Of the season, namarrd 10y any wra.n'
ling or disputes. TheSioux Falls tear
IA their old gold uniforms, are IL
huskieot looking team that has apptas
ed here this season aud they are certals
y a gentlemanly and good natmred loI
OF players. The quiet behavior OF boil
teams and the absence OF amy rootine
or excitement would lead one to sup
pose it was a very friendly game with
no incentive to wiz by either side, but
on the contrary it was a sharp, clean
cut game played for all il was worth
Webster presented Blewett and Frar,
as its battery and they We're opposed
by Jackson aud Bianford. Both pitch
eIs did magnificent work, but Biewett
ably sustained his reputation OF a high
or ade pitcher. There can be no ques,
tion but what he is able tohold his own
in any company and the way he had
the Falls heavy batters on his list was
a wonder. Sekaeffer landed on him for
q home run in the first inning. but no
one else crossed the plate until the 9th
when they sueceededin getting another
sc ore. In tins inning Branford made a
hit, Warner and Householder were put
out. and Starnagle hit one good for
three bases but in his anxiety TO stretch
his hit out, he cut second base by about
ten feet but the umpire was watching
his performance and upon the bail
being thrown to second he was very
properly declared out.
The fielding on both sides was nearly
perfection, errors being few and lar be-
tween. Webster had three men on
bases twice but sharp field work pre-
vented their scoring. The principal
features OF the game We've Blewett's
pitching; Beeciers home run; Corrigan
played a good game at second and
batted well; Ccmiskey put up an excel
lent game at short as did Thielman and
Beecher in the field. The Sioux Falls
infield played i'm fine shape supporting
Jackson's good pitching The score

TUESDAYS GAME.
An excursion train carrying 175
people accompanied by the Aberdeen
band, was run from Aberdeen to witness
this g aud they were repaid by See
ing the best game of the season excell-
ing even the game of the day before.
The visitors swelled the attendance aud
there was lots OF excitement, the Aber-
deeni ties doing their utmost @rootiGg''
to help Webster along.
Webster presented as a battery, Dali
quist and Frary while Sioux Falls put
in Morrison and Blanford. Pete did
not see n to have his usual steam and
speed and retired in the fourth inning
in favor OF Thielman after two runs
had been scored. The game was full OF
brilliant plays, but the locals outbatted
the"Yellow Boys" and won the game
strictly on their merits. Beeeller, Frary
and O'Regan batted like fieuds and to
their batting as much us Thielman's
pitching may the victory be ascribed.
As on the day before Beecller got in a
home run and the crowd promtly
sh owed their appreciation. The Sioux
Falls crowd was greatly astonislied ut
the form displayed by the locals to
whom the credit IL due OF being the first
team to win two games ia succession
from the Carnival team. Tire game
was Won BY a batting rally in the 9TH
and the winning run scored with no
one out. Tllielman was first up aud
reached / st on Schafier's error, l~,eecler
followed with "a hit, Frary same scoring
Thieliuan and O'Regan eentout another
safe one bringing in Beeclier and the
game was over. Score:

WEDNESDAYS GAME.
The game yesterday proved a sad
disappointment to the ians who had
fondly hoped that he boys would make
it three straight from the sluggers from
the Falls. TO be sure the locals hit the
mighty Drummy from Kansas City hard
enough to win any ordinary game but
they did not bunch their hits aud
a couple of iaso double plays assisted
in their downfall. Frary was on the
sick list so Severens went behind the bat
with Dalquist in the pitchers box.
Drummy and Blanford officiuted for
500 Falls. A lucky punching oi hits,
coupled with "A sAries OF errors, ena bled
the visitors t O run up 8 runs in the LIST
inning wI,icl, robbed the game OF fur.
