Princeton at the Fair Grounds
Next Sunday, June 5.

footed Oak Park outfit last Sunday at
the fair grounds. It was far better
game to watch than. the score indi-
Gates, and if Oak Parks speed mer-
chant twirler had been there to start
the game the final result would have
been good deal closer. A young man
by the name of Grover does the mound
work for the Oak Parkers but did not
get there in time to start the game.
Erickson started for him and the locals
took to the young fellows shoots and
slants like a duck takes to water.
Grover blew into camp during the
third inning and when he took charge
of the ceremonies the locals had al
ready piled up six run lead, had two
men on bases and only one out. Grover
was little wild and walked the first
batter, but then steadied down and
struck the next two out, retiring the
side. without further scoring. It would
serve no useful purpose to relate all
the narrowing details of the first two
innings. Suffice to say that the fusil-
lade of hits sounded like a machine
gun squad at target practice. To add
to the gaiety Of the occasion the Wis
itors kicked in with several bad boots
to help swell, the score total. Four
Princetonians romped across the plate
in the first round and two more fol-
lowed in the second.
Oak Parks counter came in the third
frame. Up to this time the reliable
old Louie had been pitching alright
baseball, and there had been nothing
doing for the Benton county lads.
Either in spirit of, generosity or
through feeling of charity, the wiry
st. Paul boy loosened up in this frame
and let three Of the visitors single in
a row, giving them their lone marker.
Possibly, being so near Memorial day,
Louie thought they were entitled to a
marker of some kind and handed them
this one in a spirit of good fellowship.
Outside of this one slip he refused to
give them even a pleasant smile,
struck out twelve of them, refused to
issue a single pass and allowed only
six hits. Three of these came in the
third and the remainder was scattered
around in the second and eighth
frames. Fisher worked behind the
bat and put up his usual good article
of ball, besides banging out two hits
one of them screaming triple to deep
right.
Grover held the Princetonians score
less up to the fifth inning, striking out
four of the first seven batters!to face
him. At this stage of the game he
seemed to weaken momentarily and
Manke's fence-wrecking crew pro-
ceeded to get busy. Grow was first up
and walked. Labissoniere sacrificed
him to second. Doane laid down a
bunt and when Grover played for
Grow at third he threw wild, Grow
scoring and Doane taking second on
the play. Galley drove one. at the
infeld, and while they were retiring
the big fellow at first the other base
runner took third. Doane took a
healthy lead off the bag, and when the
pitcher tried to catch him scampered
home with the second score for this
frame. Reed let drive double just t.,
help along and Fisher gummed thing
up some more by slamming out a three
Dagger, scoring the Reed boy. At this
stage of the game Bob Berg became
belhgerent and crashed out single
driving in Fisher with the fourth and
last score. This ended the fireworks,
as no further scoring was done on
either side.
