Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1901-07-12

the whole Grand Forks day pro-
gram, largely due to Grand Forks
talent yho assisted, was one of the
best in the history of that institu-
ton and no one feels more indebt-
ed to the visitors who captured
Devils Lake that day, than the
Chautauqua directors and the cit
liens of Devils Lake. Everywhere
is spoken the loud praises of the
people of that faithful city, voiced
in all sincerity and truthfulness.
1t was late in the evening before
the train took the 1000 Joy max
ers home taking with them the rec
ord of gala days at Chautauqua.
Indeed many of the visitors waited
until later to depart, but they
were doubly welcome and Grand
Forks can have anything it wants
from Devils Lake.
The base ball game was prob
ably one of the chief attractions
and the visitors came determined
to win from the Devils Lake
giants who had defeated and been
defeated by Grand Forks in the
valley city. For this reason the
game was the most hotly contested
one that has ever been played in
North Dakota and both sides were
determined to win. For the visit
ors the great Gregory was put in
the box backed by Chandler. Tom
Whalen called on Klinkheimer
that day to pitch a winning game
and Jimmy Gahan caught. It
was great game. For the most
part it was errorless, but when the
errors came they came fast and
assisted the visitors in losing the
game they SO heartily wished to
win. AT 2:30 the people commenc-
ed to wend their way to the ball
grounds and three quarters Of an
hour before the game was set, the
mighty grand stand was packed to
its utmost seating capacity. The
} bleachers on the right were soon
filled, chiefly with Grand Forks
people and their friends, while the
local rooters chose the left bleach
ers. Every old tin can, every
horn, every megaphone and every
other old thing capable of letting

noise was taken to the game and
admitted free. Promptly at 4

places and Klink started in his
