on Sunday, June 10.

By the close score of 2 to Manke's
outfit of baseball tossers took the
Foley aggregation into camp at the
fair grounds last Sunday. 1t was
real ball game from start to finish,
and only when the last Foley batter
had struck out in the ninth inning did
the local fans know for sure that the
Princetonians had one more scalp to
add to their string. It was pitchers

southpaws and was shutout affair

to win, both were cool in the pinches
and both fought gamely to the end.

Of the argument as the record shows
he allowed only three hits, struck out
16 of the opposing batsmen and only
issued two free trips to first. His op-
ponent was touched up for eight hits,
he struck out ID and also issued two
passes. Horrigan also banged out a
clean two-base hit in the seventh just
to add further credit to his record.
At the beginning of the last half of
the seventh inning the score was a
tie, 0 to 0, and the frst-base cohorts
began clamoring loudly for a score OF
some kind. Smith was first up fol-
