ohC VI NAlC h4Ocb lAlkClCObuS Uhll SdIlltS
ever played in this city occurred at the
driving park Friday between the local
and Aberdeen teams. The game was
characterized by sharp hard batting and
snappy field work by both teams and
exceptional for the number OF sensa-
tional plays both ON the out and in fields
with honors about even with both teams.
The play was stopped at seventh inning
III account of rain, but after the shower
the boys went ON the field and finished
the game IN the same style they played
the first seven innings. Score 2 to 4 in
favor of Webster. Waters and Flanders
battery for Webster, while Lorenzen,
Lyon and Heating were in the points
for the visitors. Waters was credited
with IL strikeouts and walked one man.
The visitors struck out eight men and
sent no one TO bases on be1ls, each team
had four fielding error and Waters for
the locals and Searle for the visitors
made two base hits. Kerschman
umpired and gave general satisfaction.
Pans We're delighted with the exhibition.
The Webster Marine Band did itself
proud and the six piece remanent which
escorted the boys from the park received
many deserved compliments. The
attendance wal fair.
Webster went TO Aberdeen and played
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the first
game was good, the second bad and the
third game-well, the less said about it
the better for all parties concerned, it
was simply awful, the boys individually
and collectively made about all the
errors possible for one game and the
teams We'd each other in this respect but
six successive games IL as many days is
too many for boys who do not make a
business of ball playing.
In the Land of the Midnight
Sun.
1.-THE following is a letter from Jens
Peterson, of this city, who with his
family are spending the summer in
Norway.-Ed.l
Stabek, Norway, 7-4-'02.
Adams & Denton,
Webster, S. d.
Dear friends:-
Stabek, where we stay at present, ig
about twenty-five minutes with rail
from C~hrisiana. We are very com
fortably located and are enjoying it
very much. Magnificent fiji and birch
trees all around the house; beautiful
weather; light all night-can read on
the porch until midnight, when it gets
a little dark until half past n or two,
when the sun comes up again. We
have had a very pleasant time so far
since we left New York. Ten days on
the ocean; 1000 passengers and nobody
seasick; new boat end service first-class
in every respect.
We are going over to my native
town, Kragero, in about a week, where
we will spend about a month, and /
know 1t will be III because l Will have
all the chance in the world to fish, sail,
battle, etc, not to forget the fruits and
berries which will be ripe about that
time. The only objection ] have to this
kind of life is that / have nothing to do
that is work" but I presume ] will be
able to stand it until / come home
again, when l will have to work 70
much harder.
To-day is, the glorious Fourth. In
my mind / can see you all, hustling,
marching and swearing, enjoying your
selves, of course. / should like to be
with you but my flying machine has
had a mishap, so l will have to stay
where / am.
With my best regards to all, / am
Yours truly,
Tano pafarcnp
