick-
son, Galley, Keinholtz and Raiche
crossed the counting station. Four
healthy blows, two walks and a hand
full OF errors figured in the scoring.
Milaca never had a look-in during
the balance of the game, but Prince
ton, just to make it doubly sure,
grabbed three more in the seventh
Raiche, Labissoniere and Doane count
ing.
1t was one enjoyable ball game, es-
peclally from Princeton standpoint.
Notes.
Ravenscraft of Ogilvie and Currie
of St. Paul umpired the game and
proved satisfactory.
Billy Doane emerged from the con-
test with perfect batting percentage.
Out of six trips to the plate he hit
safe four times and walked twice.
Erickson also had a great day with the
stick, connecting for three safe drives.
Nutshell, Princeton star of last sea-
son, twinkled brightly in Milaca uni
form, and connected for three blows in
safe territory.
Princeton right now has a powerful
Dali team, and some speedy contests
are IN store for the local fans.
Mllaca and Princeton will doubtless
come together later in the season. and
it is Ito say that it will be real
ball game.
About 900 fans attended the contest
