steer last week and, instead of win
ming the Foley game, Princeton lost
by the almost unanimous score Of 10
to 2. The contest was played on Fol-
ey's grounds and one of the largest
crowds of the season turned out to
see these old rivals fight it out. This
is the fifth game they have played
this summer and the count now stands
and 2, Princeton being credited with
three victories and Foley with two. ,
Joe Mushel's imported Siwash
nietsche was the boy who spilled the
marbles for the Princetonians. And
he spilled them right. He is full
blooded Indian whom Joe discovered
up in the Swatara country and pitches
ball like his forefathers hit the war
trail in days, gone by. Only three of
Manke's outfit could find him for
safe ones. These lucky three were
Berg, Fischer and Grow. Bob is cred
tied with two safe ones, one of which
was good for an extra base, and Grow
and Fish grabbed off single apiece.
The Indian struck out seven and only
passed two men. The Princetonians
raped the ball around whole lot but
didn't seem to get any steam into their
punches. He had a good curve ball
and mixed this up in good shape with
his fast one.
Wild Bill Beckett, who pitched for
Princeton several seasons ago, was
tried out by Manke and found wanting.
Bill pitched good ball for us one whole
season and went from here to the
Aberdeen team in the Dakota league.
He pitched good ball out there and
| started out with them again this
season, but threw his arm out in
game this spring. He has been home
in Minneapolis trying to get his salary
arm back in condition and thought he
would be able to go through nine in
nings without any trouble. To make a
long story short, Bill was not in
shape, his arm weakened and the
Foley gang rode him for a total of
II hits. He got one strikeout and
walked two men. As far as the pitch
ing went Foley had all the best of it
and should have won.
Princeton. played a fair defense
game in the field and also pulled off
quite a few errors. Not as many as
in the Lindstrom game, but too many
to be real baseball. Foley has
strengthened their outfit with a couple
of the old Anoka players and a few
more from Minneapolis and have 8
first-class team. They played in hare
luck the early part of the season, but
stuck right to it and apparently have
hit their stride right now. A weel
ago they beat the first team of st
Cloud in a 10-inning game on thu
Saints grounds and now have the FAM
pulling for them just like they wer'
winners of the worlds series. You'v
got to hand it to, them over there
