BASE BALL.
Fargo, Fessenden, Foster Coun.
ty, Carrington.

Saturday, July 29th, was an ideal
day for the national pastime, and
one that will long be remembered by
Cooperstown and forgotten as speedily
as possible by Darlington. As the
sun rose in the heavens 50 rose Car ;
ringtOn's hackers hopes, until their
enthusiasm reached the ''blowing of"
point. They maintained this pres
sure until the 7th inning, when thei'
tiues burst, leaving them in state of
utter collapse.
So sure was Darlington of the purse
that they had the gall to insist that
Cooperstown put up a s25 forfeit to
insurea a second game for similar
purse, and thus amply recompense
them for sending to Fargo for Paddy
Grant. This caused a half hours
wrangling, which was settled by
Jimmy's signing an agreement to
bring his team to Darlington Monday.
w. Sinclair opened the ball for
Cooperstswn by driving an easy one
to Sd baseman, who kindly let it go
through him. They kindly passed
the next two men to first but
famed Kelly. Phipps drove one
to left who kindly mutfed,
allowing Will to- score Jimmy
tried to follow suit but was thrown
out at home. Andrew made Sd on the
throw in, got there in time to file
homestead, before the ball did, but
Umpire Galehouse at this time became
afflicted with opthalmia ard called
him out. Even the Darlington catcher

house reversed his decision, aud the
game proceeded.
Darlington began to hit the ball
hard right from the start, but by per-
feet fielding by Cooperstownites, only
two pair of red legs had succeeded in
crossing home plate up to the 7th in-
ming. At this point Hades broke
loose. Darlington had ~ runner on 1st.
The next man up sent torrid
grounder to Jimmy who in the eager
ness to make double play, fulnbled
the ball, until the runner passed him,
he fired the ball to first however in
plenty of time to cut off the runner

and Manager Wing had lost 4 pounds
of fat and had torn out hand fulls Of
hair out of his head, that he concluded
that Cooperstown was not to be bluff

be stolen in any barefaced manner.
Matter was settled by calling both
men out, giving Galehouse we'll

Kvello. which ended all trouble. Try
as hard as they could, Darlington
could not overcome the lead Coopers-
town had, and finished two behind. In
many respects it was q great game,
and in some respects u queer game.
Cooperstown only made 4 safe hits,
while Darlington made II. This was
enough to win any game, and probably
would have, had it not been for their
Sd baseman, who evidently got his
stockings on his hands aud his hands
in his shoes. Out of 5 chances, lie
made errors and nearly all were
costly ones. Arneson made of the
\ hits, one of them rattling 2 bagger
to the sidewalk, he making Sd on a
poor throw in. Kelly lost his batting

some fine throws, heading off run

He had good control, good speed and
