playing of the Sioux Fal.s-Webster
game at Aberdeen and on Friday the
team was paid off mud disbanded. Taken
the record for the season has
been especially good, standing 80
games won and IA games lost. The
majority OF the losing games occurred on
the southern Strip when the pitching
staff was IN poor shape and a couple
OF the best players out OF the game by
reason OF injuries. As soon as the
pitchers box vas frightened up with
Blewett and Thielman the victories
quickly exceeded the defeats. That our
team was u good one IL shown by the
ayidity with which The majority ri the
players were snapped mp by other teams.
Sioux Falls secured Blewett and ThieI-
