PEASE DEFEATS OGILVIE

Milaca Makes Good Start But Frays
Out and by Score of IA to 2
Loses to Princeton.
The community picnic ten-inning tie
was definitely decided the first day Of !.
the fair when Dalbo and Princeton
went to the mat with the final result
of II to 9 in favor of Berg's warriors.
It was an in and out affair, some good
base ball and some bad. The playing
of both teams was erratic at times
and then again they would settle down
and play real base ball. The, final
score was quite large but the oppos-
ing clubs were always near enough to
each other to make the finish uncer-1
tain.
Leander and E. Hedien were the OPP
posing pitchers and their performance
was about stand off. Both were
wild at times and had hard time to
locate the plate. In all there were
seven players who were hit by pitched
balls. A raw northwest wind might
have had a whole lot to do with this.
Murph Angstman did the backstop
work for Princeton, and Pearson
worked for Dalbo. Both men put up
very creditable article of ball, work
ing hard all the time.
The outstanding feature of the
game was triple play pulled by Dali
bo in the third inning. Princeton had
filled the bases and there was nobody
out. The runner at second took too
big lead toward third, with the re-
suit that the runner at third started
for home and was trapped and tagged
out. The man going to third was also
caught and before the mix-up was
over the man at first had got past
second just far enough to get caught
in the backwash Of the play and was
pegged down for the third put-out-
It was some weird base running on
the part of Princeton and quick, fast,
effective work by the visitors. Wood
and Newton umpired to the satisfac-
tion of all.
Princeton VS.. Milaca.
The Friday game between the old
rivals, Milaca and Princeton, started
out like a regular ball game. With
! Bracket of Mora in the box the coun-
ty seaters presented very formidable
line up. They jumped right into the
fray, scoring one in the first round.
Princeton failed to get going in their
half of the first and two strike-outs
for Brackett didn't look very promis-
ing for the Princeton gang. In the
l>second frame the locals got to slug
| ging the ball around and the Milaca
defense began to crak in places.
Princeton scored twice in this round.
Back they came in the third and on a
combination Of two outfeld errors and
two clean smashes, scored four more
/, counters and put the game far be-
yond the reach of the county seaters.
In this rally Galley, playing first for
Princeton, pulled Babe Ruth when
he smashed the ball to deep left for
a circuit swat In the fifth the locals
staged another batting spree which
netted them five more big ones and
came back in the ninth and counted
three more just to show they still had
the punch left. Milaca scored a lone
run in the lucky seventh, making the
final count IA to 2.
Lefty Halvorson was on the firing
line for the Princetonians and more
than held up his share of the burden.
Six, hits was the best the Milacaites
could do with his port side delivery
and he kept these we'll scattered. He
finished strong, striking out two out
of three in the last round. Murph
Angstman worked back of the bat and
put up classy article Of ball. Plaas
and Anderson handled the indicators
satisfactorily to all concerned.
Pease VS.. Ogilvie.
! Pease finished the county fair pro-
gram by defeating the Ogilvie team
IA to Z. = Onamia was scheduled to
play Pease, but was unable to appear
owning to the absence of several of
their star performers, so the Kanabec
county bunch was substituted in their
place. The game was an even up af-
fair in the early stages, but Pease was
too much for the Ogilvie crowd and
kept slugging the ball until they had
a comfortable lead and added to this
from inning to inning until the game
was safely slowed away for keeps.
Both teams showed flashes of real
form and then would go hay wire for
: an inning. It made good sport and
lots Of fun for the crowd. Hatch and
. White worked for Ogilvie and Erick-
son and Stark toiled for the Mile
Lacs county team. Wood and Newton
umpired the contest, the former act
, ing as umpire-in-chi and the latter
calling the close ones on bases. Both
