Grand Forks came together to
play for first money and the
championship of North Dakota.
It was hotly contested game and
one of the prettiest ever witnessed
in the state. Cooperstown won,
the score being 4 to 3. The visit
ing players left on the afternoon
train for their homes, all we'll
pleased with their treatment while
here.
Wellington Irysh, of Wheatland
umpired the games between Devils
Lake and Grand Forks and gave
better satisfaction than any
other umpire who ever of6ciated
here. Billy has a way of plea
sanity standing off kicking players
that causes everybody to feel good
even the kickers.
Mayor Brown deserves a good
deal of credit for his endeavor to
advertise the Chautauqua grounds
and Devils Lake by bringing
about this tournament. The base
ball contest between the leading
clubs of the state was the talk of
the fans throughout North Dakota
and all had good words for the
enterprise and public spirit dis
played by Devils Lakes plucky
mayor. He did not expect the
tournament would be a paying one
financially, but he had a right to
expect a better patronage from
the city then he received. This
he would undoubtedly have had
if the weather had been fine. The
rain storms of Thursday and Fri
day night kept many away, who
believed the grounds would not be
in condition for good ball playing.

The Baseball Tournament.

The baseball tournament was
not financial success to the pro-
moter, Mayor Brown, but it was
the most enjoyable expositions of
the national game witnessed here
this summer. Friday afternoon
Cooperstown and Devils Lake
started the ball rolling, but the
home team was clearly outclassed,
the score resulting in 9 to l in
favor of Cooperstown. Devils
Lake had Fisher, a Minneapolis
southpaw pitcher, in the box and
he was wild and weak. At 4
O'Clock Grand Forks and Devils
Lake crossed bats, the locals hav-
ing Earl Clemmons in the box.
The home team was defeated. IA
to s.
The new pitcher from Mime
apolis had an idea he could hold
the heavy hitters from the Forks
down and win if he could be given
another show in the box, so
another game between Grand
Forks and Devils Lake was ar
ranged for Saturday morning, each
club putting up $50. The game
was called at 10 o'clock and it
was agreed to stop playing at IL.
Fisher was easy for the visitors
and the score at the end of the
fifth inning, when the game was
called, was 5 to l in favor of the
Forks.

His Toast.

Brown was very much in love with
pretty Miss Simpson and had told her
so repeatedly, but in vain. She did
not reciprocate. Browns friends knew
of the affair, and whenever Brown
gave toast Miss Simpson was made
the subject Of it. One night, when
Brown and his companions were en-
joying a little supper among them
selves, one Of the men said:
Come, Brown, your usual toast"
"No," came the reply. "Since can't
make her Brown I'll toast her no lon-
