VISITORS BITE DUST.
st. Cloud Team Comes to Conclusion
1t Is Lesser Microbe When
Pitted Against Locals.
Game Next Sunday Will be Played
With the Strong Expressmen's
Team From Minneapolis.

Evidently the loss of the county seat
had little effect on the Princeton ball
team, for on the Sunday after election
they tore into St. Cloud team and
cleaned them up 10 10 1. Princeton
won the game right in the first inning,
and from there on it was only a ques-
tion Of how large the final score
was going to be.
Sid Michaud was the political man
ager for the Princetonians and his line
of bunk was nearly as rich as the mix
ture handed out by the overzealous
Milacaites in the. recent campaign.
Sid's fast one was working in good
shape and his hook was so deceptive
that the saints couldn't do thing
with it. Not single hit or score did
they get until the 9th frame. One dar-
ing saint finally got to first on an in
field error, was sacrificed to second and
scored on lone hit along the third
base foul line.
This game entities the Princeton
badmen to another notch on their gun
butts. They have met and defeated
the Braham and St. Cloud teams by
large and decisive scores, and the
crowd is now insisting on stronger OPP
ponents for the locals TO go up against.
Princeton has the makings of real
ball team gathered together, and with
Michaud to lead the attack there is no
reason why they can't hold their own
with the best teams in this vicinity.
With Erickson, Wellman, Galley and
Berg in the infield, we have combi-
nation that should round into a smooth
working, defensive quartet, that it
would be hard to slip anything over on
.or punch anything through. The out
field positions are unsettled as yet,
with Smith, Raiche, Grow, Doane, A.
Anderson and Schupp to draw from
for the regular sungarden caretakers.
In. response to the fans demand for
a faster team for the locals to go up
against, Manager Craig has gone to
considerable trouble and expense to
bring up the Expressmen from Mime
apolis to do battle with his colts on
Sunday, May 80, at the Princeton fair
grounds. This Minneapolis team is
one of the fastest aggregations in the
city league, and if they don't give the
fans all the baseball thrills they want
in one day we miss our guess. It will
cost the Princeton management about
$500 to put this game on and it is a
sort of test game to see whether this
community cares to support this class
of baseball or not. Apparently the
fans in this community and neighbor-
ing country want the best there is to
be had in the line Of baseball, end the
management will go the limit to give
them the real goods. The game is not
conducted in this town with any idea
of making profits, and every cent that
comes in at the gate is eventually put
right back into the game or grounds.
All we expect to do is to break even,
keep out Of the hole, and give the fans
in this part of the country the best
brand of sport that the actual atten-
dance at the games will stand for. If
you want to help keep up the standard
of baseball around these parts this
summer your attendance will so indi-
cate and the management will be en-
couraged it it's present policy to go out
and get better and faster teams.
