IRISH co DOWN
Foley Flattened Out on Its Own
Grounds by Fred Manke's Ac-
tive Fence Busting Bunch.
Heavy st. Cloud Team Comes to
Town Next Sunday and There's
Colossal Contest in Sight.

BY close score of to the Foley
aggregation of ball tossers went down
to defeat on their home grounds last
Sunday before the vicious onslaught
of Manke's fence busters. 1t was just
as good game as the score indicates
and was witnessed by a record-brcak-
ing crowd that enjoyed every minute
of the close, snappy play. The game
was fast and clean right from the
start and only in two innings was
there any scoring done. Princeton
broke loose in the second frame, and
before the Benton county outfit got
their feet under them again mad scored
three runs. Foley fought a game, up
hill right from this point on, but luck
was with the visitors, and only in one
inning did the home crew get man
as far as the plate, O'Leary counting
in the lucky seventh.
Both sides went out in rotation in
the first round. In the second, with
one down, Smith drove one through F.
Nutshell at short and took second mo-
ment later on a passed ball. Young
singled and Smith coasted to third on
it. Mark bounced one off Galernault's
nit at second and all hands we're
safe, Smith scoring on the play. An
derson came through with smash
out between center and right and
Young and Mark chased across the
plate before the ball could be put back
in play. Galley up and plugged one
for a single, Anderson scoring from
second on the blow. Peeved at this
rough treatment Thielman frightened
up and struck the next two Princeton
batters out, leaving Galley anchored
at second. The damage was done,
however, and these three runs proved
to be more than enough to win the
game.
Foley refused to give up and in ev-
cry inning made desperate effort to
get back in the running, but alright
pitching and sharp fielding broke up
every attempted rally and there was
nothing doing for the home gang I'M
til the lucky seventh. OLeary, Ano-
ka's old second baseman, led off for
Foley in this frame. Grow juggled
OLeary's grounder and the fleet Irish
man beat the throw to first. On an
attempted steal to- second Berg let the
ball get away from him and it rolled
out into the hay fields, where Doane
was stationed in center. OLeary tore
for third, Doane threw high to Grow
and the wild Irishman continued on
his happy-go-lucky voyage, eventually
arriving safely in port with Foley's
lone run for the afternoons pastim-
ing.
Anderson and Fischer did the bat
terry work for Princeton and never
did this pair work harder to turn in a
win. The sun was blistering hot and
the heat terrific, but these two ster-
ling young athletes held steadily to
their posts until the game was over
and Foley defeated on their home
grounds. Andy only allowed six scat
tered hits and struck out eight. He
was really entitled to shutout and,
if Doane hadn't got so ambitious and
tried to see how far he could heave
the ball in the seventh, the youngster
would have been credited with a shut
out. Fischer worked right with him
every minute and deserves generous
share Of praise for his share in the
victory. Jake Thielman and B. Mush-
ell worked for Foley, and the old-timer
pitched classy article of ball in ev-
cry round except the second. Prince
ton punched three hits on him in this
session, which was sweetcned some by
two infield errors at critical times.
The old national Lacquer had eleven
strikeouts to his credit, never walked
or hit man, and was touched up for
eight hits, all we'll scattered except
for the bunch-up in the second.
