VICTORY.
Once More the Local Pennant Win.
ners are Crowned With Glory.

Nine stalwart tragedians arrived
in our fair city Monday, hailing
from the rolling plains and dragged
of Pembina county, from a
place they call Cavalier. These
same actors for many cycles past
have enacted tragedies that fill the
pages of the history Of North Da-
kota baseballdom, Strengthening all
who dared defy them. On Tues
day they tried to do violence to
the local aggregation of ball tos-
sers, who by the way, are some
thing like star performers, them
selves. Well, anyway, the tragedy
Tuesday didn't end the way the
prompt book of the Cavalier actors
stated it should. In the second
scene of the seventh act, the boys
from Jud LaMoure's county, got
their cues a little mixed and when
the curtain went down it was dis
covered the visitors lost their
armor with their lines and likewise
the game. The grounds were wet
and not in the kind Of condition
necessary for the playing of good
ball, but there we're some good
plays and throughout the entire
act each scene was interesting.
When the curtain gracefully arose
the scene showed the locals on the
stage. One Gilmore was tossing
the sphere to one Gahan, lately ar
rived from st. Paul and the man
the books stated was the came
up with a long stick and hit the
little round thing out among our
actors who ran after it. It got a
little mixed up and Mullane was
safe on the stage waiting for his
cue to cross. Then O'Donnell,
he Of the red and glazing locks,
took the center of the stage and
shortly proved that he was the
star Of the aforesaid tragedians.
Gilmore threw to Higgins, the
ball was dropped and Mullane
went to second. Then O'Donnell
hit one to right for a quarter of
the way around the stage and Null
lane was advanced to left third
entrance. Gahan threw to second
to catch O'Donnell and Mullane
scored. Corrigan got four wide
ones and Dick Barnett, the main
prompter, told him to take his
position at the right LIST entrance
to await further orders. Then
three other tragedians, Harris,
Clements and Ewing in turn took
the stage and with efforts great
and strong pierced the chilly air as
if the atmosphere had done wrong
and deserved punishment. You
have seen nice young men fan
their best girls on warm days!
Well, the way the trio last men.
