THEIR SToRY-The Todd County
Argus of this week has a long and pleas
ant account OF the visit and the game
from which the following extracts are
| made:
1t was merry crowd that boarded
the train Monday morning to visit our
sister village of Sank Centre and see the
game of ball and enjoy day Of pleas
ure. Conductor Stephenson had pro-
vided an extra coach and had no room
to spare as about hundred persons
boarded the train here
Our band accompanied us, and when
the train reached the depot platform the
Sank Centre band was on hand to greet
us. After playing a piece on the plat
form they formed in line and marched to
the public square followed by the Long
Prairie band and ball club. Here our
band played two pieces and the Sank
Centre boys one when all dispersed. Rev.
X. S. Sargent and John Frazer met two
of the ennis>players on the ground and
in playing six set defeated Sank Centre
by score OF 10 to 20.
The game was called q little after two
O'Clock with Johnny Lay, as umpire.
During the entire game the wind blew
a little hurricane which made it very
hard playing. The right fielder of the
visitors hasn't got all the sand out of
his eyes yet. Had it not been for the
wind the the score would not have run
SO high. Both clubs made numerous
errors, our catcher's hands being so
badly bruised toward tie last that he
could NOT hold the ball. Six runs were
scored on the errors of the catcher which
is something very unusual with him as
lie catches a faultless game. The game
was so close all the way through that it
was intensely interesting to the large
crowd that witnessed it, as the score
will show.
Our pitcher proved puzzler to the
home club as they could not find his
in trying to line the ball out. In sizing
boys thought he could not last more
than four or five innings at most, but he
always does his best work at the last.
Our boyt found Quinn so freely that he
was taken out of the box after the first
inning. He was, however, said to be
suffering from an injured arm.
The best of feeling prevailed through
out the game and the umpire gave per-
tect satisfaction to all parties. Though
his sympathies were with Sank Centre
he did not soow it in his decfsionsl The
game was said to be one of the most
pleasant ever played in Sank Centre
1t was trst of skill between amateur
players who were actual residents of
the two localities, and the courtesy
shown our ball team and the band will
be productive of better feeling beteen the
two town, as it gave an opportunity for
better acquaintance.
It rained all the way home but every
body was happy as is always the case
after pleasant visit is enjoyed,
We estimated that nearly a thousand
people were on tie ground to see the
game, and the grounds been fenced and
a small admission fee been charged the
receipts would have Il snug little sum for
the two ball teams.
During our breef stay we met a num-
Der of the representative men of the vii
lage, but had no time to call. We
noticed in front of Capsers store the
words, "Welcome to Long Prairie.''
The people Of Sank Centre are cor
daily invited to come up to Long Prai-
RE and we will accord them as warm a
welcome as Our people received Monday
last.
